Buying a new Mazda 6

midlandmazda6 · 12-16-2007, 03:53 PM

I am about to buy a new Mazda 6. I noticed the car has condensation in one of the headlight clusters. The weather is cold and damp. Is the condensation normal, or should I insist on a new unit before I take delivery?

I would, something is wrong with the seal and it is compromised. It will only get worse in time.

Yep, like Johnny says, the seal is damaged. Is the car new? if it's used, I'd double check that it hasn't been in an accident.

Thanks guys, I will tell the dealer it's faulty and needs replacing. I'll let you know how I get on.

Definitely check into damage. It is not normal.
