thunderbird Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi all. Still searching for my 1st Milly. As most of you know I've been through 1 95 millyL for 3k and now continue my quest. Can you give me an opinion from what you see on the following: http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/car/617141181.html Not sure of the price is reasonable. Heck, for this price I can get myself a Ford Escape. What d o you think of the price and not sure if this is an S model. Will call but no idea. Thanks. -P.S here's another one. http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/car/617405046.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 How far are you willing to go, there are many for sale in Toronto, on kijiji.com and craigslist.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbylamb2006 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 yeah $4200 on the white one, can't tell if it's an S or not, and Absolutely NOT on the black one, it's a 1998 with cloth....no sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Very hard to find an L in Canada, they stopped selling them in 97 or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I wouldn't go with either, the white one looks like it was owned by a ghetto rat based on the rims, and the price is high. there was a beautiful white 99 S on ebay a few days ago, something like 4300 I think. Not a fan of the gold, and the mileage is alittle high, but its a 2000, well maintained and in NY http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Mille...tem220216664050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really on Milly's but on lots of cars because I can check when they reply via email and where they are writing from and some were from Africa or Germany. Incredible!! . When the price is too good to believe- - it probably is. I'm willing to go max at 5k. Some ebay ones i missed since i didn't have the $$ but now i do. I'm not able to go really out of nyc since work is too much at the moment so buying local or will take a chance on ebay once i can check vin #'s on carfax.

///BHRpowered Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The white one on ebay would have been your best bet. 5k opens you up to alot more then 3400. I would wait around for a month on ebay and craigslist. Its spring time which generally means people buy new cars and sell old ones...I have no idea why, just is.

The ones i had researched all these scammers basically had liens on them still trying to sell it to me? lol Anyone know where i can locate a good decent one ?

///BHRpowered Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 thunder, a lien isn't exactly a scam, BUT I would avoid anything with a lien, repo etc, generally there in poor condition. Millenia's are rare, thats one reason they are so prized, but craigslist is either hit or miss. I would stick to autotrader and ebay, MOST millenia's are on the east coast in the new york and new jersey area. 99 S - white http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_...&cardist=85 00 - 2.5 but looks good http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_...&cardist=77 And of course, I would still recommend this one to you http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Mille...tem220216664050 Gold, eh, not great, and yes it has 125k, but looks to be in good shape. The only issues it might have later in life would be a belt, maybe a water pump in the next 40k or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look at that one BHR however the owner says their is a lien on it and promises to pay it so he won't ruin his credit. Funny thing is that he doesn't know that once their is a lien i don't get the title but the Bank does. So that one is a total miss. I never tried autotrader. Is it as good as ebay in a sense? At least with ebay I'm able to see their ratings to a point. Any revious experience with them(auto trader)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 autotrader is good, its only cars though, not alot of private sellers, mostly dealers, plus it cost like 40 bucks to list a car, so there aren't scams, people have the car orthey don't, no feedback, but its a 1 time thing Let me put it this way, I found my millenia on autotrader. Searching late at night it popped up when I hit reload, called instantly, some guy answered who said they just listed it and was about to go home, I put a deposit down before even seeing it. Granted it was a new car but still. I found my current Jeep on autotrader. oh, you don't buy the car on there incase your wondering, its just a listing and you go and see, like the classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm sure I can get the price lowered if all seems ok but what has me weirded out are these rims? These don't look like Milly rims... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Mille...tem350025438261 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 forget that one. searching through carfax it has a lien and it's been in accidents and several owners. Darn these people are selling things with liens and so many issues at such a high price. Swindlers / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 are you sure it has a lien, what does carfax say? it will say "checking lien records" in a basic search, that just means it searched for it, not that its there. also no those rims are not from a millenia, not even rim. Every single millenia, in all versions in all countries had rims. not hub caps. You could pick up a set of S rims for around 3-400 shipped.
