Wrecked (but Salvageable) 2000 Protege ES

[fourthmeal]

Hi all, a Drunk Driver hit this car on New Years Eve, '06. I do have the option of giving the car to the insurance company, but honestly, I think the car has some value left. I'm figuring that someone here will either have the time to part it out (not me, sorry bout that!), or buy it to extract all the good parts out of it. I figured I'd show it to you with the best pics I could grab before they stored it at the dealership.

The car is coated with lots of Zaino. Man, even in a junkyard the car shines. LOL!
It was a good car, and it wasn't with me very long. Wife drove it everyday, and it did pretty much everything well. The ES versions are pretty peppy with that larger motor, I've found. Certainly not a Speed 3, but the handling is very, very good. If it is not visible in the pics, the wheels are in pretty good shape, and have minor scrapes on the edges from being around for 6 years. The tires are virtually new Cooper Vipers. The whole interior is in great condition, and even after the wreck there seems a lot of valuable parts.

I'd like to sell the car as a whole, since I don't have the storage to part it out. Offers of any kind will be considered. I'd prefer pickup rather then delivery, and for reference, I live in Las Vegas, NV.

front grilles salvageable? upper and lower front grilles?

well, since I got the pics up, I'm sure you can tell the front grills are the last thing you can salvage from this sucker!

LOL!

I'm intending to sell this one whole.. as I mentioned above, I don't have the space to do the part-out thing.

 

[Tengo]

oh sorry.

I think the car has some value left, especially to the Mazda enthusiasts who might want some of the parts that come on an ES Protege from this vintage.

corrected my post, I appreciate the notice on that mistake! I'd love to part it out and profit from the effort, but I'd have to let the MS3 sit outside while the Protege was in the garage (one car garage, unfortunately.) The condo that I live at won't tolerate a wrecked car in the parking lot. I already checked! Sorry bout that.
