Used Mazda Protege for sale in Wilmington, DE

Had a very easy process purchasing the exact SUV I had been looking for. I love my Audi Q7! Thank you CarNation motors for your professionalism. Great job Seki, Mikey and Dennis! I’ll be back to buy more cars on the future.

I bought a second-hand Protege from the dealer in 2004. It was a 2003 model, leased by a company for short drives around the city, then returned for resale a year later. It had about 12,000 kms on it and was exactly the colour I was hoping for (sand/champagne). I loved it. It's 18 years later and I still love it. My car's in excellent condition, with low mileage (less than 100,000 kms) and no rust, thanks to walking to work and parking underground all these years. Virtually every time I take it in for servicing, the mechanic asks if I'm interested in selling it. My latest mechanic said he's on his fourth Protege and doesn't care that they have none of today's bells and whistles. It's just a really good little car. In my experience, there are a few drawbacks to the interior. One is that you can't readily reach the passenger-side, outer-mirror adjustment knob. It's on the passenger's door, so you have to adjust, sit back and check, adjust, sit back and check. Of course, that's only a pain if you have multiple drivers. The other thing I dislike is the low seating. It's a sport suspension so you "feel" the road, which is all the more reason I'd prefer to have higher, better-padded seats. I bought seat covers and have a cushion under both front seat covers. Allows us to sit higher in the vehicle and to feel less of the road. My previous vehicles were all Fords so I was used to navigating using the crease down the hood. With my Protege, there is no crease so that took some getting used to. Of course, I'm perfectly comfortable navigating now. I know exactly where the car is on the road or in a tight parking spot. Over all, it's been a great car and I'll miss it when the time comes to change. I admit that I wish it had the built-in GPS, back-up camera, USB port, etc. of new vehicles but I've been using models that plug into the cigarette lighter for many years and they work perfectly fine. If you can find a Protege that's been taken care of, I recommend buying it.

I had a 2000 Protege ES with a 5 speed. Drove this car like i was mad at it everyday and it never once left me stranded. 5th hear isn't really an overdrive and at 80mph the engine is spinning at 4000rpms. That's was the only downside for me. More then enough room in the car for four people as long as they are not linebackers, front seats were very comfortable. Wish I still had the car today, it had 198K on it when I finally sold it.

I came in to supreme automotive and I was greeted by Jason and David. They showed me a beautiful 2011 Infiniti G 25X. The process was seamless, and I’m very happy with a vehicle I’m very happy with the service and most of all I’m very happy I did business here. Thank you again guys

This car is a vary good second car for me it's got good tires and sunroof the air works great and runs really good on gas.

This car can go for another 5 more years, very reliable. I hope Mazda will sell protégé again. I paid $20,000 (new car) in year 2003, almost fully loaded, so far, only changed alternator, oil pan, oxygen sensor, and regular maintenance, almost everything is original parts. the mileage is almost 30,000km, no burning oil.

The salesman was very nice and helpful on the information of the different cars that I was interested in. It took very little time to pick the car I wanted, and I got through all the paperwork quickly and had the sale completed in less than 2 hours.

I owned and ES from new for 15 years and loved this car. Just sold it 11/17 with only 58k miles on it. My wife and I were sad to see it go. Need higher seating was the only reason to part with it.

I've had this car for 6 months now. Nothing too bad, just the normal upkeep required for the car of its age.

I came in looking for a vehicle, preferrably SUV. I walked into Deskins and was greeted with several people! A young man by the name of Jared Hollins approached me and asked if I had been helped. I explained no, that i was looking to possible purchase a SUV. He quickly started gathering my information and getting all the need's and want's to the vehicle i was interested in. He finally found the perfect SUV. It had everything i needed/wanted within a resonable price range for my husband and i. He was wonderful to work with and made the car buying process a breeze for my husband and i! 10/10 recommend!

I loved the car. It was fun to drive, loved the look, the comfort, reliability... I truly had fun driving and taking care of the car. I highly recommend this car!

My experience at Major World was exceptional! My salesperson Martin was knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind. I told him my budget and he immediately brought me to a section where dozens of vehicles were in my price range. He pointed out the ones he thought were the best value and told me why. He never tried to get me to consider something out of my price range. The whole staff was friendly and very helpful. In a couple of short hours they had me insured, new plates and driving home in a beautiful silver 2012 Chevy Malibu. Thank you Martin and the wonderful staff of Major World. Sincerely, Anthony Ferrara

It's a good vehicle, and will last a long time if well maintained. can go south quickly if not taken care of.

I've purchased a number of cars from George at East Coast Auto Source over the years. I would recommend the following if you're looking at buying a salvage/repairable vehicle: 1) Choose your Auto Body mechanic FIRST prior to going to purchase a vehicle that is salvage/repairable and pay him for his time even if you DON"T BUY. Paying him $100.00 for his time might save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Take him with you to look at the vehicle you are interest in. A mechanic can identify hidden damage and cost that you as a buyer can not identify. 2) Get an estimate on parts from George (or any other salvage yard) as this is added cost to what you are actually paying for the vehicle. 3) Get a time frame on repairs from your mechanic: example: is his shop out 3 months on repairs? six months on repairs? 4) Add the cost of the vehicle, parts, repairs and time to fix and compare this amount of money and time to the same model vehicle that a dealership or private owner has for sale and analyze if the repair of the salvage vehicle is worth it....sometimes it is: sometimes it's not. I've never had any trouble getting titles, bill of sale, or vehicles shipped upon purchase, etc from George. As indicated, have some knowledge of salvage repairable vehicles and get estimates up front and your repair experience will be much better.

We bought a 96 LX for 12,000 dollars and kept it for 12 years and put 162,000 miles on it and never spent a dime over basic maintenance. That engine was as smooth at 162K as it was at 162 miles. With the 5-speed manual, we averaged in the low 40's on long trips and averaged mid 30's in city driving. It had a large trunk and a big backseat. It was the 3rd of 5 Mazda's that we have owned. I currently drive a 07 Mazda3 that is also a great car!

I bought a Chevrolet over the phone and made a 8 hour drive to pick it up. Everything was better than expected, still under warranty and in perfect condition. This is the third car from Great Lakes and there will be more

I loved it, it was fun to drive except in rush hour cause of it being a manual transmission other then that it was awesome cause it had the get up and go that my previous car did not have.

Was very nice and to work with. Able to get a deal on a nice car. Very reasonable priced. Definitely not your average car lot!

This car is perfect in every way. Simple design, easy to fix, very reliable, and great fuel economy. Only downside is the fact that parts may take a few days to be obtained.

I reached out to find out about the price of a Ferrari they had listed, I was not a fan of the color they had but they helped me find another Ferrari in less than a day and were extremely helpful from the start from finding the car to getting it shipped afterwards

I owned the es 2.0 from 175,000 km to 210,000, only problems were rusty exhaust elbow which I had to replace, and EGR valve causing low idle. I cleaned it out with some carbon cleaner and a screwdriver and it ran like new! I think it will have lots of life left if maintained with care.

Had service work done, a factory recall, got the job done, gave me up front prices on other work. Gave me a price quote for other work with no pressure.

Excellent Gas MPG, Fog Lights, Sunroof, it a Mazda! Interior good everything is well laid out also back seat folds down / More cargo space than you think, FROM JAPAN! It has a spoiler how cool is that!

I would highly recommend this dealership. Erik was a great salesman to deal with. He made the process seamless and easy for me. I got a really great deal on an amazing car. I would absolutely drive the 8 hours to buy a car from Weelborg again. I was dreading buying a new car because I had a poor experience last time at another dealership, but the experience I had at Weelborg Ford surpassed my expectations and I am extremely pleased. Thanks again!

I’m 21 and I got my Mazda in 2016 and it had about 65k miles on it when I got it and now has 126k and it’s had a few issues that would have occurred naturally but I’ll admit I’ve put a lot of wear on this car plus been in multiple accidents where I was rear-ended so it does need quite a few more expensive replacements but those are due to specific issues cents that have damaged my car but other than those this car is super reliable and it’s the perfect size for me honestly and it’s been an amazing first car and I wish I didn’t have to replace it but the repairs are too expensive, I would even get a newer model if they hadnt been discontinued. If you find yourself in a place where you’re considering purchasing a Mazda protege I recommend it highly. It’ll always start in the cold and will just keep going. My check engine light has been on for over a year, and I haven’t had an oil change in 20k miles and it needs tie rods and an axel and the suspension is shot and it has frame damage. And it just keeps going. I love this car.

CHECKED MY NEW CAR OUT ONLINE, AND BOUFHT IT THE SAME DAY BY PHONE. THEIR SITE HAS MANY PHOTOS PER CAR. MY CHOICE WAS THE RIGHT BRAND, LOW MILEAGE FOR CAR AGE, SUPER CLEAN AND A PRICE MORE COMPETITIVE THAN THE SAME MODEL SOMEWHERE ELSE WITH HIGHER MILEAGE. YOU WILL NOT FIND A MORE FRIENDLY OR PROFESSIONAL DEALER❗️

I bought this car in December of 1998 with only 7 miles on it. I owned it for 13 years until I was rear ended in a car accident the other day and was planning on keeping it for at least a few more years. I had originally planned on getting an Evo2 body kit for it to make it a little more sporty looking for my tastes but never got to. This car handles great and the fuel mileage is amazing! The interior is comfortable and roomy and overall well laid out. Overall this is a excellent little car. If you're looking for an extremely fast car.. this isn't for you, but if you're looking for a reliable car with great handling and great gas mileage (especially in these times) then this is a good one to consider. I'm seriously considering getting another to replace the one that was just wrecked.

great people Carlos was great. thanks guys. good with cars. works great with people. Carlos was helpful and answered every thing I needed. keep up the great work guys.

This was a great car. We were looking for a reliable car for our son before he heads out to college.
