The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

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.

4 automakers agree to $553M settlement of Takata airbag claims

Thu, May 18 2017

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Four automakers agreed to a $553 million settlement to address class-action economic loss claims covering owners of nearly 16 million vehicles with potentially defective Takata airbag inflators, according to court documents filed on Thursday. Toyota's share of the settlement costs is $278.5 million, followed by BMW at $131 million, Mazda at $76 million and Subaru at $68 million. According to a press release from Plaintiffs' Committee for Takata Airbag Product Liability Litigation, the funds for the settlement are aimed at getting more cars with faulty airbags fixed. At the time of writing, Toyota had the greatest recall completion percentage of 31.89 percent followed by Subaru with 31.37 percent. Mazda has completed repairs on 18.16 percent of affected cars, and BMW brings up the rear with 16.48 percent completion. Some settlement funds will go to an outreach campaign to increase awareness, while other funds will be used to reimburse people for any costs accrued to get their cars fixed. These costs can include rental cars, child care, lost wages, or any other reasonable costs associated with bringing in a vehicle for repairs. Furthermore, a customer support program will be funded with settlement money to handle any additional repairs or adjustments that could become necessary in the 75,000 miles following the airbag replacement. Lawsuits against Honda, Ford and Nissan have not been settled, lawyers said. Takata inflators, which can explode with excessive force and unleash metal shrapnel inside cars and trucks, are blamed for at least 16 deaths and more than 180 injuries worldwide. The safety defect has prompted recalls worldwide of about 100 million inflators by more than a dozen major automakers.

Xcar tries to figure out what makes the Miata so great

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Over the past 25 years and 3 model generations, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has shown that you don't have to be the best to be a massive success. The little, Japanese roadster has never been the absolute peak of automotive performance, but it's precise handling, good reliability and frugal running costs have helped make it a star. Autoblog recently tried to give you the experience of driving one on video, and now Xcar Films has made its own in an attempt to show what makes this droptop an icon.
As Xcar puts it, the Miata isn't the world's best sports car, but it is the world's favorite. When they were originally designing the roadster, Mazda's engineers took everything that made British droptops from the '60s great, and junked all of the stuff that made them a terror to own. The result was a car that would start up everyday with no fuss and get drivers wherever they needed to go with a huge grin on their face.
The fourth-generation Miata is imminently on the way for its September 3 unveiling, and the very early rumors indicate that Mazda doesn't plan to rock the boat too much with the latest one. It supposedly rides on a longer wheelbase and wider track but with the weight trimmed by over 200 pounds. Check out Xcar's video for a primer on MX-5 history and why the automotive world loves this little roadster.

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
