2003 MSP for sale. $7500

[spyonu2007]

2003 Yellow Mazdaspeed Protege for sale. 18,500 miles. Crank walked on her, so it needs a shortblock, thrust bearing damaged... Block was eaten up a bit too.

Clean title, clean interior. Exterior has a couple blemishes here and there, all pictured. Nothing too terrible, but I injured my back and am not going to pay someone else to fix her. I would put the interior at a 10/10.. Not a smoker, never was, never will be. It looks like new inside.

Exterior has a couple of nicks and scrapes here and there, and one blemish about the size of my thumb, above the driverside tailight.

Email me direct at spyonu2007@gmail.com



Started to pull the motor, parts removed are in the trunk.. I got a quote from Mazda on a new shortblock for somewhere close to 1600bucks plus shipping.
No mods to speak of except the turbo timer, cobalt boost gage(autometer) and the hoaky a/f narrow band gage.

Price: $6000 Located in Peoria Illinois

I realize its worth more, but Im screwed for who knows how long. So..
Someone with the health/time/money should part it out. Im headed back to the couch. Later fellas.

only 18k miles and the motor was dead already....? ='(

 

[spyonu2007]

Im open to offers backed up with greenbacks.

May be cheaper to buy an engine from www.protegegarage.com and have it fixed.. then try to sell it again or CarMax it.

PS, why does it look so dusty under the hood on the engine bay? Did something get on it, or is it just dirty?

 

[spyonu2007]

My son rides his dirtbike in close proximity. All my cars need a bath.

 

[spyonu2007]

I was advised that since the car is broken, and there is that spot on the rear that Im pricing it too aggressively.

 

[spyonu2007]

Still available, not an overseas scam.

 

[spyonu2007]

existing engine is supposed to have pouter rods, forged pistons and a steel crank... not sure if any of it is salvageable

 

[spyonu2007]

Still here, taking offers.

I notice your thread title still says $7500... I can update that for you if you like.

Got an offer of 5k. Not letting it go for that price.
