The 2002 Mazda Tribute: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Mazda Tribute for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2002 Mazda Tribute, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the Tribute
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 32 litres, from its 10.7 L/100 km rating. Expect about $16.59 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Tribute
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
How big it is
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Tribute for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Tribute on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
