Buying a 626 by bsaha

Hi Guys,
 
I am in the market for a used car. This one is a 1998 Mazda 626 LE, with 54000 Miles. Dealer in Michigan is asking for $6,995. This is 4 cylinder with a stick shift. All standard options are present in the car.
 
Need advice on 2 things.
- Is this a good price.
- Any particular problem that I need to be aware of, especially with the stick / clutch.
 
Thanks in advance,
Bsaha

That price sounds like a wonderful price, almost too low. Edmunds True Market Value (TMV) gives an average dealer retail selling price of $9,300. Is it an LX or DX? The LX has power windows/locks/mirrors and cruise control, where the DX does not. Also, give the body a good look to ensure that it hasn't had any major body work. If everything looks good, definitely go for it!! The only problem with the 626 is the 4-cyl with automatic. The stick shift, as maltb said, is a solid car and should give you years of trouble-free use. That price is absolutely outstanding!!

Bsaha: sounds like a deal. Dealers in most states offer a 30 day warranty, and if so that would offer piece of mind.

We bought a Double-ought 4 with a clutch and
couldn't be happier. Being from a spread the salt
state, our car visits the car wash 3X a month in
the winter. You may want to take a closer look
underside. Mechanically these babes are tough and
with proper care and service 6 digits worth of mileage should'nt be unreasonable. Good Luck

The extended warranty kicks in after the factory warranty expires?.. by korchma

Your factory warranty is still there. The extended warranty kicks in after the factory warranty expires. You may be able to return the warranty citing that it was misrepresented. Also, it's up to the dealer as Mazda has no say in what they sell or how they sell it.
 
I was tald at the dealership that the extended warranty kicks in immediately after you sign the contract, not at the end of your current warranty.
For example:
 
Now I am at 33k miles and still have 3 more years left from my original manuf. warranty.
 
If I buy additional 5 years, I'll have 5 years left not 3+5=8 years !
 
By the way, the quotes I've got are the following (with my 33k miles and Gold Mazda Protection Plan):
 
6 years or 75k = $2900.00
5 years or 60k = $2000.00
4 years or 48k = $1500.00
 
... I am still thinking..

Hi Guys,
 
Sorry, I am back again this time with a different issue. I found another 626 LX with stick, 45,000 miles. When I drove it, the Check Engine sign was on. Dealer tells me, he filled up gas & did not tighten the fuel cap. There is a sensor out there which triggers the sign. Seems like all Mazda's have this problem.
 
Please advice if any one's faced this problem.
 
Thanks in advance.
Bsaha
