Mazda 323/Familia/SP20/SP23/MX-6 market review from our 2020 Japanese Classic & Performance Car Guide
Lots of interesting and generally low-cost Mazdas in this grouping.
Most do merit preservation, beginning in the 1980s with decent examples of the Mazda 323 (an SS version is the one to have). A few 4WD Familia turbos have survived and their values remain reasonable too.
The late-1990s Astina V6 was fun when new but few remain and good cars are scarce. So too the MX6 with a turbo or V6 engine that rarely make more than $4500.
Moving into more recent territory we find sporty SP20 and SP23s perfect for daily transport and still in the $3500-5500 bracket.
Series 1 SP23s are getting scarce and at $8000-10,000 for an excellent car they can cost more than a Series 2.
323 (1981-85) $3435 [7]
323 Astina V6 $2880 [7]
Familia 4WD 1986-93 $8025 [6]
SP20 $3465 [14]
SP23 $5670 [26]
