This is a review of the 2002 Mazda 626. This vehicle offers much of what the more expensive foreign midsize sedans like camry and accord, do at a lower price. It is the foreign equivalent of the Ford Taurus because you do get a lot of car for the money. You should stick with the 4cylinder because of gas mileage and ease of repair. The styling is sleek and gives the appearance of an upscale vehicle like a Mercedes or BMW
Pros: Lot of car for the money and sleek styling
Cons: Transmission issues in the 6 cylinder model

When is the best time to purchase a vehicle? I guess the simple answer to that one is when you need to. However, if you are in a position to choose a time to buy, the best answer is in December. There are a few reasons for this. Not the least of which, is that it is generally a time when business is off because of Christmas. Most people buy small ticket items at that time of the year; generally as gifts. Therefore, many people stay away from that big purchase like a car. Dealers may also be trying to make year end quotas and reach sales objectives at this time. Many dealers need room on their lot for “spring market” vehicles. Many new car franchises are giving sales incentives from their respective manufacturers to sell off old inventory. These sales incentives, oftentimes, include special financing rates as well as reduced prices. So, it it obvious that almost everything points to a buyers’ market in December.
We recommend that the new car buyer look seriously at “left over” models that are new or slightly used. Dealers’ new car models are often in conflict with these left overs because of pricing and factories offer the dealer big discounts to their cost as an incentive for dealers’ to lower their prices in an effort rid themselves of this burdensome conflict. This bodes well for the smart consumer who doesn’t mind driving a new or slightly used one year old model. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for a while, this makes perfect sense. Most times body style and equipment are the same from year to year. So the sacrifice of buying a car that is a year old is minimum and the price savings more than offset.
In December, we have motivated sellers with burgeoning inventories, and this all adds up to a great time to buy for the savvy car shopper. Happy hunting from the staff at BHPHPrices.com
