PENDING TO DSTMSP03
That being said, I am looking to pick up an older RX7. I do not particularly want to sell my P5 but I do not need three cars to myself. I figured I would place is for sale here before attemping other means. The car is a 2002 Mazda Protege5 with 71,098 miles on it (VIN: JM1BJ246221567615). As far as I know I am the second owner and I purchased it in June of 2005 with approximately 34,000 miles.
The Good Stuff:
There is no descernable rust on this car. It spent most of its time in VA where they do not salt the roads in winter. There are currently no CEL's and have no been any since early this year (dead IAT sensor). The paint is still very bright and it was just professionally detailed about a month ago. Oh yeah, the mods...

The not-so-good Stuff:
As with any car that is going on 9 years old (built Dec. '01) the paint is not completely perfect. There are several rock chips, pits on the front from daily driving, scuffs and small (very) dings on the doors from parking lots and some scratches on the rear bumper cover from loading things into the hatch. There is also a series of scratched on the rear passenger's side roof from the previous owner. There are also a couple of small burn marks from the previous owner (smoker, apparently) but the smoke smell is long gone. There are also two small marks on the rear bumper from a very small rear-end collision. The marks are from the license plate bolts from the other driver. Confirmed no damage underneath, I've just never had the bumper cover fixed (see below)
The Bad Stuff:
As with any modified car there are a number of issues. The biggest I consider to be the oil consumption. During cooler whether this car can go through about a quart of oil in two weeks but this consumption is reduced greatly in warmer weather. Also, I have made a number of what may be considered "permanent" modifications such as removing cruise control and cutting the radiator support for the FMIC pipes. I also do not have just about any of the stock parts though I do have a lot of spare parts lying around. As mentioned above, there is also one single gouge in the rear bumper cover from loading a mini fridge several years ago. Also, I was in a front-end collision back in June 2007. The front bumper cover, hood, radiator support and headlights were all replaced. All-in-all everything has re-aligned very nicely and I even had some custom work done to the bumper cover. However, I feel this is important information to include.
