+1 to Codex. I'm dealing with a belt squeal intermittently as well. However mine is on the PS and AC side. Glad it's not the water pump.

The other side of that, I really don't have the money for those modifications, as I'm a full time student. Eventually though I may consider some. Looking forward to the beach trip this weekend! Meeting some friends of mine for a drive on the outerbanks, NC Sunday. First long trip since I've had it!

I'm 19, but I don't see any sense to change stuff that the manufacture built, especially when this is my DD to work and school. Why those modifications? You'd only gain maybe 20? HP with all of those combined. I understand that's a lot but what's the point of spending money modifying a perfectly...

Side moldings? Your not talking about the skirts are you? I think they look real nice on it. That's rough on the holes. Mine was a local NC car and I dipped under it and looked to see if there was any major rust. To my delight there was none. Motor mount on mine is shot. (Timing belt side...

I'm leaving this car stock... plus what the previous owner did which is all cosmetic (different rims, window tint, rewired fog lamps). This is my DD and I'm not about to screw something up just yet ;) Except for exhaust. Might go with a catback just because of the sound it gives. looks wise -...

That's great man! They are truly fun to drive and so far I can't complain about handling in wet or dry conditions. When other people are starting to slip, my car sticks on the road. I'm actually taking a weekend break and taking it for it's first long trip down to the beach this weekend for my...

Thanks drgn! I had to go through a construction area where they are putting new water mains in near my house... and there was water that was full of red clay. Now my car is red with orange spots about a foot up the door panels and rims and wheel wells... time for a quick bath this weekend...

Hey man, You still have the fogs? fit P5? Would you be willing to sell just one of them? Let me know! shipping 27603. pic of fogs?

I bought the car. Started a thread on lounge just to see what people think. Here's a picture if you check back.

Hey everyone, I did started another thread, but I figured I should introduce myself here. My name's Martin. I was born and live in Raleigh NC for all 19 years of my life so far. I started my search for a car starting in July, I guess. I had my heart set on a Mazda3 hatch, but soon realized...

Do you have a DUI or something? 20 speeding tickets perhaps? LOL That's just scamming.

Well, I got the car! Washed, clayed (only a few spots needed it), polished a few scratches, and waxed. MAN OH MAN does this car look nice. I've gotten several compliments from friends and what not already. Drives like a dream! The paint except for the front bumper looks nice and clean, so I'm...

That's not worth the risk as a college student ... ;)

I probably would find another one if this ever gets totaled. I'm hoping to never be in a wreck with her. But if it does happen and it's just body damage, I'll salvage title her and rebuild it to a condition where it's at least track worthy :) Tear my freaking heart out but it happens. I haven't...

Thanks! Previous owner was very upfront about everything he did to the car and has most records that he'll pass on to me. Which is one reason why I decided on this car. Timing belt has not been done, but he did replace the valve gasket and spark plugs last year due to a small leak near the...

First P5 and I'm loving it... love it with me? haha I've never been so excited in my life! This will be my first car that I purchase on my own. I've been driving my Dad's old 1989 nissan d21 for about 3 years now 343K and counting on the odo... things built like an ox. But it's finally time...

the negotiator, aka my mother, will come with me. she is crazy at getting good deals..again the most I'd personally pay for that car is 4800...anymore, it's not worth buying.

Love that show. I just hope I'm not a chumlee and buy a POS... lol I'll be straight up with the guy. 900$ in parts to get this car to where it will be good to run for another few years....cost over 2000$ to have it done.

Yeah, KBB is crap sometimes though. I wouldn't mind paying 6000 cash for a protege5 that is top condition, but this one just isn't that. I just want to see his face when I immediately take off 1800$ of his tag...(drinks) anyone want to come? haha Thanks all! Again, this will be my first car and...

Much appreciated, I understand that they are maintenance/wear and tear. But 6000$ is both way above nada and edmounds. Cousin's a dealer and he said he wouldn't offer anything above 4600-4800. I guess I'll offer 4300 and go from there...updates to come! It's a nice little car, fun to drive...
