The 1997 Mazda MX-5 for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1997 Mazda MX-5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page puts the 1997 Mazda MX-5 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the figures tell you

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Size and space

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

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. Rent the MX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

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 1997 Mazda MX-5 from us first.
