The 1985 Mazda 626: before you buy

No 1985 Mazda 626 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. 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 what to know about the 1985 Mazda 626 before buying one.

Before you sign for the 626

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and fuel system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $11.01 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the 626

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA measures its luggage space at 595 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the 626 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 626 answers the big questions.

Running costs

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. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
