Going . . . going . . .

Yup folks, time to grow up and move on from my little car, manual tranny fascination. I will be selling my car, and just wanted to put it out to any of you here who may know of someone looking for a P5. Specifics:

- 03.5 Vivid Yellow P5
- 5 spd
- Leather/moonroof/ABS/side airbag package
- Polished alloy wheels
- Just under 12,000 miles
- Looking to get $13,850

I will also have many unistalled mods (yup, new-in-box) that can be negotiated into the deal, or will be sold separately. Racing Harts, MSP axle-back, DaveB rings and Xelderex shorty already on the car are extra, or will be removed and sold separately.

Thanks for everything all, and let me know if you may have anyone who is interested.

I'd be WAY out of place if I didn't ask:

"How much for the Racing Harts?!" << seriously.....

Yah, good luck with that Paul. I'm sure anyone on here can vouch for how good shape that Protege5 is in.

Hope the new year helps you

but really paul, why are you selling the sweet sweet ride?

 

[Dimitrios]

Ken, Rob's going to be selling his (I think - I've been PMing him off and on). But I'd rather help out Paul locally if possible.

jk13...I didn't see your post!! Wait, now I did...let me know, I can do $375.

Post some pics yo!

 

[Captain KRM P5]

why are you getting rid of it again?

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]

its time to grow up and buy an enzo

Right on the money again Matt; plenty of room in the engine compartment for the three kids, lol. Nah, I think its more like time to buy a Harley.

I kind of touched upon it earlier, Ken, about how I was a little disappointed with the performance of the car and didn't have time to mod it to where I wanted.

But the thing that finally put me over the top was filling up my wife's daily driver, POS SUV. As I stood there filling the bottomless gas tank, I realized that this 12 mpg pig was costing me well over $200/month in fill-ups alone. Compounded by the note and the insurance on the thing, it was costing me over $800/month for her to drive this truck.

Her car is driven daily, and is the main family hauler. My P5 sees use 3-4 times a week; otherwise it sits in the garage. I just came to realize that I had my priorities all backwards. Since my wife drives much more than I do, she really should have the more economical car. She no longer wants to drive a manual tranny, so swapping cars is not an option.

So the game plan is we get rid of both cars (as I will not drive a 12 mpg box), and she gets a sedan that pulls better mpg, and I will be getting a family hauler, probably a Honda Odyssey (and yes it will get a "The Who" sticker).

As far as pics of my car, I've included a few taken this afternoon. Sorry its so filthy; I haven't really had any time to wash it. Like I said, its going to go back to stock completely. And oh yeah, I totally forgot about the JDM tails. The odometer as of today is 11,194 miles.

I'm still going through all of the stuff that is sitting in the garage new-in-box. So far the tally is Injen CAI with splash shield, B&M short shifter w/ Kartboy bushings and bronzoil bushings, Tokiko HP shocks, iON sport springs, Wagner SS header, AWR front and rear motor mounts, 1sty grounding kit, Mazda auto-dimming mirror, and Mazda alarm kit; I think that may cover it, but I'll double check to be sure.

At this point I will not be selling parts until I have the car sold. I'd hate to have to start collecting parts again if I can't sell the car, lol.

I'll keep you guys up to date with what's going on.

[Captain KRM P5]

you know what I'm sayin'

not a clue actually

 

[Aricjm15]

more Japan less domestic

 

[Dimitrios]

It'd be USDM - "D" doesn't necessarily mean US or Japan or Europe. The first term or letter designates the proper

Besides, Pauls tails are EDM, IIRC.
