what did you guys pay for your protege? Did you get a good deal for the condition of your car or get burned?

I paid $650 for a black '91 LX last April, which I found was actually a good deal, considering my car had pretty much all the options, and the paint looks like new still after all this time.

I guess the car is worth around $1200-1400, so i'm pretty happy with it!

 

I bought my 91 LX on December 26, 2001 for $2,800 with 66,700 miles. The car hasn't let me down at all. In fact it only gets better each day!!!

bought my 92dx in june of 2002 for 3k, tranny died 2 months later, dents, scratches, no horn and more. My first car tho so i cant say i was ripped off.....even tho i sorta was. It was either the pro or a 94probe.......said no to the probe cause it was a ford, man a knew so lil back then

 

I paid $800 for my LX about 3 months ago, it was a hell of a deal. It has 153k on it right now, but it runs like a dream. I paid $2500 for my 323 about a year and a half ago, that was a rip and a half. Not that it's a bad car, just way way too much money. Neither have given me any problems yet *knocking on desk* aside from a dead battery.

I paid $1900 for my 91 DX w/ 130K in October 02. It seems a little high compared to some others but, she had great maintenance records and was in perfect shape with new tires, exhaust, and brakes.

 

I got mine 1992 lx in june 1997 for $3000 with 75k miles but it ahd blown trnas so i got trans for $250 and i got case of corona for me and mine friend so he could help me with trans.

 

I got a good deal on both of the Protege's I have bought. The first one was on January 19, 2000 (my 16th birthday) for $2,300 w/ 106,000 miles on it. It was a '93 DX in very good condition. I drove it to 155,000 and it never gave me any problems except for the AC. Then I bought my '93 LX for $2,900 w/ 85,000 miles last September. This was an even better deal because I feel like this is a much better car than the DX. This car is also in good condition.

 

I picked up my '94 LX a few months ago for $1300, but it needed about $600 for an ac comp, so $1900 initial outlay. This car was is otherwise great shape with 153K miles. We won't talk about the additional money I've spent since ....

 

Paid 4000 in july of 2001 with 70k. The car was in MINT condition i couldnt find a dent ,scratch, stain or problem with it . Car has never given me problems besides some exhaust issues ive put about 24000 on it since ..Jon 93 lx

 

fudge, I paid $6000 in August '99... 104k mi. It was from a Toyota dealer. Actually my parents bought it for me while I was out of town. When I drove it off the lot it barely responded, interestingly enough they gave me NGK blue wires, don't know what else they did but they fixed it.

I garaged it in 2000 and revived it in July 2002. I barely had an interest in cars back then but it's kind of grown now after seeing all of the cool things at Protegeclub. I don't really know crap about the actual maintenance of cars, but being on this site has taught me that it is not out of reach. I'm gonna take a car shop class at my community college

 

I paid 4200 for my 91 LX

I (well, my parents paid $3200 for my 93 DX with 95k on it. It was in really good shape (even better now!!)
