1991 Protege LX in Chicagoland

[TimBeam]

I need to get rid of my Protege ASAP unfortunately.

It gave me a nice run for about a year and a half but I need some rent money and space in my driveway.

Pros: Brand new battery. Brand new timing belt (just needs to be put on). Brand new windshielf. Shocks are about a year old, in very good shape.

Cons: Possibly needs a new altenator. Needs new brakes all around, needs new hood, grill, and hood latch.

The hood is a little dinged up and doesnt completely close. It clicks halfway and I have it held down with a bungee chord for safety. This was from an accident a while back. I had plans to get a new one and fix everything up so I can continue to keep driving it myself but that is no longer in the cards for me with my financial status.

Ill sell for 300. I have been starting it everyday and it starts up fine everytime (even when i forget to start it for a few days). I have also been driving it every once in a while and it seems to be driving and running just fine.

PM for more details

Well all of last year I drove it back and forth between Southern Illinois and Chicago (about a 6 hour drive) and always felt comfortable doing so.

Also, it just got an oil change and new transmission fluid...and clutch is about a year old and working well.

One problem I have also noticed, and it could be because its sitting on an angle in my driveway is the front passenger side brake is locking up. After driving it for a bit and pumping the brake, it comes loose and its all good, and when you replace the brakes, that should be fixed. Just thought you should know though


The engine bay picture is before the new battery and new battery cables/clamps
