Up for auction is a 2000 Mazda Protégé LX. It was my daily driver for two years. We had done our best to keep the car in excellent running condition. Listed below are the items that we’ve replaced and the mileage on the car when the item was replaced. All of the items were replaced by a local repair shop, except the ERG valve and Idle Air Control Valve. I put those two parts on myself to save money. I’m very confident in my work – I have ample experience working on cars and other mechanical assemblies. The car runs great. It starts every time without hesitation. It has power windows. It has power locks, with a remote. It has an automatic transmission. The transmission is very smooth. The air conditioning is ice cold, and the heat works great. It has a Kenwood radio / CD player, which works great. The car accelerates properly and handles nicely on city streets or at highway speeds. The interior is in nice shape. It doesn’t leak any fluids or burn oil. The check engine light is not on. The oil was changed at approximately 3000 mile intervals. Click here for more pictures of the car. There are a few items that don’t work or should be noted: · The driver side rear door power lock does not work. The lock works if you manually lock / unlock it, but the power lock mechanism is broke. I just leave it locked since I rarely get in the back. · There is a small amount of rust located on the passenger side rear wheel well (see pics) · There is some noise coming from the passenger side rear tire. This noise started after the car sat for about a month. I suspect it’s the brake. The noise is minor and may go away after driving the car for a while. · The engine runs very smoothly, but the engine RPMs fluctuate a little at idle. It’s not bad at all, and the maintenance shop said it’s normal. I don’t think it’s normal so I’m mentioning it here. It doesn’t do it at all when driving, only when idle / at a stop. Again, it’s not bad. The car hasn’t ever stalled, but the engine RPMs fluctuate a little. · The front passenger side marker light has a small crack (see pics). Again, not bad, it’s always been that way since I got the car and hasn’t effected anything. · The car has been in two minor accidents, see the carfax reports. You’d never know it by looking at or driving the car. The frame is straight and car handles like it should.

You must either pay for the car via PayPal prior to meeting me, or pay in cash when we meet to do the title transfer. You’ll need to get / have your own license plate, as I’m taking mine with me. I will not release the car from my ownership until the title transfer is completed. This car is being sold as-is. It does not come with any warranty.
