Good to hear as I am in a similar boat with an '04. Compression check was just below spec but the dealership wants me to spend $650 for them to replace the coils, wires, and plugs. I'm doing it myself and hope it helps the hard start when warm problem but I'm guessing it won't. I plan to take it back to the dealership after and nicely ask for more options. Your experience gives me some hope as I'm also a second owner with very little records.
Just change those stuff urself so they would have no more bs exuses. bring the receipt with you and tell them it's time change the engine.

Replaced the coils, wires, and plugs but really no impovement. Scheduled to take it in next Tues at the local mazda dealer. The compression test states below spec but the dealer is saying it shouldn't have anything to do with the hard starting. Yet when they saw the low spec they did contact Mazda who said they would need to see records. Hopefully the vague carfax dealer entries for the previous owner and my latest oil change will be good enough for my dealer.
If the dealer comes back that Mazda won't accept my vehicle history is there anything else I can do? Is there any way to go directly to Mazda and plead my case?
