The 2003 Mazda MX-5 for buyers

No 2003 Mazda MX-5 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2003 Mazda MX-5? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Before you sign for the MX-5

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Specs, explained

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

Who it is for

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

What to expect from the MX-5

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

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the MX-5 tells you more than any review.

Picking a year and a trim

Within the 2003 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.

Next step

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

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 2003 Mazda MX-5 from us first.
