The 1997 Mazda MX-5 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1997 Mazda MX-5 for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 1997 Mazda MX-5, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the MX-5
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Room inside
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who the MX-5 suits
It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
A week with the MX-5 answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.
