Checked out the protege, and am still excited over the rareity of the 2.0 and the 5 speed in this area... However, it has scratches on the rear bumper (the very left side and the very right side), and chips on the hood, and a few on the drivers side (not to noticeable though on the drivers side, unless one looks very hard) suggesting that the driver that owned this was a tail gater... I didn't really look at the passengers side too well. That's got me dissapointed, but I was planning on purchasing a carbon fiber hood anyways... As for the bumper, the scratches could be buffable as well as the drivers side, and maybe I was thinking if I got the car, I'd repurchase another stock bumper... Well, my dad still wants to see it, so I'll show it to him, and see what he thinks, and go from there. His opinion may influence my decision on if I want this car or not... I will try and bargain a good few hundred off for the scratches though, before I turn it down... I haven't looked under the hood yet or in the interior or under the car...
