Used Car Of The Day: 1989 Mazda MX-6 GT Turbo

We get a relatively rare one in this series today -- a 1989 Mazda MX-6 GT Turbo.


This one apparently runs and drives well -- though it needs some interior buttons replaced.

Most of the mechanicals work, but the windows don't, and the turn-signal is intermittent (just like on a BMW, hey-o!). The tach doesn't work and the driver's side rocker panel is rusted. Oh, and the fuel sender is "sticky".

If you're interested in this one, you can find it for $2,250 in Lexington, Kentucky. Click here for more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Had a 1991 Probe GT which was Ford's sister car to the Mazda MX-5. By then, the Turbo was replaced by 2.5 V6 which was adequate but could have used a lot more HP for its awesome handling.

      Sorry, it was 1994 Ford Probe GT (where the years go)
