Mazda Protege5 2002.5
Hi to all. Been in love with the Protege5 since it came out, but because of my financial problems, never bought it. Since then everyone of my friends new I wanted that vehicle. At October 1 of my friends that also wanted the protege5, bought it, wining the "who will be the first of having it". It was a 03 black mica, with leather seats, abs brakes, spare tire sub, with the bumper step, oh men, like I wanted to be the mine. But was I that choose it for him. So the mistake was the I drove his pro5 more than him, and that was the point in which I desperate wnated one.
A month later I did it. A 02.5 red Pro5. It was poorly maintain. But for the price I pay, it was good. Where I live it cost nearly the 10 thousands dollars. It had a broke fog light (which I want it), Progress suspension at front. Had all endlinks broke, 2 engine mounts broke, the oem intake hose is broken. Some inside palstics where off, didn't have the front lower grill. Both side mirrors were different, specially the right one, it is from a Protege sedan. Well in overall it nearly was a mess. But thank to you all, I learned many things, And got ideas to make mine look kewl like yours.

Yep, my friend pay 9,000 +, I only pay 7,300, that's on dealers. In the streets, theya are about 8,000
 
Wish I got mine in that price. In Puerto Rico all cars are expensive even old ones. The Pro5, because was limited in production and years, is an expensive car here, even I can't find parts in junk yards.
 
Just stay tuned here to the FS section. People always selling stock and aftermarket parts. Get a paypal acct and go to moddin/fixin. Cool score for your situation with supply of vehicles. My thing is, how much off pavement driving is necessary down there? Guessing something like this would be really crazy expensive...........

My lack of pavement alternative vehicle.
 
yeah, been in tha marketplace many times, but until now I got account at the forum. Paypal, over 10 years have one. My other car was an 87 accord, and believe me, 5 years ago i paid for it 2,000.
Got the opportunity to take a pic now of the car, and that's how it is now.
Inmediate future mods includes: oem chrome side markers housing, oem bumper step, oem chrome liftgate garnish assembly, on its way the j-spec "sport 20 Familia" and black mate paint to the rear balance.
Future mods: Are many
