2003 Mazda Protege5 Base Hatchback 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Dayton, Ohio, United States
The car comes with a lot of extras, but I am willing to negotiate if you don't want certain things. This car has been a daily driver all its life, so it has normal signs of wear and tear. It will make a good, functional, and reliable daily driver for years to come. It is also a really fun car to drive and will offer plenty of enjoyment along with the practicability of a hatchback and great gas mileage.
The car has 131,xxx miles and runs perfect. I drove it out to California and back last year with zero issues and would do it again. It has a cold air intake, OBX racing header, Yakima 2 bike rack, short throw shifter, lowering springs, 17" Enkei wheels with Yokohama s-drive 215's (about 10,000 mostly highway miles on tires). It also includes the stock wheels with snow tires installed, one extra pirelli snow tire, and a mazdaspeed muffler (not installed because I do a lot of highway driving and didn't want the extra noise). I did the timing belt, water pump, and spark plugs 10k miles ago. Calipers/rotor/pads/front spindles replaced in the summer of 2011 (about 30k miles ago). New rear strut mounts installed last week. New passenger rear wheel hub/bearing installed today. This is an Ohio car that has been a year-round daily driver, so it does have normal Mazda fender rust issues and a other rust spots starting to form on the rockers and hatch. The rubber bushing on the passenger motor mound is cracking and will need to be replaced. Blue Book value in 'Fair' condition is $3750 and that is all stock no extras. |

Mazda Miata 25th anniversary display is roadster heaven on Earth
Thu, 17 Apr 2014As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata, Mazda has put together a rather large display at its New York Auto Show booth, showing off significant models from the diminutive roadsters history.
The display represents a healthy split of volume models, with cars 14, 15 and 17 sitting alongside cars 500,000 and 700,000. There are also more than a few concept cars in the offering, such as the Super20 Concept we drove a few years back, as well as older offerings, like the Club Racer concept from the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the M-Speedster from the 1995 Chicago show and the M Coupe from the 1996 New York Auto Show.
We've put together a gallery of images of the historical Miata display, which you can view above. Take a look and then let us know which of Mazda's awesome roadsters is your favorite.
Dealers think Mazda's new Mexico plant will increase Mazda3 sales by 20%
Mon, 27 Jan 2014Mazda3 sales in the US were down about 15 percent last year to a total of 104,713 units. According to a report from Automotive News, though, the slowdown in sales has been due more to production constraints than demand.
Good news for Mazda dealers, then, that a new plant in Salamanca, Mexico has just come online. Tom Carey, chairman of Mazda's national dealer council, told AN, "We're going to be in good shape because of that Mexico inventory." If estimates prove accurate, sales of the Mazda3 will increase by about 20 percent when the new plant begins production this month.
If those lofty projections come to pass, Mazda will reportedly be on track to exceed 300,000 total sales in the US in 2014, which would represent the brand's highest figures since its 375,000-unit peak in 1994. The brand hopes to sell more than 400,000 vehicles in the US by 2016, and with well-received products like the latest 3 and Mazda6 sedan, such expectations seem quite possible.
