I just bought a brand-new used car!!!
A 2000 Mazda Protege, an automatic, less than 24,000 miles on it, 28 MPG city/33 MPG country, standard features, for only $6,795!!! It's like the deal of the century!!!

And I needed it BADLY. I was without a car for months, but now I have one. And she's a beaut!!!

DAMN, I can't believe how cheap it was!!! And it gets great gas mileage too!!!

1. I'm still driving
my 1990 Protege'.

74K miles on it and I still get 39-40 mpg. It's a standard transmission (5-speed) and I absolutely love it. It's 14 years old and the Wisiconsin winters are starting to take their toll on it (ball joints rusted out two weeks ago = $275 repair job) but it's absolutely the best car I've ever owned.

4. Congrats ...

You've dodged 4 years of depreciation. Japanese cars hold up.
