1989 Mazda B2200 review from North America
"Too much past to give up my truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cigarette lighter failed after 5K.
Ticking on the valves.
Failed smog check after 20K.
General comments?
Bought the car new in 1990; my first new car/truck. Spent my youth in it, and it and never had any real problems with it. In 2004 I stopped driving it when I got married.
For my 40th B-day present to myself, I had my mechanic take it on as a overhaul project. My fault lack of PM.
I will never sell the Grey Ghost, I love her too much! Though, taking bids on my Wife.
Just kidding, she was into it all the way.
