Thanks guys, enjoying it so far. I am taking it in tomorrow for the day to get the alignment checked and have them look at the slight vibration. I really want some new tires but can't decide if it's worth it. They just put new Federal Super Steel S35 tires on but I think they are the cheapest...

Wow, back from the dead this thread is

Hey all, I've been lurking for a bit while trying to sell my car. I was forced to sell my 2000 Audi S4 because it was getting vandalized and was a pain to own in Boston. So, I flew down to Baltimore last weekend for this: 2002 Mazda Protege5 24,000 miles (not a typo) Auto (worst part but...

That makes it look so much better. May have to do that... Did you just mask up the tires real well or did you take them off?

Huh, so you guys think this rust is a big issue? I Am considering booking a flight, but I'm in Boston so Texas is out of the question. There is one in New Jersey for 8,900 but has 70k miles. That is about as far as I would drive from.

yeah, the rust will be taken care of soon. The wheels had just been brushed and he said those pictures are old and he is taking some more to show me the tires don't look like that. He also lowered the price to 6,800 so I'm in for sure as long as I sell my car tomorrow.

Thanks guys, I think I am going to book this flight and git er dunnn. I will be getting another set of wheels to put winters on anyway so I will have the crappy ones be winters and the new later style stock wheels be summers. And I will probably just have him leave the wheel well rust and...

Oh, and I don't want a MSP, I am getting this car replacing my Audi S4 so I am not even going to try to get anything "performance minded" because nothing will compare. I just want a reliable daily driver that will run forever.

Well, I am not really worried about those little cosmetic imperfections. Do you guys think this is a good deal at 6,900 as is? The closest I have found is a 70,xxx miles for 8,000 so I am pretty set on this one, should I not be?

Hey guys, So I finally found a black, standard, low miles MP5. It has 37,xxx miles and he is asking 6,900. Meticulously cared for by an older couple and all maintenance records included. 30k mile service just got done. Mechanically it is "excellent". Problems include corroding oil pan (he...

Thanks guys, I am really wondering more if these cars are reliable after this mileage and how many miles they usually run for if taken care of. I don't mind the little things that don't leave me stranded but I don't want this to be a project car or leave me sitting at home when I'm supposed to...

Haven't seen the car in person yet. http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/2256834648.html

Hey guys, I am looking to get a Protege 5 because they're reliable and I drive 60 miles a day to work. Should a 165k mile MP5 scare me? Just had the following work done: Alternator and Belts (that's all it says) Valve Cover Gasket Rear Brake Pads, Rotors, Calipers Has some rust on the wheel...

Looking at getting a 2002 MP5 with 64k miles from a dealer. Asking price is 6,400. I drove it before they did their "inspection" and they are replacing a bad wheel bearing, cracked windshield, radio had a loose connection, and battery needed to be jumped. It is a very small dealer and he said...
