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

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 |

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.. |

Thanks, Everyone. Appreciate the feedback. I went to the dealer the same evening & found the car was already sold. Bad luck !!. Bsaha |

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 |

A loose fuel cap will trigger the Check Engine light on any vehicle outfitted with the OBD II or higher system (basically all vehicles sold in the US during the mid-to-late 90's). The Check Engine light will come on when the OBD computer has detected a malfunction or defect in the emissions system of the car. A loose fuel cap can allow fuel vapors to escape into the atmosphere, so it will trigger the system. Once the fuel cap has been properly tightened, the light should go off in a few days. I don't know how it is where you live, but in California, it is illegal for anyone to sell a vehicle with problems in its emissions system. This even applies to private sellers, and the seller is solely responsible for all finances involved in repairing the vehicle or the vehicle must be bought back and a full refund made. |

It could be the gas cap, but it could also be a bad O2 sensor, or worse. The dealer should have the equipment to reset it rather easily. If he can't, then it's probably a more serious problems than he alleges. -juice |

| When I bought my car, the dealer mentioned this problem, telling me that I needed to hear the gas cap click 2-3 times to be sure I had a good seal. He said it took Mazda years to figure out why the check engine light was coming on until they realized some people were leaving the car on while they filled it up (primarily in the north, during the winter). I knew somebody though who drove away from the gas station with a 2000 626 with gas cap hanging off and their check engine light never came on... | |

Check out this drawings of the upcoming Mazda 626. Looks Great I think, will have a new 2.3 I4 and new 3.0V6. Hopefully this car is luxury enough to replca my 2000 Millenia S when the times comes, since I don't think Mazda will build Millenia's successor.
