I don’t have any of the A/C parts anymore, I junked the condenser because it leaked, and I sold the compressor on [neons.org](http://neons.org).

I picked up my new winter car, so I would like to move this car within the next week or so. Dropping the price to **$1700 or best offer** :tup:

This car has hot heat, working cruise control, and good snow tires. That’s the perfect formula for bad ass winter car!

Damn…what a deal.

I am not sure on that one. It has had new brake lines, accessory belts, wires, plugs, brakes, and a slew of other things, but I do not know if the timing belt is original or not.

When the waterpump/timing belt/HG were replaced is important information for a 1g Neon with over 100,000. 😉

I JUST replaced all those on mine and I don’t wanna do it again anytime soon. :tantrum:

Unknown, but there are no problems with them currently. It’s an easy job though, I can do a timing belt / head gasket / water pump in about 3 - 4 hours from start to finish, so if the buyer wants this job done, I would be more than glad to do it (for the cost of course). I don’t mind side work 🙂

But those are the most important factors for a Neon with over 100k. :naughty: Is the previous owner on here?

Front end shot is in post 25, I can take a photo of the interior and the engine bay tomorrow. The engine bay looks stock, other than the cold air intake instead of the normal air box. The interior is a 9 - 9.5 out of 10. It’s pretty much perfect everywhere inside, I don’t even think there are any rips, tears, or stains.

I’ve bought 10 other neons without worrying about these, so I wouldn’t say it is the most important factors for a neon over 100k. Like I said, I would just do them if you were concerned, it’s a 3 - 4 hours job. Am I concerned or was I the entire time I owned the car? Not at all.

The previous owner is on here, but it was just a dealer flipping the car. The original/previous owner as stated in the first post was a school teacher in Rochester, who is not on here.

Nope, it does not come with the Kosei K1 wheels, it comes with steelies and snow tires.

I previously owned the car and no it was not beaten on or abused, its a damn neon not a Ferrari. stop bashing his thread, the guy who owns this car goes through neons like i go through woman, so he knows his stuff.

Its a great CLEAN car and well worth the money, if u want a reliable DD with a good maintenance history buy this car, if not and all you have is a grand b/c your poor go on craigslist and haggle someone else.

that being said GLWS.

Stop being a prick and answer the damn questions then? Go on [Neons.org](http://Neons.org) and everyone will tell you the HG/Timing-belt/Waterpump are the most important things that need to be replaced on these. I know more about Neons than you faggot which is why I’m asking those questions that no one wants to answer.

I don’t give a fuck how many Neons he’s owned, I want to know when and if the important maintence was done so I don’t have to do that shit again.

So suck my dick and next time don’t open your mouth about cars you don’t know shit about 🙂
