Hello everyone,
I have decided to sell my Mazda Protege5, 2003 due to engine problems. Mechanic tells me it has spun a bearing (producing loud constant rod knock) and needs major engine work or a replacement engine. Pictures are below. Vehicle has 103,990 miles. The Mazda is otherwise in good shape and would make a solid car if you can drop a new engine in it (or rebuild the existing one). Asking $2500 or best offer. Vehicle currently sitting at the shop and while it does run, should not be driven due to the knocking. AC works, brakes work, current inspection (Texas). Fine car, but needs some engine love and I don't...
