Hello guys new here, I am replacing my wifes wrecked cobalt with a 2003 protege LX. I looked at it this morning, has 98k miles 1 owner. Took the car to a local firestone and had them look the car over and they said the car was physically solid with really it only needing a sway bar link and both control arm bushings need to be replaced. Trans and motor is in good shape. I looks to have a little bit of rust starting on the front of each rear wheel at the very edge of the rocker which I was actually just going to cut out sand down and repaint. but the body is in physically good shape.
