Ok im asking this because i know that if i went to a mazda forum id get nothing but good comments, and i wanna know the truth .
---------------------------
Ok I have 94 automatic civic dx, 174k miles, paint is hella cheap (pressure washing causes damage), no rims, engine is stock, has one minor axle problem. And im not sure i really wanna take the time/money to invest into it and risk it getting it jacked later (my dads shitty probe got jacked yesterday
).
---------------------------
So..anyways:
I was thinking of selling it or putting it as a downpayment for a 2001 Mazda Protege. One of my coworkers has one and overall it looks to be a real nice car. He got it for 20k, but said they go for about 17k these days new. I was wondering if you guys had any feedback on the mazda protege and if i should do the trade in? Thanks

 

Um, why not get another civic?

 

You can buy a brand new fully loaded Civic LX for around $15K-$16k. Hell, you can buy a Civic DX with all the LX standards except cruise for $14K new right now.

As far as trading it in on a 2001, you will always do better selling it yourself then trading it in.

 

I don't like that car . get a civic it will never let you down no matter what !
