2001 Mazda Protege Es 2.0 on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
2001 Mazda Protege with 137,419 miles.
Silver paint is faded in some areas. The trim package is ES 2.0. The car has power windows, locks, rear defrost, aluminum wheels, mazda floor mats, CD player, etc. The car has a MANUAL transmission - which I love, but it's not for everyone. AC works wonderfully well. Ice cold! Generally, the car is very clean. Oil and filter were changed about 350 miles ago. It runs well, and it gets pretty good mpg. The car has signs of wear/age too, though; for instance: the paint is faded in some areas, the pull handle for trunk (next to driver's seat) doesn't work (but the key opens the trunk just fine), there are some scratches from vandalism (car was keyed) on both sides which you can see in the photos, the remote door locks work everywhere but the driver's door (you must use key to unlock driver's door), etc. Highlights: 1. Car just passed smog yesterday. Good for two years! 2. Registration was just renewed yesterday, and tags are good through September 2015. 3. Clean title, no accidents. 4. Inexpensive car to drive, insure, etc. It's not the fanciest car, but comfortable + reliable. I am trying to sell the car soon. I looked at comparable cars on Craigslist, and I am pricing my car below almost all of them. Please only serious buyers as I have a limited amount of time to sell the car. Thank you for looking at my post. |

Mazda goes on engineer hiring binge as recovery picks up speed
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Japan's larger automakers - companies like Toyota, Honda and Nissan - have tremendous engineering talent at their disposal. That's largely because, selling as many cars as they do, they've got more revenues to tap into. Logic might dictate, then, that smaller automakers like Mazda, which no longer has the deep pockets afforded to it by its former partnership with Ford, might have less of a budget and workforce for engineering. But Mazda has been raking in record profits, and it plans on cashing those revenues in by hiring a substantial new pool of engineers.
According to Automotive News, Mazda is preparing to hire as many as 185 new engineers over the next two years - almost four times as many as the 50 engineers it previously targeted. Many of those engineers will be put to work developing the second-generation, Skyactiv 2 technologies that are on the drawing board while the first round of Skyactiv features are still being rolled out.
The boost in recruitment is enabled by a positive fiscal year that ended last March, marking the first profits Mazda had logged in four years. Sources anticipate that the fiscal year culminating at the end of this month will mark the company's most profitable yet, netting over a billion dollars to eclipse the fiscal year that ended in 2008 when it recorded $872.5 million in profits.
Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
Mazda struggles to meet demand on rising sales
Mon, 23 Sep 2013
For Mazda there's good and not-so-good news on the heels of strong US sales in 2012: demand is high - especially for the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - but supply is low, TheDetroitBureau.com reports. That's partly because all Mazda production happens in Japan, since it ended its alliance with Ford and pulled out of a joint venture with the blue oval building cars in suburban Detroit last year.
In 2012, Mazda sales here jumped 26.4 percent, but 2013 sales through August have just been keeping pace with the overall US auto industry, increasing at a rate of 6.8 percent. Mazda North American Operations director of marketing and communications Jeremy Barnes says that sales have slowed because the company is facing challenges delivering products here.
