i drove to school this morning, it was really cold. All i have to say is that rattles were everywhere. Then i got out of the car and looked at the rust spots on the wheel well and near the protege5 on the hatch ...this car makes me sad sometimes, really sad.

I need m-mounts too, will probably have to go OEM, or ebay's OEM-Like...

Car has done pretty well over the past week with the ice/snow and low temps, only didn't want to start twice, but eventually did start both times.

Forgot to post a couple of weekends ago, changed oil, pulled wheels took them to get re-balanced, rotated them when I brought them back, replaced a burned out headlight bulb and cleaned out the trunk...

Still need to fix the leaking drivers-side transmission seal and at the same time figure out what the notched roaring sound is, if its the 1/2 shaft, its not a year old yet so hopefully it had a warranty, then the front needs aligned again, chip in the new windshield needs filled too, always something.

got temp tags so i can drive it again down to Carmax to see what they'll offer me

What do you think they will give you?

And is this for the white P5?

 

[ScratchNSniff]

How much you trying to get...

 

[mx-p5]

nah, my blue one

and i'm just lookin to get 6k, but we'll see what carmax offers. If they offer me anything over $5k, i'm taking it

Wife's car isn't for sale

 

[Matt V]

I thought you had sold it awhile ago to get the Miata?

 

[mx-p5]

that was the plan, but, never sold. . . . so it's been a driveway paperweight for the last few months

 

[Matt V]

Damn. Let us know how it goes, do you plan on getting anything at the lot? That usually helps when factoring in trade-in price?

 

[dxaveP5]

anyone know if anyones gota a Passenger side bumper side marker laying around?
the one installed on my pass. side is a driver side one so right now ive got 2 driver side markers installed and it has finally began to annoy the crap outta me

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Which one is it, cause maybe we can trade...I am in the same boat...I forget how they are supposed to look though, so you have a pic of a proper one and I will check to see which one of mine is upside down...

Wife's car isn't for sale

For reference there is an 03 P5 in my town for sale. Dealer's price on the window is $5995 but I do not know mileage.

Should you get 5k for the P5 let me know what dealer......they are telling me my 04 MPV ES with 78k is worth just under that mark (which is also KBB value).

*edit....here's the link, it has 102K http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=273147374&dealer_id=100028482&car_year=2003&rdm=1265204312340&lastStartYear=1981&model=PROTE5&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=2002&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=used&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=y&make=MAZDA&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=18045&advanced=&end_year=2003&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=1&standard=false

 

[mx-p5]

appreciate it

but for ref. here is Carmax is selling one for. . .without leather or sunroof

i've got 68K on the odometer, but with the rebuilt motor. And if they offer me 5-6K and still can sell it for 9-10k, that's still 3-4k in profits for them
