#61 of 2018 95 Mazda 626 by jules226 Mar 08, 2000 (3:43 am)
I purchased my used mazda 2 years ago with 30,000 miles on it. One month after the warranty went out my o/d light started to flash. Before I knew it the car was lurking and I barely made it home with the kids in the back. I had the car checked out beforehand and there was no sign of trouble. Had it towed to mazda where there diagnosis was I needed a new trans. They only made me pay $400 to do a 36,000 mile service to it. The trans was over $2,000. Fortunately it has 56,000 miles now but I dont trust it. I'm getting rid of it and buying a nissan van. Defintely get the v6 mine was a 4 and not enough power. Good luck.
#62 of 2018 '94 626LX V6 Auto. by slorenzen Mar 08, 2000 (6:47 pm)
I am buying the above-described car for my daughter as a college commuter. It has 94K mostly highway miles and is in GREAT condition. He has maintained the car and has receipts to show. I am paying $5500 for this car. Is there anything I should be afraid of? Thanks

Apparently, as detailed in other posts here, the automatic tranny on the V6 is much more reliable than the one on the 4 cyl. model, so you should be OK there. At 94K the car is due for a new timing belt (mazda recommends it at 100K). I would suspect this is all you really need concern about.

Thanks for the feedback. He replaced the timing belt and water pump at 70K, new brakes at 89K and new Michelin's at 91K. The car is VERY nice, and I'm afraid i'll wake up and it'll have been a dream. The seller even took the car into Mazda to fix a sqeak in the dash....AFTER I had agreed to buy the car...
#65 of 2018 Make that 60K Miles by jgard1 Mar 08, 2000 (7:47 pm)
Oops! mazda recommends a new timing belt at 60K miles. Here in Canada, where we have metric on the brain, that would be 96K km.

Just two mods right off the bat.Elevate the rear view mirror,it was in a sight-line,and customize the head-rest restraint.In order for this to work properly it should be adjusted to the top of one's ear, at 6' we fell short about 3".The local interior specialist charged me 2 franklins and now it's more like the easy chair! I'm having a blast with this left leg flexor! Thumbs Up
#67 of 2018 626 wagon by rmsmall Mar 10, 2000 (5:05 am)
I recently saw something (I don't remember where) about a 626 wagon. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
#68 of 2018 Rebates Over? by johnlw Mar 10, 2000 (2:35 pm)
I notice that Edmunds does not show any 626 rebates in effect. I thought there were, ($1500?)and I was counting on one, quite frankly, to use in my purchase decision. Anyone know the status? Thanks.
#69 of 2018 Rebates by snoopy18 Mar 10, 2000 (9:43 pm)
The rebates that were in effect expired 2/29/00. From what I've heard, there is usually a bit of down time before the next batch of incentives are offered.
#70 of 2018 626 wagons by tomcat630 Mar 10, 2000 (10:28 pm)
I believe the 626 wagon dates back to the 1970s and then it was RWD, too. I like the 88-92 and 98+ cars the best. The 93-97s got old looking too quick after they were out.
