Buying the 2003 Mazda 6
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Mazda 6 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 2003 Mazda 6, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain to know here is the 2.3L 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.
It is rated at 9.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 29 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $45.57 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the 6 for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the 6 on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Over to you
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
