"Versitile Vehicle"

"I have had my Mazda B-3000 as original and have driven it in all weather conditions. It has been stored outside for all it's life and subjected to a variety of uses including farm, urban furniture mover and overall slop bucket. Throughout it has proven to be a reliable,, utilitarian vehicle and hasn't needed ANY motor repairs in my 16 years of ownership.
