Mazda 6 2012 1.8 TS - Warantee + spare key + tyre?
« on: April 09, 2016, 03:35:24 pm »
I have put a deposit on a Mazda 6 1.8 TS 2012.   

The (independent) car dealer tells me there is only one key. Are replacement keys / keyfobs expensive? Do I need a code?.

I declined the AA gold warantee, but I was quoted £549 for 1 years to £849 for 3 years. I am just wondering if I need this.

The car has done 18k.

There is no spare tyre or jack. Does anyone know the size? There was a foam block, I can't remember a hole for the tyre... how does it fit there? (sorry I forget...).

Hi there the replacement key is expensive from reports i have seen  :( But i would be more worried where the second key is otherwise somebody could have access to your motor  :'( Spare wheel kits are available have a look on the forum under wheels and tyres some are on e-bay or mazda dealers your choice  :-X As for warranty i would not have any modern car without a full comprehensive warranty spares and repairs are just to expensive  ::)But again it's your choice :-\
cheers steve hope this helps a bit  8)

If you are a bit cheeky, why not ask the dealer for details of the last owner, at 18k it must only be one owner and see if they have the other key.

You could always say to the dealer if he wants to sell the car you want the other original key and a spare wheel if it is only the doughnut.
If you don't ask you don't get.

I would not buy a car with only one key. Get the dealer to provide two or walk away.

I can see is few months after the first post but just to express my opinion.For 16-17 years of owning cars I have never used my spare keys.It is true that my wife is not driving at all and we don`t need second key but except that I`ve never lost or damaged key(not just for my current car).Puncturing or damaging tyre is at least 2 times per year.So for me to have spare wheel in the boot is much more important than to have one more key collecting dust somewhere at home.Luckily for our mazdas the space in the boot is enough for normal full size wheel +bose subwoofer inside.

There should be a jack in behind the panel on the right hand side of the boot. I thought mine hadn't one either till I discovered it behind the panel.

With only one key, worth checking the cars history, some years ago we came across a car with only one key,seems it was one among a batch of repos, from a bankrupt/liquidated company.
The Dealer would have provided a second key. But it's still not the original.!
