I know this goes a little against the grain of our forum, but this Mazda is a fantastic daily driver for not much dough; I figure someone may be looking for a great car for a son/daughter or just looking for a fun everyday car to keep the miles off of the toys

You're looking at the lowest mileage, cleanest Mazda Protege currently for sale in the country!

I am the second, caring owner of this car, which I purchased in 2008 from its original owner (A middle-aged Engineer in the North Bay Area) at 22,000 Miles who took just as much care in keeping this car exceptionally nice as I have--the car now shows JUST 37,XXX MILES

Finished in rare Pure White, this Protégé has been garaged since the day it was bought new, has always run on Chevron gasoline and is in truly incredible condition inside and out.

I have ALL SERVICE RECORDS FROM NEW as well as both Keys, both Remotes and all of the original Books and Manuals. This car has NEVER had ANY bodywork and is 100% Accident-Free, I have a CARFAX available to show in person. This car truly doesn't need a thing to drive across the country.

If you are unfamiliar, the ES model is the top-of-the-range in the Protégé family and features attractive 16 inch Alloy Wheels (Currently wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Tires), Color-Matched Trim, a Power Glass MOONROOF, Rear Spoiler, Suede-like upholstery, a Premium CD Stereo, Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Power Windows/Mirrors/Locks and more.

This car is powered by a peppy 2.0 Liter DOHC Engine developing 130 Horsepower and plenty of torque; it is plenty powerful for a daily-driver and still achieves up to 33MPG on the Highway.

Additionally, several high-quality Upgrades have been installed on this car, simply to enhance an already fun-to-drive platform; this includes:

-Racing Beat Front and Rear Sway Bars
-Racing Beat Lowering Springs and Bump Stops with 5-Way Adjustable Tokico Dampers (You can tailor the car to ride as soft or hard as you like)
-Factory Mazdaspeed Protege Strut Tower Brace using all OEM Hardware.

This is the fourth Mazda I have owned--I have taken better care of this Protege than most exotic cars and it truly shows, from the near immaculate paint to the flawless interior, which still has a 'New Car' smell after nine years!

I am asking $8,750 for this car, which I feel is fair compared to similar cars with FAR more miles going for not much less.

Call, Text or e-mail me, my mobile is (831) 247-0417 and my email is tyhouts@gmail.com . I do not check my PM's on 6Speed very often so that isn't the best way to get a hold of me.

Thank you for looking and have a nice day!

That is a great deal, if this car was in Florida we would be talking. GLWS!

 

Hey thanks a lot This is actually the second Protege I have owned; although not quick in a straight line by any means, 2,600 lbs., independent suspension and excellent steering feel make it an entertaining driver, plus it's an extremely reliable platform that will last FOREVER.

 

Well kept. Very nice.

 

Thanks; hoping it goes to a good home. I love this car and would not sell except I'm going to begin commuting in January and would prefer to have an Auto for a daily driver. The new owner will get an awesome little car.

 

If you were in NY I'd buy it today for the woman to commute with. Sounds like a great deal.

 

Thanks for the kind words; seems like so far I should just take a road trip to sell it either in FL or NY

 

Price dropped to $8,750.

 

Deposit taken yesterday at a sale price of $8,750; should close on Monday, I will update at that time.

I'm gonna miss this spunky little car!

 

SOLD! I will miss her but she went to a great home
