Limited Edition... Yes or No?

Post by zevirii »

Hey guys, as many of you know I just bought a 1993 Mazda Mx-3 last week. I was reading a few diffent websites when I noticed that this one website said the following:<P>Only the 1993 Mazda Mx-3 Limited Edition cam with Purple paint and Leather seats..<P>Well after seeing that I started to wonder, cause my 93 mx-3 is a fully loaded GS and has purple paint and leather seats and all.. So does this mean it is a limited edition??

Check inside bottom of the seat (where it bolts down). It should say U43 (at least mine do).

I just looked again and on the passenger side door jam it has a sticker saying everything about the car... On the right side of the sticker reading from top to bottom it says this<P>Fuel<BR>-------------<BR>Grade<BR>-------------<BR>Special Edition<P><BR>So going by that I am guessing it is a SE then... Am I right?

mine has that sticker down the side too, to be sure if your steering wheel is leather and the gear shiftknob(stick) is leather and everything else is basically black interior(like doors and carpet) then you should have an SE. oh if you have stock rims then they should look similar to the MX-6 stock rims(but not exactly the same). but to be sure check out under stock info on the main page for the 1993 SE link. It will tell all there. the US version doesn't have the 25th logos.

Everything is the same as in that link on this site about SE's execpt it doesn't have the 25th thing... Being a US version I know it should't.. So I guess it turns out I got a better deal then I thought on this MX-3 then.. $4000 off the lot for this baby, with a rebuilt motor with only 30k on it

My car is an american car, and it says special Edition in the drivers side door jamb. Leather interior, power everything. The only options it does not have that I am aware of EC chassis cars coming with is heated seats, automatic transmission, and limited slip differential.

I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.
