The 1990 Mazda RX-7 for buyers
No 1990 Mazda RX-7 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.

What to check on the RX-7
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 28 complaints with NHTSA, most often about seat belts, engine and engine cooling and fuel system; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
The 1.3L 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 at 13.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 39 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
The RX-7 in everyday use
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Try before you buy
Rent the RX-7 first, and buy only if it fits your life. 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.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Talk to a person
