Thinking of buying the 1985 Mazda 626?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1985 Mazda 626 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1985 Mazda 626, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Engine and fuel
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the 626
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 595 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the 626 answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Your move
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 1985 Mazda 626 from us first.
