Let me start off by saying this car is not in perfect condition. I can only assume because you are looking at a 2002 vehicle, you should know that already. However, this car is in fantastic condition for a Model year 2002. This car spent every year except for 2014 & 2015 in North Carolina near Charlotte, in case you didn't know, that means it was inspected for emissions and functionality every year. This also means that the car is essentially rust free only having seen one winter in Michigan. You will notice this Protege5 does not have the same rear quarter panel rust that most Michigan cars do.
