looking at buying 93 MX-3
how is the 88hp motor for reliability?? the mx3 has 274,000km. Is 1500 a good price? mint body. needs new front struts. runs good, but still asking opinions. I need a gas saver. My DE mx3 GS is my fun car.

Re: looking at buying 93 MX-3
the b6 reliability is very good, but i personally thing 1500 is a lot, i wouldn't go higher than 1000 and that's assuming there's no rust

Re: looking at buying 93 MX-3
The market for these in BC is very different compared to AB. That's the going price for a car like that. I cannot attest to the first gen B6 but my b6 right now is very reliable and it's at 240,000 kms and going strongEvo_Spec wrote:the b6 reliability is very good, but i personally thing 1500 is a lot, i wouldn't go higher than 1000 and that's assuming there's no rust

Re: looking at buying 93 MX-3
you will never totally kill it. It will just eventually burn enough oil to become uneconomical.

Re: looking at buying 93 MX-3
That's great, I've actually noticed that I see fewer B6s in pick n pull compared to GS's but I assumed it was because the GS sold more.Ryan wrote:you will never totally kill it. It will just eventually burn enough oil to become uneconomical.

Re: looking at buying 93 MX-3
I've had my B6-ME for 5 years so far with 136k miles, burns very little oil, no prior rebuilds, compression is at ~155 across, gets ~28mpg, and have never had anything major happen. Still convinced that EVERYTHING was original when i bought it and still is besides sparkplugs, wires thermostat, and air filter.
Also, i drive it as hard as an 88hp car can be and love it none the less
Hope that helps even the slightest.
