The 1985 Mazda RX-7 for buyers
No 1985 Mazda RX-7 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 1985 Mazda RX-7, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Engine and fuel
The 1.1L 2-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 13.8 L/100 km: about 41 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $21.39 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the RX-7 is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Best uses
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the RX-7 for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the RX-7 answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
