    Talking 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege (bone stock)

    Are you tired of driving a big vehicle with lots of torque? Well then do I have the car for you!

    2003.5 Mazda Protege "Mazdaspeed" edition
    2.0 turbocharged engine made by Callaway No, Seriously!
    5 speed manual transmission with LSD
    power windows/locks
    keyless entry fobs
    Racing Heart 17" wheels
    Racing Heart springs
    Tokico struts
    Racing Beat sway bars
    Racing Beat exhaust
    Kenwood speakers and subwoofer

    ^All parts listed were factory installed, not aftermarket

    I purchased the car from the original owner and have a folder of receipts about 2" thick that goes with it. Who takes a car to the dealer to replace a license plate light? The previous owner, that's who (and only $30 charged to do it. What a deal!). Within the last year the previous owner had the dealer install a new starter, alternator, battery, and motor mounts. The only thing that isn't stock is the radio. The previous owner replaced the dead Kenwood unit with a Pioneer that has bluetooth phone and audio capability. The only things I've done in the 1,000 miles I've had it is change the oil and install a new set of tires (Discount Tire with warranty).

    The bad:

    driver's seat has wear on the bolster from getting in and out
    back seat has a dime sized burn hole (strange because there is no smoke smell, ash tray is unmarked, and cigarette lighter looks unused. WTF?)
    fist sized dent in passenger rear door where some jerk-ass flung their door open with reckless abandon
    a few little dings and scratches all around from parking lot idiots
    10 year old tint job is starting to peel (not bad but you can hear the tint crinkle when rolling the windows down. It's only gonna get worse so it needs to be fixed)
    valve cover seeps oil (bought new Fel-pro gasket and will install this week)
    it got so hot here that the rear view mirror landed in my lap when making a right turn (again, will fix this week)

    The Facts:

    2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege
    107k miles
    not a spot of rust
    passed inspection on Monday
    clean title
    located in Midland Texas

    The price:

    $4000, or $5000 and you get a hearty handshake from yours truly. But wait, there's more! If you pay $5000 I'll give you all the aftermarket parts I've collected for it.

    Injen cold air intake
    AWR front motor mount
    Autometer C2 boost gauge
    Autometer dual gauge pod
    ETS side mount intercooler
    SLS Performance aluminum door lock bezel (+5 horsepower!)
    SLS Performance catless mid-pipe
    Corksport J pipe
    Corksport intercooler piping
    SplitSecond fuel and timing controller with R4 software and serial to USB adapter
    Weapon-R intercooler hard piping (use either the Corksport or this one and sell the other)

    This is the only pic I have because it's been raining like crazy for the past week. I'll get new pics tomorrow if it's sunny.

    All city driving: 27mpg
    All highway driving: 33mpg

    I usually average about 30 with a 50-50 split.
