Used 2002 Mazda Protege5 for sale near Dallas, TX

To begin this review, you should know that I rated the facilities a 4-star because, in this time of COVID, I was unable to enter the main building. The lot is cramped with gorgeous, fairly-priced vehicles, plus a small building in the center. There was no room for me to park my own vehicle when visiting, so I parked in the cul-de-sac. Now, about Stan. From the Ukraine, Stan is a compassionate, thoughtful salesman who spent our time together masked (because of COVID) and LISTENING to me as I fumbled with what I was looking for. He asked pertinent questions, took the time to understand what I was seeking, and was as transparent with me about the quality of the vehicle I had come to test-drive as is possible. I pointed out scratches. He admitted that they were problematic. I asked him about the timing belt: had it been changed? He didn't know, and didn't invent a story. He didn't say "yes" or "no," he said the most honest thing a car salesman can say: "I don't know. But I will find out for you." And, sure enough, he did! We talked about the timing belt replacement (which HAD happened, and this saves me $1,000 right off the bat). We talked about the provenance of the vehicle, a wreck it had been in eight years ago, how clean and immaculate the car was, both inside and out. I thought that the car was overpriced a bit, and I asked Stan what he thought. He agreed that it could be a bit lower, and on my first visit to the lot, he informed me that his boss had lowered the price of the car by $500. Which was music to my ears. I test drove the car. It handled beautifully. Ice-cold A/C, no pulling to the left or right. This car had been in a wreck before, but other than the CARFAX report mentioning it, I would never have known. Stan gave me the keys and said "Take this to your mechanic," so I did. I sat at my own personal mechanic's office and waited for an hour while they went through the car, front to back, paying close attention to the mechanical aspects of the vehicle. They found a leaking power steering rack and pump. That's IT. "Lou," said the owner of the shop. "This is the best vehicle you've brought us, and I am of the strong opinion you should BUY THIS CAR IMMEDIATELY." I wasn't sure, given the cost of replacing the power steering rack and pump. I went back to Stan. He wasn't sure, he said, but he'd check with the boss. I offered $500 less than the vehicle was priced at, even AFTER a $500 drop! Stan stood up for me with his boss, got the boss to agree, and sold me the car. In conclusion, I have a fantastic vehicle, low miles for its age, mechanically sound (except for the rack and pump, which I will get fixed on my own dime), and Stan has a customer for life in me. I've been in sales for forty years, and Stan did everything right. He shared what he could do, told me honestly what he couldn't do and, not once, not EVER, did he give me a hard-sell. He listened to me, he met my needs and then exceeded them. Kudos to Stan and to Denver Auto Company for the best car-buying experience I have ever had. Thank you.

171000 miles and counting. I’m 6 ft 6 and fit fine. Ac is ice cold and the car is super dependable. What more do you want? Cool tach that is white and sporty looking. Get thumbs up on the road from the old timers who get it…

Had my 2024 Kia K5 serviced Zach took charge of all the work and did a fantastic job keeping me informed of what was taking place. I purchased my car there and will continue to work with Spradley Kia in the future. Great job service Department!

I have 3 P5's 2 '03's Silver & Yellow and 1'02Red. A 00 Protege, '93 Miata! And 01 civic to feel my age 58..ouch. I love love the P5. It has a sport feel yet has so much built into it...on certain trims you get abs, sunroof, and more. It has sleek lines, a zippy engine with excellent mpg, goes into corners and out with even more zip. Has a very attractive cluster dash with white displays and gauges that excite. It can easily be your family daily driver or zipping along on a hot date. I LOVE THE P5 AND ALL THE EARLY MADA'S. I had a lumpy and unreliable 89 Ford Taurus but when I met my Wife she was in a sexy 91 Protege and that was it...got rid of that ford ( found on road dead) and never turned back. TOO BAD Mazda only made this a 2 year production car. Very easy car on the budget, easy parts and easy fixes. You want to waste money on trendy overpriced Euro's feel free to get one of their bucket of bolts. I have owned several in the past, waste of $$$$ . Treat yourself to a P5 while some are still around.!!! ZOOM ZOOM!!
