The top of the radiator has a small crack so it leaks a little bit now and then Muffler is getting kinda loud.
Had to get new plugs, and plug wires.
I bought this car from a relative who got it at a car auction a couple of years ago. I paid $300 for it. Best investment ever made. Its cheap to run and is aw some with gas. The car I had before was a 1992 Chevy caprice, never had any problems with that yet, but it costs to much to use with gas prices the way they are. So now the caprice is parked and I'm using the Mazda, love the little car fun to drive and run around with.
The mazda323 is the twin sister to the mercury tracer. I'vbeen bombing around in my tracer (89) for years while my plow truck doesn't need to get out there and pay the bills. the hatch back has loads of room for whatever I need to carry from store goods to 100lb critter feed and salt for ice control. The only problem is finding some parts-rear springs/struts are one. But I have been riding with one frozen up (strut) and a broken spring for 2 years now, so I guess that's not a big deal either.. great mpg and decent pick-up and fun for cheap... Why not.
I have had 2 of the 323 cards, 88 and 89. Current 89 I found on one of the fly by night lots for 600 bucks. I suspect it was traded in on a new car and that dealer wholesaled it. Cleaned her up and 2 years later it is just fine.
