SOLD!!!!




I am in Northern Georgia … north of Atlanta about 70 miles.

I am selling my dark blue 2000 Mazda Protégé ES with about 73,000 miles. It is a 5 speed standard and has no sunroof. I have been religious about doing oil changes and maintenance. The car has just had the transmission replaced and has “new” tires that have less than 5000 on them; the brakes have also just been replaced… It is ready to go.

I have the old transmission if you want it and some of the stock parts.



The car handles great and is very snappy and responsive with the mods on it. It handles as well as my dad’s SE-R Spec V. There is very little body-roll and is very tight handling. The sound system is great and has good sound quality. This car has been well taken care of; a great car for the money.

Car is very clean, washed weekly, and gets detailed almost every two months.



Asking $6,000 or highest offer, with all mods included.




I have done some work to it as you can see from the pictures…

-Pioneer head-unit and front speakers, Rockford Fosgate rear speakers and sub (10’ boom tube) Sounds MUCH better than stock with no distortion.

-20% tint on back and side windows with lifetime warranty

-Eibach Sportline springs that lower it about 1.5 inches and give stiffer ride

-ACT street clutch and heavy duty pressure plate with less than 5000 miles on them

-Hawk brake pads

-Cold air intake

-Muffler replaced with aftermarket one (nice deep sound, no cheesy Honda sound)

-AWR sway bar in rear (21.5mm adjustable)

-Mazda speed sway bar in front (very big bar… forgot size)

-Strut tower brace bar

-AWR engine mounts (much more solid than stock to keep wheel hop down)

-17 inch ICW racing Trident model wheels, wrapped in new Kumho 215/40R17 83 H

-JET Chips tuned ECU

-Painted engine and exhaust (to prevent rust and bad looks)

-Color matched brake calipers and drums

-MP3 spoiler and ground effects kit

-Fog lights and mesh grille

-Green LEDs under the seats with plasma sphere in back… kinda cool :)

-MOMO cobra shift knob

-Pedal covers

-Metal gauge bezel for gauge cluster

-“Mazda Speed” sun screen decals in black

-Silicone wipers … very nice, don’t know how I did without them before



The things “wrong with the car”: Of course the regular rock chips that come from driving, two chips on the spoiler, and a few small dents in the passenger side fender above the wheel well. I know that the guy that had the car before me had to replace the right front wheel and fender because of an accident.

I can’t think of anything else to mention… if you have any questions let me know; I am in college now so I have limited time… but I will get back with you. [email protected]

I'm a standard guy as well, thats the only reason I'm trying to get rid of it. I'm tired of it and need something to do with my right hand.

I think the spoiler on this is for looks instead of purpose. Since it isnt one of the huge really purposeless wings, it is ok in my book.

If you were meticulous with maintenance, why then was the transmission replaced?

Right after the dealer replaced the syncros... the diferential broke in the transmission. So I just replaced the whole thing because it was "not warrentied". :mad:
(Lesson learned, don't trust a dealer and read the fine print :doh: !)

Dont go to the Mazda dealer in Roswell! They treated me like shit:2up:
