- 2002 Protege5
Hi guys, i've been a VW guy for a long time, but i absolutely love the styling of the Protege5. I've found, what seems to be, a pretty decent deal on craigslist. It's a 2002 with 116,000 miles. The seller is the original owner, and he has a stack of maintenance records from over the years. Here is the breakdown of his ad. He's asking for 5,000, but tells me there is a little wiggle room on the price. Does this seem like an ok price for what it is? I don't know much about Japanese cars.
* 116.6K miles
* New timing belt, drive belts, water pump, thermostat, and rear brake pads (installed 3/5/14, less than 100 miles on these)
* Passed CA smog check a couple of days ago, 3/10/14
* Manual 5-speed transmission
* 4-wheel anti-lock (ABS) disc brakes
* Power steering, power brakes
* Dual front airbags + side airbags
* Cold A/C
* Power windows/locks (rear passenger side power lock doesn't work)
* Alloy wheels with locks
* Upgraded Alpine stereo with XM radio, AM/FM/CD, and iPod integration
* Power sunroof (slide works, tilt button is broken)
* Tinted windows
* Fog lights
* Clean title, never wrecked
The pictures show it is in pretty good shape, only a few minor dings, and a small scratch on the front bumper on the passenger side. I'd like to make him an offer this weekend, but any input from people more knowledgeable on these cars would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any input or suggestions.
