Mazda MX-6

The Mazda MX-6 was a front-wheel-drive sport coupe built over two generations. The first generation (1988-1992) shared its platform with the Ford Probe and offered advanced features like a turbocharged engine and optional 4-wheel steering. The second generation (1993-1997) is the most recognized today, known for its smooth, rounded styling and a fantastic 2.5-liter KL-DE V6 engine.

Collectors appreciate the second-gen MX-6 for its elegant 90s design and its high-revving V6, which provides a satisfying soundtrack and driving experience distinct from its 4-cylinder rivals. It's a less common choice than a Honda Prelude or Nissan 240SX, which adds to its appeal for those wanting something different. First-generation GT models are also noteworthy for their period-correct turbo performance.

The market for the MX-6 remains very accessible. With an average price under $6,000, it's a great entry point into 90s Japanese car ownership. Well-preserved, low-mileage V6 manual cars command the highest prices, but the market is still finding its footing. It's a niche classic with a dedicated following.

Based on 15 recent sales, prices range from $1,995 for project cars to $12,750 for top-spec examples.
