My First Car!
We went out shopping today and came back with a 2002 Mazda Protege ES.
The car's got 26,005(!) miles on it, 16" alloys, rear spoiler, power windows/brakes/steering/mirrors, keyless entry, fog lights, sunroof.
The engine is a 2.0L DOHC 16-Valve I-4, it's got a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Originally they wanted $12,000 for the car alone, before title and taxes. After a test drive and about 40 minutes of negotiating, we got the car for $11,000 including all fees. So the car basically cost me $10,289.
Very happy with the car. It handles and feels a lot better than a 2003 Civic and a 2001 Sentra that I drove. The only thing I'll be changing is the color of the car. Right now it's kinda beige/gold but I'll be repainting it to a shade of blue in the spring.
It's dark already, but I'll definately post the pictures tomorrow.
