What I refer to are auctions such as these:

Advertised as a 1998/99/00 protege 1.8:

2 auctions advertised as hubcaps for various years of the protege, including 1998:

Those of us versed at all in Mazdas should immediately be aware that the photo of the engine is an underhood shot of a 1.8 Miata. And anyone who has ever owned my generation of protege knows that those hubcaps at least do not encompass the '98 prot., if not other years.

lol..anyone else want to add to this thread? I know I'm surely not the only one who's seen these misleading auctions.

(Oh! And before anyone says "wrong forum"--I only use searching on a 98 protege as an example because it's my car lol..)

 

this sounds like one of those hunts for bad ebay auctions....this could make a fun game

 

ummmm how about this?

Too much time on your hands...lol

 

I especially like the link to "select and click on picture" when there is only one.
If you looked at the bottom of the page under their other used cars available, it's full of used Jeeps (Heaps.) Do ya' think they are really very motivated to sell a used Mazda?
I worked for a Jeep dealer for 5 yrs (truly not my cup of tea) and I can tell you, those types are not interested in selling small used Japanese econoboxes except to get it off their lot and fill their pockets (or recoup a loss for the trade in.)

 

i wanna start a "worst e-bay auction" contest or somethin
