The 2009 Mazda Mazda3 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 Mazda Mazda3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2009 Mazda Mazda3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The numbers in plain words
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Good uses for the Mazda3
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Living with the Mazda3
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Mazda3 tells you more than any review. Rent the Mazda3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Send a request
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2009 Mazda Mazda3 from us first.
