Buying the 2001 Mazda Tribute
No 2001 Mazda Tribute is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2001 Mazda Tribute before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the Tribute
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 10.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 31 litres for a 300 km round trip. That works out to about $15.81 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Good uses for the Tribute
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Tribute answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Tribute for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Next step
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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 2001 Mazda Tribute from us first.
