Hiyas,

What do you guys think about this cheap car? I see them going for $1500-1700 range..Currently looking at a 1992 one with 174K for $1550. Mint Interior and Exterior. Almost no rust. No scartches..nothing.. Automatic

Hey can you share me the info ;)?

One problem with older Mazda that i have been told is repair cost too much compare to others like honda, toyota.

I dont know about the reliability of that model but i find it looks way hot! lol no serious.. it looks like the old Mazda protege AWD GT.

I agree. Mazda parts are way too expensive esp. if you can not find aftermarket parts.

Just got quoted for my '94 626 (approx):
Lower control arm - $350
end link - $170

[fast_typeR]

holy crap
endlinks for $170?!!??!

hell, you can buy a whole rear sway bar kit complete with endlinks and bushings for that price

well, so far, I see good reviews on the net..

plus gas mileage is pretty good as well

[DragonZealot]

Car is good and reasonably reliable. Just costly to repair.

I used to have a 91 323 and it ran great until an accident with a curb one winter. Good on mileage, small car to manuver but has pretty good storage capacity with the hatchback and folding rear seats.

No complaints here!
