I paid cash for it from a friend back in 2011 and it is already an old car being that it is 1998 Dodge Neon, yet it is very dependable, reliable, cheap to fix and the city taxes on it as well as even emission pricing and insurance costs. I have driven many many many miles on it taking my husband to work to far places from home on a daily basis, all of my doctors appointments, my autistic sons appointments for everything. I have had to repair very little considering how much I have driven it and how many miles I have put on it. When I have to repair it, it is usually cheap for the parts and for the mechanic. It really isn't too hard to fix. I like that it is made of metal, unlike the newer cars, thank goodness cause I was rear-ended 2 times in a 3 month period. There were no dents whatsoever on my car-yet the 2 people that hit the rear end of my car-their newer made vehicles were all smooshed in and I am sure it costs them a whole lot of money to repair their vehicle from their mistake. I am so glad that I have this lil dodge neon, and an older made car. The metal makes me feel safer and obviously, if I get rear-ended, it hasn't even hurt my car. The only thing I do not like about this car is it is so small. I prefer a larger, higher up off the ground vehicle. I have recently even drove it to a huge big move across the country, from Arizona to South Carolina, where I now live. It made it here with no problems. I would definitely recommend this lil car to a friend. The size is the Only thing I feel uncomfortable with, with this car.

My 1999 Dodge Neon is Forest Green in color, automatic transmission, 2.0 SOHC 4 cylinder engine, 2 door, aluminum alloy wheels. In dash CD player, 6 inch 3 way speakers in the door, 6 x9 3 way speakers in the rear deck, tweeters in the dash, 500 watt amp and 12 inch sub in the trunk. I keep the oil changed every 3000-5000 miles. I keep the air filter clean, change the plugs when needed, keep the brake pads in check. I wash the car and clean the interior. I use a vacuum on the carpet and armor all on the dash. Cosmetically and mechanically the car is very sound and looks good. The car is not a powerhouse but it can be upgraded extensively. It feels fine driving down the road and handles smoothly.

A dodge neon is a car that has good gas mileage. As long as you take care of it t, it will take care of you. For a for door four cylinder it has a bit of power. This vehicle also is very roomy. It fits two in the front and up to for regular size adults. The cars turn radius is good and as for the size it should not be a problem to find a parking spot. Another good quality is that it is easy to work on yourself. It has won a reward for the fastest four door sedan from 0 to 60 for the first 2 years of the new body style that started in 2000. The trunk space can fit 3 full suitcases and a few average size duffel bags.
