So what do you think guys!? What's a good price on each?

[shepherd79]

well the first one little beat up IMO. the front passensger side fender and hood have dents in them. rear bumper looks like shit. So what it has supercharger. By looking at the car, i would say the guy didn't give a shit about the car. How much does he want for it?

Second car. what can i say it is MAZDA. I am not fan of them.

third car. well it is nice looking. well maintained. engine is DOHC Vtec to start with.

I think your best bet would be the third car, but again it all depends how much money you want to spend.

[ghettogeddy]

the thired one does sound like a good deal but if it does have th vtec engine why would he say 1.6L non vtec i think with all the mods he would know the car

Yeah, that's my only concern about the MX-6. Great looking car, but yeah, I've never been all that impressed with mazda. Honda flagship: Accord
Mazda flagship: 626, lol. Hmm, which one is better? Honda compact: Civic (hate it or love it, a pretty hearty car) Mazda compact: the 323?!!! Wtf! lol

I could always have a lobotomy and be satisfied with a camry or a corolla.

UPDATE: the 07 camry or corolla, can't remember which is gonna be no joke! Finally some balls! A two hundred and seventy something hp engine?!! Ok, maybe TOYota is finally getting the point. Although the Corolla S "looks" pretty cool, and handles okay. If nothin else.

[MessyHonda]

my uncle has a 89 mx-6 turbo....SOLId car...my other uncle has the Na version...it has over 260k.....they first owner had a gf in another state and he would travel every other week....back when gas was cheap i guess...LOL....mazda cars are alright...my uncle works at the dealership...so if you have any questions just ask alright.

well if the jdm KLZE v6 engine was in the 626 id rather the 626 mmm 218hp

Don't get the Mazda! I had one, same year as this. I was the second owner and the car was only 6 years old at the time. The exhaust was rotted, the clutch slipped and chattered and I had to rebuild the whole front suspension.I could understand all this if the car was owned by a younger kid who beat it but the guy I bought it from was in his late 50's. BTW, mine only had 81k on it when I got it. I drove it for 6 months and sold it when the heater core went.

well i guess that is your opinion on one mazda car that you have own.....LIke i said my uncle works for Mazdas so he gets them cheap...he paid like 250 for a MPV van cuz the timing belt broke off(it had 192k) the van was clean after he fixed it he sold it for 1300....he says it still runs fine. my uncle says that the older mazdas are better since they are the real japanese cars...now its all fords besides the miata and the rx-8

i like my uncles 89 mazda turbo...he picked it up for 500 bucks.....and it pulls so damn hard.....even tho its rated at like 145hp it has 190tq.....he also has own the super rare mazda 323 in black, all wheel drive turbo its a 1.6L engine but with a turbo it pumped out 132hp and 136tq......that car was the perfect sleeper till he sold it.....i wish i could find one of thoes cars...it got close to 30 mpg.

point of the story: you just got a abused mazda.

[Jasonf860]

Well, it could very well be that the cluth was a result of abuse, but it still doesn't explain exhaust rusting to pieces after only 6 years, the heater core blowing, and unless the guy was off roading with it, also doesn't explain needing to rebuild the entire front suspension either. All I meant to point out was that I had the same car and it was a POS. Not saying any other Mazda's are no good. My older brother had an older RX7 that we could not kill. Damn thing smoked like crazy so he bought another engine. We decided to see how long it would run with no oil or coolant. it ran for 20 minutes with the throttle wired wide open before it shut down. We let it cool and the following day, it started up without a hiccup and never smoked again! Now THAT is a good car! Basically, as with all makes of cars, not all models are good and I only meant to say this particular model was certainly no good to me!

[BITESIZE]

I think you should buy a pos, cause you'll just race the shit out of it and ruin it.

[Selfmindead]

Sometimes if the car is traveling short distances all the time, steam builds up in the exhaust & can cause it to rust.

[russiankid]

why would you supercharge a stock 17 year old engine?

to be fast ddddduuuuuhhhhh

[russiankid]

to be fast ddddduuuuuhhhhhthen have fun replacing parts?:thumbdn:

[2ndGenGuy]

I'd say:

1. Stay with Honda. That means the Mazda is out.
2. The Civic looks beat, the wiring is ghetto in the engine area. It's out.
3. Get the CRX and put the stock tails back in. Those altezza's are FUGLY!
4. Enjoy the amazing handling that a CRX is supposed to have!

[BeatThisLXI]

Ok little update here.

92 Nissan 240 sx NICE! Badass car! But lots of miles. I really don't trust this one regardless how bad I want it. But it is Very cheap...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/car/212169868.html

93 Teg hatch EXCELLENT CONDITION. A few miles, but hey it's a honda. My current favorite, I definetly want to spring for this one. Tell me how much I should expect to pay. (and whether I can scoot around pretty good in this little 140hp 5-spd)

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/car/212369149.html

[86AccordLxi]

Well, KA's are cheap if you need to replace the motor in the 240sx (provided you have time/tools). Integra looks really nice and I'd be inclined to go with that.

In regards to the MX6, the auto. trannies in those are AWFUL and WILL break, so I'd stay away.

Alex

[2ndGenGuy]

Man that Integra is so clean. It's rare to find one thats not riced out around here. You should pick that puppy up. It's cleanliness is usually associated with how well it was taken care of, so you could probably bet on it being in great shape mechanically too.

[diegoaccord]

True. This kids as bad of a ricer as Honda-Civic-Accord (whatever it is). Don't buy that Teg, it's too good for you to ruin. Or DO buy that Teg, and put your ever so loved VTAK head on it, so I can still spank you with my "cute toy" as you said.

Funny how you talked all that shit about VTEC, but the closest you've PROBABLY ever been to VTEC is the passenger side of one of your ricer pals ride, it was probably a weak ass D16 anyway.

See I'm not the only one that speaks the truth....:Owned:

[diegoaccord]

Haha. I have a new sig quote, thanks to him.

most ignorant statement EVAR.

[BeatThisLXI]

Drove my friends 3.2 CL Type S a while back. Wicked car. And bite, I guess you and that toyota guy are just the two main assholes because nobody else seems to share your sentiments. Of if they do, perhaps they have better things to do than rip on people like actually discussing the issues at hand (imagine that). But I guess you don't have that much to do in Idaho so I see your point.

And diego, as much as you think vtec sucks, I think a lot of far more intellegent people here will disagree with you on that one. I agree with that statement, honda handling is truly magnificent for the car class.

Sorry, I guess I should respect Mentally Retarded people. I do apologize.:welcome:

[BeatThisLXI]

Drives like a dream. Now all I need is to get my F***ing car sold for the down pymt. lol.

[russiankid]

Why not spend the money you are going to spend on a new car on the Accord and get it running? Because when it runs the way it should, they are very fun to drive even though they do not produce alot of power.

[BeatThisLXI]

Yeah, they are fun, but two hundred and thirty horses are making me change my mind, lol.
