$1,700 · Manual Transmission 2003 Mazda Protege5

Great, reliable, fuel-efficient manual transmission P5 for sale. This was our family's secondary vehicle, and now we find we just need one, so it's up for grabs. It's a great car to pack the whole crew into, has a surprising amount of cargo capacity with the hatchback and fold-down seats, and as a bonus the manual transmission is fun to drive. Battery was new last summer, tires are about a year and half old and still have lots of life. This car has had meticulous servicing with regular oil changes and tune-ups, and maintenance performed whenever necessary. The only notable issue with the vehicle is cosmetic: the clearcoat was damaged by tree sap several years ago, and has visible spots where the paint below was exposed. That, coupled with a few dents as are to be expected with a vehicle of this age, means the car doesn't look absolutely immaculate. If however your requirements are for a practical, reliable, gas-efficient vehicle at an affordable price, this is the one for you.
