Fun until it wasn't

a family member gave me a 2003 tribute for free with 125k miles as a beater, many exhaust leaks from being in the rust belt, its a very fun car to drive except the fact it just xxxx itself in my driveway 2 hours ago at 130k miles, it currently wont start but hopefully i can get it moving again

Best Experience Ever!!

Best experience ever!!! We had to buy a car for my daughter who goes away to school and found the perfect car online at this dealership. From the second we called for information until we walked out with the car, SANDI was absolutely wonderful, friendly, no hassle salesman. He listened to our needs and really had our best interest at heart. A# Car Seller

I love my Mazda!

I really love this vehicle, my dad was looking for a car for me because my car was giving me problems, so I was only following him for something just to ride for a little while. I went into the lot and seen it, drove it and fell in love with this used car. Its very well kept, drives great and love the way it looks. I was suppose to just get something temp. I am loving this ride and adding more updated items as I speak, didn't need to but I love dressing it up! (lol)

Reliable, cheap to fix.

Great 4x4. Easy to find parts, Comfortable, and great usefulness due to design with glass hatch and liftgate. Great in snow. Fits 5 easy. Made in same factory as Ford Escape of same years, and same mechanicals. Family and I have owned several Escapes and Tributes. Some still going with 225K miles! Avoid the 4 Cyl however, and watch for rear shock rust issue recall for 2004-2006 model years. Didn't affect other years for some reason.

Best Car I have ever owned

It has every thing you need. Great for napping, speakers incredible for listening to music, hatch back for easy grocery loading. Plenty of room for most.

Nicest Car I've Ever Owned

I think this is the perfect vehicle for a teenager who had just gotten their license. It's cheap to own and very reliable.
