Thinking of buying the 1989 Mazda MPV?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1989 Mazda MPV for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 1989 Mazda MPV for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 2.6L 4-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 12.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 37 litres of fuel. At our price setting, it costs about $19.22 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits groups, airport runs with luggage and family trips.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the MPV answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the MPV tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 1989 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
