Considering buying a 2025 Mazda 3 GCC spec, 38,000 km, for AED 53,000 in the UAE.

Is this a fair price considering the mileage?

For Mazda 3 owners:

\- How much do you typically spend on dealer maintenance vs independent garages?

\- What are the major service costs around 40k/60k/80k/100k km?

\- How reliable is the 2.0L NA + automatic for long-term UAE/highway use?

\- What real-world fuel economy do you get, especially at 120–140 km/h highway cruising?

\- Any common issues or expensive repairs to watch for?

\- Would you personally buy this at AED 53k?

Planning to keep it for 5–10 years, so long-term maintenance, reliability and fuel economy are my main concerns.
