Re: Differences
No its the second mazda logo the diamond has rounded edges so it is a 93. But to be honest with you I have a 93 that has the original logo on it because I put it there

Re: Differences
So '92s have the diamond, and '93s have the rounded one?

Re: Differences
Whether a 92 or 93, it still looks like it's in decent enough shape. It reminds me alot of my 93. Well, at least I know what my ride will look like dropped!

Re: Differences
I'd say the fact that you can even see the logo on a cell screen means you're ANYTHING BUT blind. I can barely see it on a 15.5" screen...chrome730 wrote:Well then im officially blind or I should stop contributing while on my cell. I take you guys with me where ever I go.
No doubt, it looks really good. But that's not the point. There's one issue that makes a '92-'93 car almost worthless, at least here in Miami: the A/C.jrors wrote:Whether a 92 or 93, it still looks like it's in decent enough shape.
Before '94, the MX-3 came, like every other car, with an R-12 system, which means the moment you lose your A/C charge, you're looking at a $400+ expense to convert it to R-134a.
So, if it was a '94-'95, I'd probably pay the money he's asking for, but for a '92-'93, not a chance.

Re: Differences
400+ dollars? That's odd...I paid to get mines converted at a auto repair shop, for $160. More I think of it, I had a Jeep Cherokee, converted that too, for a little under $160. In Florida, is $400+ a standard rate for a simple change over? Because in Missouri, where I live, I've never heard of anyone having to pay over $250 for a swap.
And also, to not give a MX a chance because of the model year it is, because of a simple "change over", just isn't a good enough reason at all. Mx-3s are becoming more, and more rarer every year... and most of the ones that are still running are usually not taken car of at all, and you can spot those much more often, than you'ld ever spot one on the road that looks like the owner actually keeps up with it. And I am certain that 99% of the members here will vouch for me on that. If I wanted another MX-3, I would give that one a chance.

Re: Differences
Let me put it this way.
The A/C compressor with clutch for a '92 MX-3 GS is, at my job, $276.09 + tax.
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp ... 8203483___
The normal price for an accumulator/receiver dryer is around $30 (we don't have it).
So, right there, you have $300+ in PARTS. Then you need about $40 in A/C flush, oil and R-134a, plus labor.
If somebody converted your A/C system for $160, they didn't replace the compressor, and maybe they didn't replace the accumulator/receiver dryer either. That's a lousy job, to put it mildly. Both the compressor and the accumulator/receiver dryer SHOULD be replaced when converting the system, as they are different than the R-12 units.
I didn't say I wouldn't give it a chance. I said I wouldn't give it a chance at that price.
Last April I bought a '94, in perfect shape (even with the original paint and pinstripping, and still shiny), for $ 500. If it wasn't because somebody stole it, I wouldn't even be looking...
