Used Car of the Day: 1994 Mazda B2300

by Tim Healey

Published: September 12th, 2024

Today we bring you a fun relic of 1990s corporate synergy -- this 1994 Mazda B2300 pickup truck.

For sale somewhere around Rockford, Illinois for $5,000, this bad boy has a five-speed manual transmission, six-foot bed, and regular cab. It's apparently been maintained well, too.

There are 230K miles on it, but the brakes, tires, clutch, bed cover, window rain guards, and suspension are all apparently new or new-ish.

This one does NOT have power steering or air conditioning.

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.

  I owned a 1984 Ranger regular cab long box 4x4. 2.8 V6, 5 speed manual, LSD rear. .... I wouldn't want another unless it was powered by a Coyote and had Dana 44's front and back on 37's ;)

I owned a 93 compact Toytota. Bought new after looking at used as the resale value was so stupid high on Toy trucks at the time that new was the only way to go. V6, extended cab & 4WD were the only way to option these small trucks so they had some capability/utility. One optioned like this Mazda is pretty useless.

Cprescott Hybrids are a very good option as it bridges the current system with the future and also allows for the golf cart side to be more developed than it is so that it can replace ICE vehicles.
MRF 95 T-Bird Chrysler Aspen which was an upmarket Durango. There was even a mild hybrid version which is a rare find. The name has an obvious outdoorsy connotation making it a good name for a crossover. The Aspen name was originally used on the M-body Dodge Aspen compact sedan, coupe and wagon from 76-80.
Ajla I'm less okay with the 2GR being gone than I expected.
The Oracle Volvo may want to resume ICE development since they completely put it on hold.
Stanley Steamer Summit, Storm, Cavalier, Reatta, Metro, and, I dunno, Viper?
