#41 of 265 Hi boggse by morphx22 Jun 24, 2003 (7:04 am)
Hi, thanks for the tips. Why do I need tape around the screwdriver, is it to get the sidings out and not scratch the car?   I think I am going to use the stock speakers right now, im used to a 1985 oldsmobile speakers, so I think anything better will do, even if its stock right now I am pretty sure my receiver will fit; its a JVC KDSH99 mp3 player thingie and it fit in the oldsmobile. Now to order the kit and wiring harness, which is about 17 bucks. Not that bad. My local audio car place wanted to charge 60 for labor and 90!! for the parts. I dont think i will be going there for it; ill just give it a shot on my own   Ill tell ya how it turns out, thanks!   Oh yeah, where can I buy those puller things to uninstall it? I found a webpage where I can make it out of hangers, but I think i would rather have real stuff
#42 of 265 Pullers. by mazdafun Jun 24, 2003 (8:03 am)
They cost $3-5 at any auto parts store. I got a pair from Wal-Mart.
#43 of 265 Tape by boggse Jun 24, 2003 (8:07 am)
The tape around the screwdriver is to keep it from scratching the dash when you are taking the 2 small strips of plastic off to expose where the pullers go in.   PS - Be sure to e-mail me. I have some other information for you.

2003 Protege ES with Automatic Tran., auto Dimm rear view mirror, side airbags and abs.   MSRP 18,185 +600 "dealer prep". Paid 14,100 which includes a 2500 incentive, 500 college graduate rebate.   I saw similar ES with moonroof and 6 cd, auto tran. + a few other features for 14,885 +ttl from a dealer in MD. www.fritzmall.com My local dealer said he would match it.
#46 of 265 Great googlymoogly! by mazdafun Jun 24, 2003 (11:19 am)
Sorry, couldn't resist.   Good deal. Great car! Welcome.
#47 of 265 Just bought Protege 2002 LX by timrick8 Jun 26, 2003 (10:22 am)
ex-rental from Hert Car Sales   27K miles, standard LX configuration. NO ABS or side airbag   Final cash price 10330 including a 4 year 48K extneded warranty, and tax, registration, etc.
#48 of 265 How's its shape? by mazdafun Jun 26, 2003 (11:02 am)
I'm curious. Rental fleets usually don't keep cars in service that long. Decent price with that warranty. AT, right?
#49 of 265 Yes, AT by timrick8 Jun 26, 2003 (9:39 pm)
The condition is very good, new tires and front break pad. The Car price (w/o extended warranty, tax, registration, etc) itself is $8595.   I think Hertz has a policy of ridding their cars once they reach 25K. Most cars I saw on the lot are between 24-27k. Some are as low as 20K. My 2002 came to service in 11/01 according to their record, and was destined for sale in 05/03.   They have Protege and 626; and there is little price difference bwteen them. I was surprised to see many Japanese cars in their lots.   You can check their inventories online at http://www.hertzcarsales.com/findcar/index.html
#50 of 265 Rental Japanese cars. by mazdafun Jun 27, 2003 (4:35 am)
I guess they figured out the lower maintenance cost was worth getting them. Plus, I prefer them when I rent, so it works for me too.
