Thinking of buying the 1985 Mazda RX-7?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1985 Mazda RX-7 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 1985 Mazda RX-7, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the RX-7
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, equipment and fuel system; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The 1.1L 2-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated 13.8 L/100 km combined: about 41 litres every 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $21.39 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
The RX-7 in everyday use
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Who the RX-7 suits
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the RX-7 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the RX-7 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
