so i drove close to 26k miles last year on my car. i am looking for a beater truck. anyone know anything about the mazda b2200 trucks that may help me inspect one?

I need a beater, as well. I've put 17k miles on my car since May when I bought it.

:eek:

I really need to call about that Integra LS I found...

I know absolutely nothing about Mazda's, though older Toyota's and Nissan's seem to hold together better.. Take notice of what you see driving about town - I see many more old nissan's and toyota's than Mazda's... (trucks and cars included)

All of that is strictly my opinion..

An integra as a beater?

ROn - You'll Rice that puppy out in no time - I can see it now - Big stainless wing (why anyone puts those wings on FWD cars' i'll never know), bling-bling rims, big japanese letter on the hatchback window.... :D

:devillook

No... I won't... :devillook

Nor = Rice.

I don't know.

Just giving you some hell Ron :D

got a mazda yesterday! from what i've been researching, toyotas, nissans, and mazdas are the best but mazda's are about 1/2 the price of the other 2.

also, just got insurance on it...total insurance for 6 months went up $20 total. truck as primary and m3 as secondary. :)

Fred... if you don't mind me asking, who's your insurance with?

Also, what are the details of the truck?

There's a 4x4 2000 Jeep "Rock" for sale for $7500 in Bimmer Cars.

from what i've been researching, toyotas, nissans, and mazdas are the best but mazda's are about 1/2 the price of the other 2.

So no real quality difference between them, but the resales of the mazda's are lower? Kewl - Like I said - I knew nothing... still don't know Jack- (about the old jap trucks that is)

i've got state farm...both cars and home insurance.

as far as the truck, it's 2wd, extended cab w/ a regular 6 foot bed. 5 speed, 121k miles, 4 cylinder(no power!!!), power steering, ac, radio, etc. i think the 86-91 mazda trucks were the ones from japan...before ford took over so quality wise, they're better.

Interesting!

I have State Farm as well... both for the M3 and for my renters insurance.

I've got my eye on a 93 Integra LS as my beater, though I found some other options today. :)

My brother has an older (2nd generation) Integra LS that's a great "beater" car. I don't think he's asking for more than about $1,500 for it, but it runs strong and while cosmetically isn't much to look at it's helped keep a lot of miles off his 328i. If any of you are interested, I can put you in touch with him. PM me for more information...

Is it the black '93 on Autotrader? If so, that's the one I've been eyeing.

Nope, he hasn't posted it on Autotrader yet...
