stillOrange Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I bought this from Mr_Bo11ox at the beginning of the year when my 405 lost in belt roulette. It is rather nice little car that did what it was supposed to, that is be a daily workhourse without any fuss. At the moment, I am out of the country and it just stands on the drive doing nothing. Quite frankly it has to go so its for sale. I don't have any new pictures but nothing changed about it so I hope Mr Bo11ox doesn't mind me using his old pictures. It's MOTed until January 2019, mileage is still under 80k.The sunroof works and doesn't leak. Good tires. There's small bubbling on the right rear wheel arch.It's near Macclesfield. Let's say its price is £266 Here's previous thread:http://autoshite.com/topic/27295-wtf-did-i-buy-that-for-vol-875-mazda-323-15/page-4 Supernaut, DVee8, The Old Bloke Next Door and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillOrange Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 It might look extremely boring, in fact it is, but it’s surprisingly fun to drive around.That 1.5l engine is big enough for the car, steering is responsive and I genuinely loved driving it on country roads around Macclesfield.Then you have also surprising fuel economy. Fuelly ells me I’ve done almost 2000 miles with average 42.5 mpg. http://www.fuelly.com/car/mazda/323/1997/stillorange/767651 Pat Earrings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Worra fool. She said no. Her loss.Unfortunately the majority of people just care about looks when it comes to the car well the girls I know do. My mrs mate, told her forever to get a mk4/mk5 golf tdi and she won’t have any problems..... would rather have a 60’ ish plate corsa automatic...... go and figure that one out....!?

Yoss Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I cant remember ever having seen one of these before. I probably have, I just don't remember. There must be dozens of different shaped cars carried the 323 badge over the years. That sounds like a whole new thread in itself. Its a well proportioned and attractive car but I've already forgotton what it looks like. Anyway, looks like a great purchase, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
