Help On Buying A Sports Hatch

[Kim]

Hmm, Im wondering if this could be AL's "Most discussed" Ad...

u mean the 'visi pahai' add?

4. Mazda MX3 or 323 hatch - How abt spare parts for mazdas cos i dont know much on mazdas ppl.

The 323 Hatch parts are available. There 2 dedicated Mazda part importers in Panchikawattha. My brother owned an interpay hatch & we didn't have any issues with parts for it. I didn't come-accross any Interplay hatch for sale recently after i missed the red one in Kohuwala.

I do not have experience withe the the MX3 to comment on it.

u mean the 'visi pahai' add?

no not that one... but the car i meant DOES belong to the guy who did the shouting

figured it out?

[pradfred]

Hmmmm.........! Any clues ?

Ha ha GT .... you the man! No clues as yet.

Yeah, need to sell a few cars as parking is now an issue and wife is not happy about Garden being used as parking area.

(Never ever get wifey upset = cardinal rule #1) as this puts a stop to all classic buys / restorations etc

oh well, the MX3 has been with me through thick and thin and no hurry to give her away,unless its to a fellow car lover.

I will then have to resign from MazdaFord club as well.LOL.

Or buy another.....or a Ford!

I might sell my Mazda MX3. Good condition. And I really love her. Better than a Cynos (which I have had) as it has enough room for four adults and a huge boot.

Selling as I have my eye on another car which is advertised on AL BTW.

I dont want to saw anymore as it could be construed as an advert

The Honda is a nice one as well. (If you can find a unhacked/race prepped one) . Or Starlet GT turbo...... but finicky

cant belive u are selling the MX 3 man

your day to day running parts are easily avalable for the mazda 323 interplay and hatch, and original are also avalble from the above mentioned importers, i have been haveing my astina for over 6 years now. only hard task for me was when i busted my air flow sensor trying to be too smart.

but other than that the engines in mazda's are super durable.. mines clocked over 300,000 now.. so if u do get a good price go for it go for it.. conversions are a little hard but not impossible..

Pardon my ignorance, but why dont you consider a Nissan Pulsar Hatchback as well, the N13 model should be in your budget range. There was a nice green one advertised in the AL about two months back and it aint there anymore.

[MasterDon]

My choice would be an Alfa 146 1.7 16v . .

LOL..why am i not surprised....good choice BTW

i too will be soon experiencing that rollercoaster of pain, disappointment, and agony for that brief moment when everything works and you're on a nice road........if things go as planned...:hint:..:hint:

[dinosh]

There was one which appeared on on the H*t*d ad couple of months back. He wanted 2mil for it.

1.5-1.7 for the SR16VE. Guess it'll change depending on sedan or hatch too.
