Helping my GF look for a car. She's keen on the MX-3. Money's tight so we'd like to spend no more than $5,500. Looked at a '94 today but it was pretty beat up.
Saw this ad and since I am not up on my MX-3 knowledge I thought I'd ask the experts. Is this a good deal on a '92??<p>Auto., V6 power, power locks, power windows, power mirrors, power sunroof, not a touch of rust, in great shape, selling cert. & E-tested, 175,000 km. $5750 or best offer <p>It's a '92 creme colour. Problem is that it has no air-conditioning. Is that a fair deal? Should I stay away from '92? Is there something I should keep my eye out for?<p>Thanks guys, much appreicated.

Re: Is this a good deal on a '92 MX-3??
Talk them down a bit, i paid $5500 for mine and mine is a '92 GS with everything the same as the one your girlfriend is looking at- PLUS mine has A/C as well, that car is now one year older(as i bought and paid for mine last year) so the price shouldnt be the same as what i paid for mine. Try to get them down as much as possible. Also be SURE to get a power train warrenty, as my tranny blew like 2 months after i got mine. Thank God for that warrenty! The ad said OBO...make the better offer lol
and if its private...ask about the transmission history!
Anyways good luck!

Re: Is this a good deal on a '92 MX-3??
too much for a 92, 175K
I am selling mine again,
93, white, V6, Manual, power windows, power locks, new headlights, has 120K KMs.
All i am asking is 3500 CDN$, since it has no AC or sunroof. And i havent driven it since i bought it, just because i wasnt able to drive @ all, But its running perfectly.
In case you are interested drop me an email or post here.

Re: Is this a good deal on a '92 MX-3??
stay away from automatics if you can, they always brake. If you have to get an auto try for one with low KM's around 120,000-150,000 and try to get some service history to see if they changed the trans fluid regulary, then make sure up put a trany cooler on the car when you get it so you wont have problems in the future.<p>the price is high, but if the body is in PERFECT shape, with no rust and hasnt been painted it might be a good buy for 4500 check www.autotrader.ca you should be able to find one there. just try to get one with as little rust as possible. I looked at about 8 cars before I found mine, most ones for around 5000 were junk, rust under the car, body damage, high KM, painted to cover up accendents, torn seats, ect..., my 95 cost me 7500 + tax, but it had some minor problems with oil and coolant leaks.<p>Try and buy private if yourr getting a manual trans car so you can deal more, if your getting an auto a dealer might be better so you can get a trans warrante.
