1999 Mazda Protege DX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 1999 Protege dx, a week ago I
got my title transfered. A few days before the transfer the car ran great, the rear doors rain insulation kept on coming off, but that isn't too much of a problem. I am a beginning driver and lost quite a bit of money on the car for just driving 2 days with it.
Everything just went down with the car:
the brakes are going, the motors shot,
the headlights are going, and muffler sounds like its coming off.
Now I need a new motor.
I really need help on where I could find one and how much it will cost.
This car is messed up now, it's very slow. would a Mazda 6 motor fit?
To suggest what motor it needs.
