Re: Honda

Haha, I've seen many of the kidlets who think their Honda is the fastest thing on the planet. They are quick little cars, thanks to their power to weight ratios, but my mom's '07 Impala, stock, a family car, could leave them in the dust with little to no effort lol. Who cares anyhow? They're great d...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

This'll probably be one of my last posts regarding the MX-3's themselves. I went up to Saskatoon today to check out the red low mileage V6. Turns out, once again, the owner wasn't completely truthful when it came to the shape of the car. There was a lot of body rust, and bird crap on the seats (how ...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Oh ho, I found something nice in Saskatoon, the next city over. http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-Mazda-1995-Mazda-MX3-Precidia-W0QQAdIdZ75371476" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I called the owner up. The car sounds to be in great condition, no dents, some mino...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

I don't believe the transmission itself has any problems. The shifter is knotchy compared to the smooth-like-butter one in the I4 I test drove, but it shifted all right. Maybe I'm just not used to driving that much power lol. After all, the car I've been driving for the past 2 years only puts out ab...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Okay okay lol. I really want that sunroof anyway lol. I can get used to the 1st gear. And if the crap tint can be removed, then that's a relief because it makes using the rear view mirror a pain. The fact that the driver's side mirror is also cracked doesn't help either. I'm guessing the V6 doesn't ...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Okay, decision time, and I need some help. According to the local Mazda dealer, the ticking sound we heard is normal, knocking or pinging would be much more noticeable, and we would be able to hear it inside the car. The cost of replacing a timing belt is around $430 for the 4-cylinder, and $500 for...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Reporting back on the V6 The body is in better shape, it has a sunroof, power windows and mirrors. Newer tires, and the interior looks to be in good shape. The car is fast, but speed is not the issue. The shifter is very knotchy, and getting the vehicle to move in 1st gear without it bucking like a ...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

I checked out the silver inline 4 RS today. Pretty dinged up. It's got dents everywhere, and some minor rust but nothing too serious. The interior plastic has some cuts, and the cloth has some wear on it. Mechanically, the car is in top form, lots of stuff has been replaced, aside from the timing be...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Apology for the double post, but I was just called by the owner of the inline-4 silver RS. It has a block heater, A/C, and a sunroof, and a Pioneer deck. It has only one power lock because of the command start. No power windows. It was his daughter's car for university, and she no longer needs it. N...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Too bad you're not closer, I'm selling my 95 RS (4 cyl, 5 speed) for 1400. But I'm located in northern NY so that'd be one hell of a drive, not to mention you'd need to bring it across the border. I need to get more active on selling it...i don't want to let it go but i shouldn't really keep to car...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

It looks like a decent car, at least from the one pic. Its a Emerald Green Metallic color However, I would not pay more then 2500 for it. Especially if it does not have power options, a unroof, A/C or a block heater. Keep that in mind It has a sunroof, and A/C. I didn't even think of a block heater...

Re: 1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

If the fuel economy for the V6 is around 25/30 city/highway or comparable to an Acura Integra or '02 Mazda Protege, I'll be happy. It won't be any worse than my dad's '04 Avalanche, which gets an average of 9 MPG if it's lucky lol. I agree that the price is expensive. It seems all Saskatchewan cars ...

1994 Mazda MX3 GS - To buy or not to buy

Yo, I've been out to get a car to replace my current one, of which I want to turn into a project car (the current car I mean, already came up with the design, it's going to be awesome), my 1984 Chevrolet Chevette CS. Bet you didn't see that coming lol. It's getting old, beaten up, and rusty in some ...
