Auto loans: the 1993 Mazda MX-3
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1993 Mazda MX-3 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. Before you buy the 1993 Mazda MX-3, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the MX-3
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The numbers in plain words
Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 8.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $40.47 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the MX-3 suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the MX-3 on your commute, then decide.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
