I am selling my 1997 Mazda Protege LX. I am not gonna sugar coat it, I am selling this car because it will not pass inspection and will be off the road by the end of the month. Anyways it’s a 5 speed, 1.5l DOHC engine, 144k miles.
Pros:
Engine is rock solid and runs awesome
Power windows
Power locks
Great mpg(38 if you really baby it on the highway)
runs and drives
new exhaust
new serpentine belts
new oil pan
regular oil changes
Cons:
Needs a new windshield
Needs a new power steering rack
Typical external rust for its age(over the wheel wells, door sills, etc)
The underside is extremely rusty(although solid)
AC doesn’t work
Cruise doesn’t work(although this could be easily fixed by someone who knows what they are doing)
In any case this is a great car if you just need parts for a protege project or if you need a winter beater for a minimal investment. $600, loacted in Rochester, call 585-451-9849 for more info
I’ll try and post pics tomorrow once I have some light
