Mazda still a Ford?

Well I have been searching the Regina used vehicle classifieds...all the different ones that I have come across, from links people have given to me or from searches on the internet and I found 2 mazdas i want to look at if they are still for sale when I get to regina in a couple weeks...
We had a similar 626 to the one in the link and it was an awsome commuter... so was our mazda pickup we used to have...cant beat 35MPG and the reliability they have...

I know they dont have a blue oval badge...but if you look at the ford company website they have mazda's right on the front page with all the other name brands they offer nowadays...

here is the link to the 2 I will go look at if they are still for sale when I get there... they will do until i get set up and can build a fullsize truck...

Most likely the B2200 would be my truck and the car would be the wifes as she loved our 626...and I liked it very much myself...

If you look on the sticker on the doorframe of a Mazda truck it will say "Built By Ford Motor Company". So, yeah, it's Ford.

I have a mazda tranny in my 89! Thats a nice little red truck too, they are reliable, and if all else fails, go to the junkyard and get a blue oval badge to put on it somewhere

I never had a mazda as a daily driver until i got married
Since being married we have had a 82 RX7, 88 RX7, 88 B2200, 84 626, 92 Protege...and for the price we paid for most of them, they were great...little unsafe if you ever get into an accident...but besides taking your life into your hands daily...they are great LOL

I have never had a Jeep yet almost bought a 79 cherokee chief for $500 but it didnt work out...my moms BF who is a ford man talked me out of it 5 mins after i said id buy it LOL...the back glass was broken and that was his biggest problem with it all...since he was the one that was going to have to help me fix it up we then looked at a 79 international $1500, then a 84 bronco $2400, then a 78 blazer...asking $1000 but took $760 so thats what i ended up with for the next 6 months LOL
