Any car experts here?

Hows a 1995 Mazda Millenia? My mom has a 98 Ford Windstar Van she is wanting to trade for a car. The car looks nice but don't know much about them. She wanting me to ask around about the car. I don't expect them to be killer cars or anything just wanting some opinions on them. She does drive her vehicles ALOT though. So if they ain't reliable then I don't know.

Tell her to get something more generic if she plans on driving it a lot. Maybe a Toyota.

Well if she had the choice she would get a Toyota but pretty much all she can choose from is whats offered to her.

So is it a bad idea probably?

That sucks find a different dealer. Or do a private sell.

IIRC the Mazda Millenia was/is a fairly reliable car. Is it possible to check and see if this one has been maintained?

Well its not a dealer shes going to. Its a private trade thing. Shes got the Van on some classifieds wanting to trade it. She has been offered the car by another person. As for proof it was maintained I have no idea but I don't think so. Here is a pic of it:

Seems kind of odd going from a 98 to a car 3 years older.......to me anyways.

If the current owner has had the car for a long time and the inside/outside are in really good shape then you might be okay if the money is right. May think about having a mechanic look it over.

there good cars overall, but avoid the miller cycle supercharged engine, very exspensive to fix and problemsome.

unsure if the miller cycle engine was offered in 95 thou

if the check engine light is on watch out

there not easy on gas
