I just bought a new Mazda Protege, so I'm selling the old one. It's a 1992 5-speed 4-door sedan with 133,000 miles on the odometer. Mechanically it's in excellent shape. It starts, it stops, it drives down the freeway without wobbling from side to side. Engine uses insignificant quantities of oil, which is always a good sign in an older car. Very economical - I've been getting 34 mpg just driving around town and commuting to work. Previous owners put a lot of work into it - new alternator, new clutch, new brakes, and substantial front-end work. I've had it for a year, and have put in a new battery and a nice new radio/CD player. The body's in decent shape, although nobody would mistake it for a new car. Blue book value is $1400-$1575; I'm asking $1400, but could be talked down to $1200 fairly easily. The Mazda Protege (and its predecessor, the GLC) have a great reputation among folks who like their cars reliable, well-designed and affordable. (I'm now on my 4th). Let me know if you're interested.
