Looking for purchasing advice
 

Anybody know of any good deals on 2001+ Proteges?

This car is for my girl, I drive a 1.8T GTI personally. I've done a bit of research on the protege. She and I are both sold and think it's great! Decent power, great feel and handling and great sporty looks.

But where are good places to go buy a used one? Our local dealers only have 2000 and older. We're looking for a 2.0 ES with a 5 speed and since they didn't have those till 2001, that's the first year that we're looking at. We're hoping to find for around 10-11, think it's possible? Or are we better just looking at a different car since the price range is rather fixed?

Thanks for the help!

I've found several in my area in that price range. Generally private party sellers will be cheaper. Good choice, and good luck!

Have you tried www.carsoup.com
it might help you situation

Carmax is also another great place to buy a Protege at. They offer no haggle prices which is always nice.

i've got my 2001 es with an auto for 10.5k at a dealer. With 20k miles on it, we got him to drop 2.5k on the car :D .
