Thinking of buying the 2008 Mazda CX-9?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2008 Mazda CX-9; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2008 Mazda CX-9? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 172 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, service brakes and air bags.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 3.7L 6-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 39 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $20.31. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the CX-9 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the CX-9 for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
