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 (2011)

  • Replaced timing belt (at about 100k miles)

  • New battery (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, no oil leaks either.

  • 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 Firestone Winterforce snow tires with good tread (fronts have probably 50-60%, rears have about 90% remaining, note: I have absolutely no way to measure exactly, see photos of tire tread)

  • 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 and mechanics are 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), and there is a faint whine from the left rear wheel, could be a bearing or just a tire that needs rotated (which they do). 

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). Note that because of the way the car is designed, the doors and quarter panels were exposed (minimally) to hail, though the hood and roof took the brunt of it. 

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.

The car is priced to sell, lowball offers will be ignored.

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

Mazda prices 2016 CX-3 from $20,840

Thu, Jul 16 2015

Been eager to put your cash down on the hood of a new 2016 Mazda CX-3, but haven't known just how much to take out from the bank? You can call your branch manager now, because Mazda has released pricing details for its new subcompact crossover. The MSRP for the new CX-3 will start out at $20,840, including an $880 destination charge. (Alaskan buyers can expect to pay an extra $45 on top.) That's for the base-level Sport model with front-wheel drive. Tack on another $1,250 for all-wheel drive if you think you'll need the extra traction, but either way it'll be channeling 146 horsepower and just as much torque from a 2.0-liter inline-four through a six-speed automatic transmission. Step up to the Touring model and the retail price jumps up to $22,840 (with delivery), plus the same $1,250 for the AWD option. There's a Touring Technology package available for another $1,410 that includes moonroof, satellite radio, and cargo cover. Finally at the top of the line is the CX-3 Grand Touring for $25,870 (delivered), available with that same i-Activ all-wheel drive system, and an i-Activsense package that throws in an array of electronic conveniences and safety systems for another $1,920. So while you can get away with paying as little as $20,840 for the base model, a fully loaded CX-3 can run you as much as $29,040.

So when Mazda had the opportunity to create its very own subcompact crossover to tackle the urban sprawl, as well as the road less-traveled, it did so the only way it would – with the fun-to-drive, stylish and upscale 2016 Mazda CX-3. 2016 Mazda CX-3 Subcompact Crossover Priced From $19,960 Nearing its mid-August expected on-sale date, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has released full pricing for its entry-level CUV offering, starting at an MSRP2 of $19,960 for the entry-level CX-3 Sport with front-wheel drive. As a $1,250 upgrade, buyers can select CX-3 Sport with Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV all-wheel drive that takes temperature, road conditions, steering-angle and weather into account, among other factors, to help optimize to which wheels engine power is routed for maximum performance and stability.

2016 Mazda CX-9 caught on video

Sat, Aug 22 2015

We already know from earlier spy shots that the second-generation Mazda CX-9 is advancing in development, but here's an opportunity to actually see the crossover on the road. The video shows the CX-9's rear, but wait 50 seconds for a good look at it in profile and from the front. The CX-9 is no longer wearing the same camouflage from the last spy photos, but this time it has more cladding to hide the lines. Even with the obfuscation, you can still get a sense of the general shape. The CUV largely looks like a stretched version of the CX-5, which is a great place to start. Rumors suggest the new CX-9 will debut in November at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show and to launch in 2016 for the 2017 model year. Power is tipped to come from a turbocharged, 2.5-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder, and all-wheel drive is expected to be available. Related Video:

Mazda3 successor due in dealers this fall

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

Following exciting new models like the 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6, Mazda is getting ready to introduce the next generation of its high-volume compact, the Mazda3. After talking to several of Mazda's dealers, Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is planning to introduce its new compact this fall, which is earlier than what was originally reported.
Aside from what we've seen in recent spy shots and what appeared to be a full-scale design mockup back in October, there is little information about the third-generation 3, but we can see that the car will get plenty of cues from Mazda's stylish Kodo design language, and we expect even more technologies from the company's SkyActiv efficiency program to come to bear. AN says that Mazda is hoping to top 300,000 sales this year in the US, and the sooner Mazda can replace the current aging 3, the better chances it has at reaching that goal.
