    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    Fly in, drive home?:) Probably a nice drive once you get through KS and MO. Thanks for the affirmation on the price, I'm getting some good interest from the autotrader ad, so it shouldn't be around too long.

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    Like I said before, it's family stuff. We've decided that we would like my wife to be able to stay home with our two year old, and I'm selling the P5 and replacing it with a $3-4k beater. The remainder will go into savings. I'm an engineering student with 1.5 years left in school, so we need...

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    Thanks for the advice, you do realize you got a hell of a deal, right? To be honest I don't expect to get $11k, that's why it's OBO. Price your car for more than you want for it for negotiating room, that's how the game is played. Nobody pays asking price. The first P5 I drove was a 2002...

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    Again, thank you for essentially calling me a liar. If I had wasted the time of everyone whom looks at this thread by quoting verbatim the entire KBB site, perhaps we could have avoided this argument? I listed a KBB value, one of several. Whether or not you feel it is valid is irrelevant, it...

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    You're joking, right? Someone comes into my thread in the for sale section (not the general forum) and starts posting unsolicited and incorrect advice, essentially accusing me of lying within my post. He then continues his immature attacks, after I state that I have no interest in what he has...

    Man, get a f-ing life. Glad to see you have plenty of time on your hands. Too bad there's no moderating on un-solicited commentary within for sale threads.

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    You don't listen well, do you? First of all, I don't care what you think. This is a classifieds listing. Second, a car is worth what people are willing to pay for it, and P5s are going for more than private party value. I listed the KBB value as reference, as it's in the right range of what...

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    Let's not grant you the title of nobility just yet. Misleading potential buyers? Feel free to punch the number into KBB yourself, retail is about $11,500. Sure private party is less than that, good luck actually finding a P5 for that. The fact of the matter is, a car is worth what they're...

    2002 Protege5 5 speed

    Wow, thanks for your help!(pissed) Feel free to look at cars.com, most P5s similar to mine are actually priced higher than the KBB value, at least in my area. You're probably the guy that makes smart comments at the bar to keep your buddy from getting the girl, right? If you don't have a...

    Should I still be in love?!?

    It's funny, but with all the different car BBSs that I have posted on, this question has always come up. My last car was a BMW 540, so I was on bimmerforums all the time. On there it was, "My 525/535/540 etc isn't fast enough, should I save for a turbo or SC kit, or just buy an M5?"...

    So what does a normal vs. bad CV joint sound like?

    Sounds exactly like a CV. Might as well do them both while you're under there. Sometimes you can also feel it when you rev up the engine, then quickly let off of the gas, there will be a bit of a clunk. Often times they're sold as an entire unit, i.e. both cvs and a half shaft already...

    Stock rubber really does suck...

    Any one of us could make a long list of cars that are better at everything than the Crossfire. Every review I have read stated that the ride was too rough to be a good cruiser, but it's numb steering and suspension design keep it from being a track champ. So it's ok at everything, but doesn't...
