I have been looking for a 1st gen Protege now for over a month, and having a difficult time finding what I want. Ok, so my specifications are pretty narrow, but still, there just don't seem to be many out there.

First off, I am in the San Francisco Bay Area. I want an LX 5-speed, and not in the bright red color. I'd prefer a color that isn't black, white or gray, but I'd take it if I had to.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I could find some good candidates? If nothing else, I'll probably end up doing a road trip to LA, where there seem to be a lot more possibilities.

Thanks,

Dean

 

i'm assuming you've been looking on www.autotrader.com ?? if not, def check em out...i've been thinkin of replacing my LX with another 5sp; and lately all i've seen are auto's around LA/San Diego...
if you want to 'look' down here, go to autotrader and do a search using an LA zipcode, like 91388(van nuys)...

 

My current search scope includes in addition to Auto Trader:

http://www.cars.com/
http://www.craigslist.com/
http://cars.insidebayarea.com/
http://autos.yahoo.com/
http://www.sfgate.com/classifieds/

When I've been searching in SoCal, I've used 90210, since I know roughly where that is and it seems to be pretty central.

all i can say is keep on lookin; i've seen plenty 5sp's in the past - WHEN i wasn't tryin to find another!!
