1999 Mazda Protege Es Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Champaign, Illinois, United States
|
For sale is a 1999 Mazda Protege ES (1.8L 4-Cyl engine) with manual transmission. Overall it is in fair condition.
The bad: The body has some rust (primarily around rear wheel wells) and couple small dents and scratches. The passenger sideview mirror can't be adjusted. The engine leaks some oil (which then falls onto a hot part of the engine and gets burnt up and kinda smells). The check engine light is on. There is a rattling noise when you go over bumps. The clutch slips at high rpms. The good: The car has low miles for a 15 yr old car. The engine runs well. The car drives well. Within the past few years the exhaust has been replaced, the starter has been replaced, the clutch has been replaced (though has some slippage issues), the transmission was replaced with a used transmission, and the battery is just a few months old. There have been other minor repairs but I don't remember what was fixed. This car is good for getting around town. I wouldn't recommend taking any long road trips with it though unless you get some work done on it, like getting the clutch fixed. It would make a good first car for someone or for someone to use until they can save up to get a better car. I have owned the car since 2010, I bought it used from a Honda dealership in Syracuse, NY. I am currently located in Champaign, IL. The title for the car is clean but is from NY state so keep in mind that when you purchase it you will have to transfer the title to IL. The Kelly Blue Book value is $1,353. I am asking for $1,200. |

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
