Mazda Protege MP3--2001 $8490

Mileage:
90100 miles

Options:
Laser Blue Mica (color), Airbags (driver and passenger), Power steering, Power windows, Power locks, Tint, AC, Custom suspension, Custom exhaust, 17" Racing Hart rims (custom), Kenwood eXceleon CD/MP3 stereo, Kenwood subwoofer, Custom interior, short shifter, Custom Nardi 3 spoke steering wheel

All of the above options came standard to this model. All custom work was done by Racing Beat. There were only 1,500 of these cars made.

Mods:
The only modification to the vehicle is the tail lights.

Pros:
This is one very well made vehicle. I've kept it up with all routine maintenance and have never had any issues with it at all. The car has a completely clean Carfax record and has never been in any accident. This is the best handling vehicle I've ever driven and anyone that I've allowed to drive it also remarks about the handling. This is a great car for someone who like to mod, especially power-wise.

Cons:
The wheels do have some road rash to them. The tires are at about 25% tread right now. This isn't my main car (reason I'm selling it...had to get a bigger car unfortunately) which is why the tires have not been replaced as of yet.


Please PM me with any questions. VIN will be provided to serious inquiries.

Cool car. Out handles a 911 Turbo on the slalom, as reported by R&T.

Yeah, crazy stuff! I was a bit skeptical when I read that until I actually drove the car.

Sweet car, but favorite is the P5. The hatch got a soft spot in my heart.

Unfortunately not. I already have another car and I don't really have room for two of my own. Can't wait til I have my own garage that I can fill up with cars :)

Those are the original wheels (one off Racing Harts) and I may be able to locate the original tail lights.

Was there anything special about the MP3's engine?

The engine was retuned by Racing Beat to give about 10 more HP to it, other than that it's the standard Protege engine.
