Buying the 1990 Mazda RX-7
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1990 Mazda RX-7 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 1990 Mazda RX-7 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the RX-7
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 28 owner complaints on file, mostly about seat belts, engine and engine cooling and fuel system. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
The engine is the 1.3L 2-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 39 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Room inside
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Try before you buy
Try the RX-7 on your commute, then decide. If the RX-7 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the RX-7 tells you more than any review.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 1990 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
