Bretty good cars

I've had mine for about 25,000 km only so I cant say anything yet about reliability. At ~170,000km total.

Compared to my friends civic and grandmothers corolla, its a hell of a lot more fun to drive. Pretty good on gas, not the best in class but still good. ~32MPG mixed. I drive pretty relaxed like.

Just watch out for rust.

I don't live in Michigan, so I don't think it would be that bad

qtddtot thread?
I've been looking at a 77 MGB, would it be worth it to trade a 2001 Chevy Blazer for it?

>>16656410
lul no.

too much $$

>>16656410
That seems like a better deal. You trade a gas guzzler for a nice convertible

>>16656318
Way overpriced for 160k on the clock.

>>16656318
way too much money. I'd offer him 3K. Blue book on mine in premium trim, lower miles adn with aftermarket rims and newish tires was 3400.

>>16656387
i patched and primed my rust spots before this winter and the rust is eating through the primer after just a few months.

>>16656318
>160k miles
>$5200

No. Post your local craigslist.

>>16656318
Is this in American or in Canadian money?

American money? Fuck off, offer 3k and move on.?
Candian money? Okay-ish deal.

Mazda 3 is good car but go for something with less miles. 40-100k but not over

>Candian money? Okay-ish deal.

nough

I got my 2007 s hatch with the 2.3 and 5 speed for $4500CAD

87,000mi on it too.

>>16656318
>$5k for a 160k mile economy car

I like Mazdas and own one, but that's too much imo.

$3k maybe, but not five.

>>16656725
and with way less mileage

>>16656318
I too am buying my first car, looking at a Mazda 3. Anyone know how the reliability on these is? I've heard they often need fairly major repairs after 100k, is this true?
