    Mazda 626 Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

    FROM
    $2,970

    Mazda’s Capella was typically badged 626 for export markets and the nameplate was carried across five generations of the model in Australia from the late 1970s to 2002.

    Over time it was offered in two-door coupe, four door sedan as well as five-door hatch and wagon form.

    The last four iterations of the 626 were shared platform models with Ford (Telstar) and a variety of four-cylinder and V6 petrol engines were incorporated.

    The line-up currently starts at $2,970 for the 626 Limited and ranges through to $5,940 for the range-topping 626 Classic.

    Mazda 626 FAQs

    Value of old 626?

    Not very much is the short answer. A car that has been sitting unused for 15 years or so is likely to need a lot of work, and money to get it back to decent roadworthy condition, despite the low mileage. It needs tyres and a battery, and the back seats are missing, it's worth maybe $250.

    Ask Smithy Xtra ABS in Mazda 626

    Although the normal braking isn’t affected the ABS system is almost certainly disabled so you won’t have the antilock effect in an emergency. It could be as simple as a blown fuse, or it could be something deeper. Get it checked.
