Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This listing is for a 2002 Mazda Protege5 hatchback automobile. I am the second owner and have owned it since it had 7k miles on it. It currently has 133k miles and is in great running condition with a clean Carfax record. . However, it does have noticeable hail damage as you can see from the many detailed photos displayed here. At the time the hail damage occurred (2005?) I decided it was better for me to pay off the loan with the insurance money than get the purely cosmetic hail damage repaired. It did not affect the car mechanically in any way and the windshield although chipped, has lasted to this day. A few years and a toddler later, we needed a larger vehicle and now have no use for this great little car.

As I said, it runs great and has had some significant things done rather recently including:

New front struts! (2013)
New front brakes (2012)
New rear brakes (2012)
Replaced timing belt (at about 100k miles)
New battery (winter 2011)

This is a nice reliable, very fun car if you can get past the hail damage (or perhaps repair it yourself or for minimal cost). From inside the car you hardly notice it and because of the new struts and low profile tires it handles great and is very fun and snappy to drive. The interior is in excellent condition overall, see photos! I also own a 2000 Mazda Protege ES, so I can attest to the quality of these cars. Here are a few of the details and amenities:

It's clean!
And so is the Carfax record! Two owners, no reported accidents.
Recent passing emissions test is included as per Colorado state law.
16” alloy wheels (some clearcoat damage from Colorado winters)
Four snow tires with good tread (fronts have probably 55-65%, rears have 90%+ remaining, note: I have no way to measure exactly)
Two Falken Ziex ZE512 performance summer tires with probably 90+% tread remaining.
Tinted windows
Aftermarket Pioneer stereo CD player with 1/8” front aux input for iPod, etc.
Rear view mirror displays direction and outside temp.
Spare donut tire is good.
Never smoked in, mostly a one person commuter.
Regular oil changes...no I don't have every record but they were done usually around 5k miles which is what is currently recommended (every 3k is overkill according to current professional opinion and is an unnecessary burden on the environment).

The interior is in excellent condition overall, but there are a few things worth mentioning: the auto-dimming rear view mirror malfunctioned of its own accord and doesn't dim (see photo--hasn't bothered me at all), a scratch in the bottom part of the glove box, right rear window tint job was damaged by the dealer sticker when I bought it (an easy fix if it bothers you), carpets are worn in a couple of places (normal wear and tear), couple of cracks in the windshield (you'll probably want to replace it), top surface of rear bumper is scratched (I have used the included touch up paint to fix but of course they are still somewhat visible). I think that's it but I will revise if I think of anything else. The pictures tell the story and I have included MANY for you to look at so that you know what you are bidding on (I am a pro photographer by the way).

I have never had a bad feedback in 10+ years and hundreds of transactions on ebay and I'm not about to start now. I have never sold a car on ebay but I have sold and shipped fragile high end bicycles and cameras worth as much or more than this car. Happy bidding and let me know about any questions you may have.

Acceptable payment options include cash or a cashiers check (will require validation before sale is complete). No money orders or personal checks please.

Here's what you had to say about the Tokyo Motor Show

Fri, Oct 27 2017

We obsessively covered the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. You, our readers, provided the color commentary. Read on and, of course, leave your comments below. Subaru Viziv Performance Concept: Remember the WRX concept they showed in 2013, and what the production version looked like in 2015? Pepperidge Farm remembers. wooootles 2 foot high wing on the trunk or gtfo :) sc0rch3d Mazda Kai Concept : Dear Honda, this is how you dynamically style a hatchback. Thank you. Dfelix70 Kudos to KODO design. There are so many things I love about this "Kai" car: the awesome split panoramic sunroof, the Jaguar-esque tails (sporting an "eyebrow up"... ala The Rock), a sleek family resemblance to the already beautiful CX-5 and CX-9. Seems suspiciously close to being a production ready Mazda3 — save for a few fanciful bits (door handles, mirrors etc). If it doesn't get too watered down by the time it hits the streets ... take my money! Randy Ross Mitsubishi e-Evolution Concept: As an 06 IX and 12 X owner, this is so upsetting. I will never buy this or care to give it another look. Hope you are glad you killed my favorite track-ready car to produce this electric junk. AcidTonic Picture the GT-R going away for a few years and coming back as an SUV. This is ridiculous. Surely someone in marketing could've came up with another cool name. Evo The Evo sedan is dead, whether this exists or not. I don't mind. Lada1200 Honda Sports EV Concept : I sure would like to see this "less is more" design aesthetic spread to their gas-powered production line. RustyShackleford Love it. I see glimpses of late 1970 Scirocco with Honda flair. Gintonics I just want ONE question answered in the affirmative, and that is... "RWD?" Henadenk AND A FEW FROM FACEBOOK: Toyota's press conference: Wake me up when they talk about the Supra. David Levinson Yamaha Cross Hub Concept: All I can think is modern day Brat, which has its own kind of charm. I'm assuming that it's a unibody design, but it seems happy to be its own thing rather than that crossover pretending to be a pickup called the Ridgeline. Would definitely take the Yamaha over the Honda, although I doubt it'll come to the states. Cole Henry Mazda Vision Coupe Concept: Face: KIA K7, Tail: Aston martin. Harold Shin A bit British, no?

Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
