The 1983 Mazda RX-7: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1983 Mazda RX-7 for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 1983 Mazda RX-7 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the RX-7
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Space, size and seats
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. 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
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
When you know your dates
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 1983 Mazda RX-7 from us first.
