    Just picked this one up tonight. It's a 91 Mazda Protege LX 5-spd w/121k miles. It has A/C, PW, PDL, PS, Sunroof, new tires, 14" Mazda wheels, optional 1.8L Mazda Miata engine.

    Timing belt, ball-joints, clutch/tranny, alternator, brakes, tires were all done at 100k miles. The only problem is the motor only runs on 3 cylinders. Cylinder #3 has very low compression.

    I might be working in downtown Reading so that also made me want a beater even more. I just need to get the motor running on all 4 cylinders and it should be good to go.
