1997 Mazda Prot'eg'e just over 138,000 original miles! 

Was daughters school & work car - she bought brand new car so selling to pay her new taxes/registration

Car is dark blue metallic 4 door with very clean and never smoked in tan interior. 
4 speed Automatic transmission. 1.5 4 cyl engine. Great gas mileage: City: 23-26 mpg Highway: 30-34! Starts right up, no smoke, idles great and runs fantastic! Handles good, no squeaks or noises when you drive - even on rough roads! Nice and quiet! Drive anywhere. Repainted original color 2 years ago, so paint looks great! 

Factory options:

Tilt steering, cruise control, power locks, power mirrors, AC, Power Steering, Factory AM/FM Tape & Factory CD, Rear Window Defroster. Real guages not idiot lights. Everything works!

4 matching Yokohama tires good. 

I have really taken care of this car for her the 2 years she has owned it . regular oil changes and preventive maintenance performed.  Well maintained. receipts for all work done.

Exhaust replaced in 2012. Car has new front struts, plus  2 lower ball joints,  2 outer tie rod ends, front and rear brakes, (calipers, brake lines, rotors, pads), transmission filter serviced, Both CV Axle shafts, valve cover gasket, new water pump, tune up to include cap, plugs wires and rotor, alternator and AC belts replaced. New AC condensor and ac "o" rings and AC hoses (AC blows very cold).

The only negative is the check engine light comes on sometimes - Autozone checked the code/traced it to needing a new O2 sensor that needs to be replaced $25 part but I have not had the time because of work and school.

Car has been well taken care of. ideal for student or commuter car. Hard to find something this nice and reliable for the money I've invested (over $4K).

I have described tis car to best of my ability and knowledge however it is a used car and is sold "As Is" with no warranty implied or given. It has been a very reliable car for us (never left us stranded or not started) and we hope some other person who needs a reliable car can enjoy it.

Pick-up and delivery of the Mazda is buyers responsibility. I will work with buyer  to help deliver car to transporter if that is mode you use. We are located in Omaha Nebraska along the Missouri River and at the intersection of I-80 (East/West) and I-29 (North /South). # hours to KC, 7 hours to Chicago, 8 Hours to Denver.

I can drive/deliver the car for a pre-arranged fee and agreement. Contact me before bidding for this if interested in this option.

Car needs nothing but a new owner.
