New Mazdaspeed Owner!

[RogerdodgerMSP]

Hey whatsup guys and gals ive recently purchased a mazdaspeed protege from a private party and was wondering if i got a good deal on it? ok so this is what i got. . .

2003 Mazdaspeed Protege
51,700 Original Miles
Mint condition interior as well as exterior, the car was always garage kept
Everything is bone stock, well stock to Mazdaspeed performance upgrades
it does need some new tires soon, but has stock racing hart rims
clean title and registration
no problems with motor whatsoever
So i got all this for the price of 5,000 cash


i want your opinions i wanna see if this was worth my money? although im in love with the car couldn't want anything better.

i will post up some pics soon, thanks!!!!


its production number is #161

Pics would help, but it sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Stock + Garage kept + low miles, is a win in my book.

 

[theEZV]

good deal. clean stockers with low miles are hard to find

 

[DarkAngel]

Yup and for that price as well. Good find! Sounds like a keeper.

 

[christiansMSP]

great find!!

 

[RogerdodgerMSP]

thanks guys, i will have some pics up after work lol

Good price considering the low mileage. Did you check the vehicle history report?

 

[RogerdodgerMSP]

yeah i did everything was in good standing no accidents whatsoever

 

[NocturnalSpeed]

Damn, if everything you say is true, that is a steal! Good find.

That's almost hard to believe, I guess this car wasn't listed online because I would have bought it if it was!

 

[RogerdodgerMSP]

pics are up! bump

 

[theEZV]

[RogerdodgerMSP]

Hood scoop's gotta go, but aside from that looks pretty good.

Probably just double-stick tape. Get a hair dryer (or just let it sit in the sun) and the glue should loosen up enough to pry it off. Then goo-gone for the residue?

yeah bro its a steal but the only thing wrong is that hood. try to buy on here from a member.

LMAO! yeah thats a first one there,
but umm im thinking of getting some tein s techs for now see how it looks
then some rims, mostly cosmetic stuff for now till i get the big bucks and probably get a bigger turbo, injen cai, fmic and whatnot but im not sure if it would be able to handle a bigger turbo without modifying the engine stuff such as pistons, cams, rods etc. thats in the near future tho hah i would need some help from you experts! (yes)

At very least you need to upgrade the rods & oil cooler. New pistons & oil pan/oil pickup are recommended as well. GT28rs or the GT3071 are the most commonly used turbo upgrades. GT28rs is good unless you're going for over 400hp.

There's lots of info around the forum on these things. (2thumbs)
