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.

Mazda6 diesel delayed until April
Fri, 13 Sep 2013Diesel enthusiasts waiting on the new Skyactiv-D-powered Mazda6 will have to wait a bit longer. The shapely fuel-efficient four-door has just had its North American launch pushed back to April, due to delays in emissions testing. Mazda had originally planned to launch the Mazda6 diesel before the end of this year, making the four- to five-month delay a rather serious one.
Mazda's senior vice president of US operations, Robert Davis, told Mazda employees in a letter obtained by Automotive News that, "final certification testing - the results of which are looking encouraging - is taking longer than we had initially expected." Following this letter, Mazda made an official announcement:
"The on-sale date for Mazda6 SKYACTIV-D clean-diesel has been moved to late-Spring 2014, to accommodate final emissions testing and certification. We are pleased with the ongoing development and are excited to launch this much-anticipated vehicle in North America. 2014 Mazda6 sales continue to exceed both our expectations and our production abilities, and supplies of the car are short at dealers across the U.S. More information on the SKYACTIV-D clean diesel Mazda6 will be available closer to the on-sale date."
Will the new Mazda Miata be available with multiple engines?
Mon, 01 Sep 2014At this point, the countdown until the launch of the all-new, fourth-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata can be measured in hours until its September 3 unveiling as easily as it can in days. With the debut of such a highly anticipated model so close, the rumors about the new sports car are starting to boil over.
We recently heard that the new Miata would likely get a 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder with a six-speed manual, plus a decent drop in weight compared to the current gen. There's even the rumored possibility of a fastback coupe version sometime in the future.
Now, Australia's GoAuto is adding another dollop of speculation into the mix with the claim that there could be "potentially more engine options," according to Mazda Australia managing director Martin Benders to the website. The more potent option would still be the 2.0-liter Skyactiv with a power bump from its current 167 hp to closer to 200 ponies. The other possible powerplant option would be a 1.5-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder taken from the upcoming Mazda2 replacement. This version would also ditch some of the MX-5's more premium features to cut the weight and the price slightly.
Mazda Hazumi Concept shows up ahead of Geneva
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Last week, Mazda officially teased its Geneva-bound Hazumi concept, showing little more than an aggressive headlamp design. But now, thanks to the magic of the Internet, another rendering of the Hazumi has appeared on the web, and, well, it's totes adorbs.
In Mazda's original release from last week, we were told that the name "Hazumi" means "spring up" or "bound" in Japanese, and is "particularly well-suited to a small car that appears to be bursting with energy." And now that we're getting a nearly full glimpse of the thing, we absolutely have to agree. The company's Kodo design language offers aggressive style in a cute little shape, and the usual raft of concept car-spec treatments (no mirrors, huge wheels, etc.) make it look even more comical and delightful.
Indeed, the Hazumi is understood to preview the next Mazda2 subcompact, and if this concept car points the way forward for Mazda's tiniest hatch, consider us totally geeked. Mazda is also set to debut its new 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and while the company hasn't confirmed if that powerplant will make its way into the next Mazda2, it sure makes sense, at least overseas. Stay tuned.
