#8134 of 8192 Re: Shipping MPV from Saudi Arabia to Los Angeles [nkhan00] by backy Nov 23, 2008 (10:54 am)
Replying to: nkhan00 (Nov 22, 2008 11:23 pm) You can research the costs, but I am prety sure you will find it will be cheaper to sell the car before you move, and buy an MPV or something else in LA. Used car prices in the U.S. are really low right now, e.g. in early September bought a 2007 Town & Country in excellent condition and with a lifetime powertrain warranty (no, not the Chrysler warranty, which could have a fairly short "lifetime" ) for $10,900. And prices have dropped since then.   You might try negotiating with your employer, i.e. "I'll sell it before I move and you will avoid the shipping costs, but can you contribute towards the sale if I have trouble getting a fair price?"
#8135 of 8192 Mazda MPV/Ford engine by budmantom Dec 22, 2008 (6:09 pm)
I'm looking at purchasing a 2004 MPV and I see that the engine is a Ford Duratec 3.0(?), any other Ford parts on the MPV?   Is this running gear on any Ford vehicles?   Thanks,     Tom Replies to this message: subearu (Dec 22, 2008 6:26 pm)

Replying to: budmantom (Dec 22, 2008 6:09 pm) The 3.0L Duratec is shared with the Escape/Tribute. However, in the MPV it is tuned by Mazda for a bit more low end torque. The tranny is a JATCO unit.   -Brian

#8141 of 8192 Just wont start by bassman15 Mar 20, 2009 (8:33 am)
I have 2001 mazda MPV, that out of the blue just wont start. Now I just had a Major tune up, including Mass Air Sensor replacement,plugs wires filters. It was running great and out of nowhere, Just wont start. I got a new ignition switch 'cause the battery and (new) starter check out. Any body else experience this ??

Replying to: bassman15 (Mar 20, 2009 8:33 am) I'm having a hard time understanding your post.   Was it running after the major tuneup?   Is it trying to start, is the starter turning over, is it getting spark, is it getting gas?
#8143 of 8192 A very big question by texsteeler Apr 29, 2009 (6:58 am)
Greetings all, I'm new to the forum. We have a 2003LX which we loved for the first 4 years/50K miles; DVD player, towing package -- really the perfect family car. At around 50K miles we encountered what sounds like the usual laundry list of problems. O2 sensors, oil pan, bad sliding door, more O2 sensors, possible cat converter, PCV valve, etc. Maybe I have a falsely negative impression, but I'm reaching the conclusion this is just not a quality vehicle and we should cut our losses now while we can still get $3K for a trade-in (especially since transmission failure seems pretty common for MPVs). I admit we haven't adhered to the service schedule very well, and I know one has to maintain proper perspective when a Ford engine hits 80K miles, but after driving my Subaru outback for 12 years, I'm not acclimated to this level of mainenace problems. Can a MPV reach >120K miles without a huge maintenace cost? Trade it or keep it? Thanks Replies to this message: jipster (Apr 29, 2009 9:27 am) tcc21 (Apr 30, 2009 8:29 pm)
