What to check on the Protege
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Protege for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Protege for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
