My rims (the originals) are extremely chipped and Also the rear bumper is extremely chipped from a fender bender so I'm going to have to have that painted (and I would rather put a new body kit on it anyway) and on the topic of paint apparently the paint on the roof (?) is turning white? lol I should really post pictures. That said the dude had anger problems so apparently every time he got mad he punched the car so there are small fist sized dents all over the car.and it turns out the car is rusting on the bottom, and the front bumper / fender already has a hole in it from the rust. So the guy we got the car from was on his way to jail (for speeding tickets ironically lol) so we got the car at a crazy cheap price from his dad lol. So now I have this car that according to a friend of mine is extremely valuable and I should 'never sell because it will be worth a lot of money some day.' But it has a ton of issues and I'm going to list them. Thinking about getting a second job this summer just to get this guy up and running. So now I'm in a predicament.I have a very beat up protege and I (making $10 an hour at Best Buy) don't necessarily have the funds to restore it. I mean he has been promising me this car since I was a little kid and for him to change his mind a week before my b-day was pretty hurtful, but in his words 'I reserve the right to change my mind about my car whenever I feel like it.' (We're not rich we work really hard for the things we have and I'm not spoiled I just for the past 10 years have been lead to believe I was going to get the car). That said, my dad changed his mind a week before my birthday and quite literally said F*** you which I'm not going to lie really hurt me and we aren't talking anymore because of this.

I'm 21 and 3 years ago for my graduation I got a blue 2001 Mazdaspeed Protege MP3 the deal was that I would drive the car for a few years until I'm more mature and for my 21st birthday (which is in two weeks) my dad was supposed to give me his 97 BMW 5 series that has a 2000 dollar sound system a body kit, and is in perfect condition (He has a newer BMW so he was supposed to just drive that). Is this car worth putting thousands of dollars into to keep it? Hey so this is my first post on this website, and I just want to get some info on this car, I guess I'll give some backstory.
