Buying the 2009 Mazda 3
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2009 Mazda 3 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2009 Mazda 3 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Specs, explained
Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 8.7 L/100 km: about 26 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 481 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. 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.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Get an offer
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
