I live in canada, and I'm in the market for a car to get me around for a year or 2 and i've come across a 93 mazda mx-3 for 4250$ might be able to get for 3500-4000i'm just wondering if their reliable cars? or whats the scoop on them? Here are some pictures of the car. The car also comes with allot of the stock parts, the engine is new only 75k kms on it, also a new transmition when he got the engine(its a v6) also has a sports suspension and wider stabilizers.

Check the underbelly for rust, particularly where the rear braces connect to the subframe.

so if i ask the mechanic to check for that he'll know what i'm talking about? also is this a good buy or am i over paying?

$3000 would be a more realistic price but still alittle high, but considering what has been done to the car you would never be able to buy everything and do it yourself for 3k. Is the engine stock?

yeah i'd say have a mechanic check over it, or if you're comfortable with checking it yourself thats fine too.
but yeah with whats done to it i'd do 3500.

try and find out what engine he put in it. this car is a nightmare though that body kit just screams pull me over. it looks like some kid owned it spent all his money on how it looks.

If it's a v6, why does it have rear drums

stoop14 · Post by **stoop14** » November 6th, 2008, 8:37 pm

the engine is a v6 JDM 1.8L DOHC engine with 75,000 kms on it

So he swapped a v6 into an RS? Or is he just bullshitting you? Have you checked out the motor yourself?

v6 into an RS?

stoop14 · Post by **stoop14** » November 7th, 2008, 7:33 am

thats what he said, why would a v6 not fit into a rs? I'm totally car dumb guys.

It would fit, but it would be a waste of time as you can swap a BP much easier with equal power to the 1.8 v6. Maybe he is mistaken and has a BP in there

Where is the car located? Maybe you could get someone local to look over it as well...

ok but if it is the engine in it that he said it is, is that a bad thing? Or does it make no difference.
