The used car price of an Mazda 323 is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are the year, engine capacity and power, fuel economy, car mileage and the level of equipment in the car.

For instance, a more recent model with limited mileage, or a premium variant featuring a powerful engine, typically commands a higher price than, for example, an older model with more kilometres driven or with a lower equipment level.

When comparing the prices of used Mazda 323, it is essential only comparing the sale prices of cars with the same equipment variant and engine size. Otherwise, you might end up reaching a wrong conclusion on which car to acquire.

Assessing your driving habits is crucial before you decide on the different fuel types available. How many miles do you drive in a normal week? Do you take many short trips, or do you tend to drive long distances?

For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Keep in mind that certain countries have bans on high-emission diesel engines entering their cities.
