couple of questions

Issues I found on the car

1-Rear wiper... light works for it but when switching it on the light dies out and the wiper doesnt work
2-Front wipers... only 1 speed works
3-Engine rumbles a bit I find... but could be rotary... when I have hand on shifter it vibrates decent amount
4-No ac compressor... but the car is build for it


Id appreciate if anyone has some general knowledge/cost figure to fix the above issues

Thank you

Sounds like common problems

Wipers switch only works in 1 setting = easy fix

Rear wiper= who cares

Shifter vibration= Needs new shifter bushings and prob a trans flush


When you say compressor is missing --- does it have the rest of the a/c system?


Squeak from rear tire sounds funny but could be true. Try putting a towl around it and see if the noise goes away.


DID you just buy this car?

1 & 2: Go here: http://www.mazdamark.com/
3: No telling what that means. If engine runs rough and you are considering purchasing the car, have a competent rotary tech do a proper compression test before you plunk down any money. May cost you $60-$80, but an engine rebuild will cost you $2K bare minimum, and can be much higher depending who does it and whether you just buy a reman engine.
4: Forget the A/C. This is a sports car and the less weight the better. If you REALLY want A/C and all other components are present, you can pick up a compressor on eBay cheap.
