Buying the 2001 Mazda Tribute
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Mazda Tribute; this page helps you judge it 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. Before you buy the 2001 Mazda Tribute, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. 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.
What the figures tell you
The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 10.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 31 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.81, and a 300 km weekend about $47.43. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
When the Tribute makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Try before you buy
A week with the Tribute answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Let us know
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Mazda Tribute from us first.
