    Vehicles filmed at Dealerships are For Sale. Make sure to visit the dealerships website for detail info about each vehicle. If your watching a video thats older than 90 days you can expect that vehicle to most likely already being sold, unless its a new car.
    FYI - Charleston Car Videos on UA-cam Started in 2011. Back in 2008 is when I started filming cars as a car salesman to give people a better way to see a new or used vehicle. Over the years I ended up selling over 450 vehicles from doing videos. Today 1000's of vehicles have sold from people watching my car reviews in America.

      Just got my 2012 speed3 with 112k on it about a month ago. Luckily I checked my oil for the third time about the third week of ownership and found that it was bone dry...burned through just about all my oil in 1200 miles....does this sound like a badly blown turbo seal to you guys? I'm hoping for blown turbo rather than cracked ringlands 😭

    • @NewDemons666
      @NewDemons666 4 роки тому +1

      Did a compression test and got about 120 across all cylinders. It's at the shop getting professionally done now though with hopefully a leakdown test. spark plugs tips also looked all oxidized, white crusted. That means I'm running lean right?

    Mine has been going on 16 years with no engine mods, and only aesthetically enhanced, I.e. wheels tires, suspension, wing, Carbon fiber hood. Still runs like a champ. It use to be my daily driver, but now it’s my weekend cruiser with only 56k miles on it. Interior still stock, and well waintained, and original nonfaded exterior paint ( gloss black mica ) This is my very first and only Mazda purchase, and I will buy another one because of the outstanding reliability these cars have. But now that I’m older, I’ve got my eye set on the new CX70 😇👍

    • @thebrenn882
      @thebrenn882 3 роки тому

      yes.. when its not that powerful but automatic is an obligation when the car is too powerful. you talk for you maybe but for most of ppl its too hard to control. there are so many accidents because of too much power and too less experience

    Had this same car. It’s a 2008.5. Picked it up mid 2009 with 12k, corksport exhaust, CAI, and tune.
    Was a great car, handled awesome and a ball to drive. In 1st and 2nd would torque steer like hell.

    Never clearcoat headlights! It will last maybe a year or two, and then start to oxidize again. Use a UV protectant spray made for headlights.

      @mrgoodygoodygumdrops4635 3 роки тому

      Had the best outcome with wet sand 600 1500 ,3000 then compound with drill piece attachment sponge, then polish on slightly harder attachment finish with headlight sealant microfibre cloth job done.

      @@goinbananas7606 Don't get me wrong, the newer WRX and STI are great, but it's great for a modern car. It will never come close to the fun of the early 2000 or 90s cars. My MR2 is the most fun car I've ever driven and I've driven a lot of fun cars. Keep your Mazdaspeed, or you'll miss it after I promise!

    I meant to tell you the other day when you were at the Subaru dealership, the Impreza's (or Scoobies as we call them) are used by traffic cops here in the UK becaused of their power and speed, when they are in cop chases on the highways! Bit of useless info for you!! LOL!! :-)

    • @CarolinaCarVideos
      @CarolinaCarVideos  6 років тому +2

      Hey Martin, no thats not useless info. Never know I might mention that in a future video when talking about Subaru's. They are quite quick cars and that AWD probably comes in handy when chasing vehicles.

    • @sq33qs
      @sq33qs 4 роки тому +1

      The build-up in the exhaust is normal, it's a direct injection turbo car. I bought mine from a used car dealership, got a good deal but i did go over the quite carefully before committing to buy. Awesome car.
