First of all let me introduce myself, My name is Dustin and im 15 years old turning 16 in march and i just recently (about two weeks ago) bought a 1991 Protege LX and i have a few questions that im hoping migh get answered.
Okay, lets start.
How long do mazda Proteges usualy run before heeps of problems start occuring?
The car has 233k miles, about 230k miles were put on by the cars first owner and he was a buisness man and drove about alteast 90% of the miles on highways and the other 3 were put on buy a 17 year old girl who bought the car and ended up buying a brand new car so had no more use for it, but im still kinda worried about having such a high amount of miles. I dont know anything about Mazdas but i saw a deal and thought i'd take it and hope for the best.
The windows are very slow when you try to roll them up and i was wondering what i could do to fix this or atleast make them go a little bit faster.
I like the car and it runs great but ive never really seen a car with such high miles that acualy runs.
The blue book was like $1200 for the car and i paid $550 for it so i figured i got a reasonably good deal, it had a new radiator put in right before the 2nd owner bought it, and like i said atleast 200K+ of the miles are highway.
It needs a muffler and possibly shocks so should i just re sell it or will it run long enough to be worth the money?
Thanks much for any advice!
