My Dad is at the end of his driving life (age 90). He has owned this car from new and he/Mum did only 30k in this car (still in use).
He has put the onus on me to sell it.
Where would I get the best possible price ( of £? do you reckon) for him.
Great condition, FSH etc.
There doesn't seem to be an owners club

    Hi, although Mazda(IMO) are well built quality cars, 626s are not the type of car that would attract a large owners club. I just had a look on autotrader and they seem to fetch between 695-1000, As your dads is an estate and has low miles, one ownes it is very sellable. I would place an Ad on Gumtree as this is free.
    Plan: [STRIKE]Finish off paying the remainder of my debts[/STRIKE].
    [STRIKE]Save up for that rainy day[/STRIKE].
    Start enjoying a stress debt free life..:beer:...now enjoying. thanks to all on MSE

    +1

    Though personally i'd £1495 it on gumtree with a good writeup and highlighting the low miles.

    Then after a week or two down to £1295.

    People will pay a premium for a v low miles mint car, but its how much above what an otherwise good one will make is the grey area on a car like this.
