1997 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"A bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have a three hundred dollar tune up.
Yeah.
It seems cheap, but it still needs brake pads, new tires, a sensor, and also a few minor ad-ons.
General comments?
Read This! If you are thinking of buying one of these be warned.
The only thing I suggest to you is that you should be careful about who you buy it from.
After reading the other reviews for months, I feel I should shed some light.
Before buying the car, like any other take it a certified mechanic for an analysis, and be leery of the car.
Use your judgment and if everything checks out... enjoy.
