  • Even Supra Owners know how long Mazda Motors last now.

    Believe it. Me and my buddy picked this car up from an auction where the the original owner took it to. The original owner bought it in Jan. 1988. The car has 462,xxx miles on it currently. I have been driving it around since we got it and it drives amazingly. EVERYTHING works in the car. (Power...


    Thats a crap ton of miles. I've never seen a Tracer like that though? Looks really cool.

          I would LOVE to find a BF chassis Tracer in that condition - especially a four door like that one. It's the same car as a 323 of the same age, but the 323 wasn't available as a four door hatch in the US.

          With a BP+T it would be such a sleeper.

                    That is SERIOUSLY sweeeeeeet! I would rather have a wagon, but boy that is nice!! Those Tracers were always a fave of mine.
                    If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.
