Is this a good buy? 2000 Mazda Millenia S
Hey everyone,
This is my first car. I'm 16 years old, know a good amount about cars, but as every teenager is, I'm on a tight budget. Offered by someone my dad works with is a 2000 Mazda Millenia S, it has 134k on it. It needs 2 catalytic converters, and two lateral links. How pricy would this be in all, and could it be something I could fix up with my dad, or something that would be much better off having a mechanic handle? The price is $2,000, but I can bargain down to $1750 easily. I have about 500-600 to spend in fixing it. Thank you. |

need more backup cas
2.3 supercharged wonderfull car to drive smooth quiet and powerfull. You need a fat checkbook if you ever have to fix it, and you will. I have had numerouse expensive repairs done not easey to work on yourself and expensive parts.

Requires a second job......maybe 3
Love my 99 S but be prepared to spend some serious cash maintaining the Milly S , if you are on a tight budget you should pass on this one.
In the last 3 yrs I have replaced both axles , both front lateral links , all 4 calipers and rotors , coolant reservoir , coolant hoses , 3 coils , both vcg's , all the vac. lines and tee's , installed non-foulers on the two rear O2 sensors , replaced 1 O2 sensor , a battery , and various solenoids , 2 door lock solenoids , a window motor and soon to be added ..... Struts. Just keep in mind that this is not my daily driver! In the last 3 yrs I might have put about 6,000 miles on it. Parts are not cheap and most have to special ordered , the parts guy will become your best friend and mechanics will either run and hide when you pull in or greet you with a grin from ear to ear as dollar signs flash before their eyes. |
