The 1990 Mazda MPV for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1990 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. This page puts the 1990 Mazda MPV in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the MPV
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 47 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, service brakes and seat belts; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 2.6L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 37 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $19.22, and a 300 km weekend about $57.66. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a van, it puts space for people and luggage first.
When the MPV makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the MPV answers more than any brochure. If the MPV is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
