Used Mazda 3 as first car for daughter?
Greetings from Vancouver Island, Canada.
I'm looking to help my 17yr old daughter out in buying an older Mazda 3 as her first car (at my insistence we're actually looking at several cars including Toyota and Honda, but there seems to be a surplus of Mazda 3s here on the island.) We're looking to spend a max of about $4000 CAD ($3k USD) In an attempt to learn about this car and what ownership would be like in terms of repairs, problems etc. I did a search here but didn't find any specific FAQ entries for this model. One thread seemed to indicate certain engines in the old 3s had definite problems (2.3 I think?) What can we expect and what should we look out for with these cars? As a point of reference, there is a Mazda 3 with with 160,000km (96,000 miles) up for sale for $3k. Many thanks in advance for the advice. |
