Mazda 626/929/RX-4/RX-5

These Mazdas came in different shapes, with rotary or piston engines but very few survive in pristine condition.

RX-4 sedans and Hardtops are scarce however the couple we found looked to be fairly priced, even at up to $90,000. Four-cylinder 929 sedans and wagons from the 1970s are realistically worth $35-40,000 and chasing more will mean a long and dismal wait for vendors.

| Buyer's Guide: Mazda RX-4

Times are great though if you are in the market for something interesting with a Mazda emblem and have around $10,000 to spend. Mid-1980s 929 Hardtops with 2.0-litre turbo motors are affordable and interesting even if maintenance might be a struggle.

Parts for the 1970s 121 Coupe are scarce and rotary RX5s almost non-existent. Better perhaps to choose a 1990-97 929 HC/HD with a four-wheel steering and the silky 3.0-litre V6.

626 Sedan/Coupe 1978-83 $7660 [9]

929 Sedan/Wagon 1973-79 $37,500 [2]

929 Sedan/Hardtop 1980-89 $4995 [9]
