Hi there.
Next week i'm planning to get myself a 2003 Mazda Protege 5, its going to be a manual. Though ive been driving for a while, this would be my first car. After having a chance to sit in one and see it up close (not drive yet), and by the information here i think this will be the perfect car for me. And going by the material on here, im definitely going to have some fun with it, especially later on when i get into some basic addons and tweaks
On to my question, other than some of the general used car bying tips, is there anything P5 specific i should keep an eye out on when getting this car, to make sure it is a good buy? Particular things to look out for?
Im definitely going to take it to a mechanic as part of the purchase to get it checked out, but if there is anything that i can spot off the showroom, that would be ideal.
Thanks for any input!
