I have been looking for one of these for a long time. Finally found one but it is a good distance away. The only time I have ever been in one was when they were bran new on the lot. I thought it was a nice car at the time and the engine had just the right sound, but I never drove it. So I a have few questions I hope you can help me with.
I understand this is a limited edition protege. Most parts should be easy to come by, but not so sure about the MP3 specific parts. Should I be concerned about that? For instance if I ever needed to replace the struts, or control arms. Would these parts be hard or expensive to come by?
My other concern is the tires and wheels. I live in houston with some pretty bad streets. Is the suspension so stiff that it will not be a good car here?
He is asking $3000. It has 138,000 miles. The body is in good shape except for the hood which has a small dent in the corner. It does not have the original sound system. It seems fair enough to me.
My current car is a 1990 626 which I have been driving for 20 years, so i need a little change. Mechanically the car is perfect with 315,000 miles. The only thing wrong with it is the paint and body ( which is why I want to get something else ). I hope the MP3 would also be a car that I can get high miles out of.
