Oh yeah and by the way, he already said he would sell it for $1,200 to me but I won’t because I didn’t get my questions answered so nice try.

Dude, what the hell is wrong with you. I answered your question right away by saying it was unknown if the stuff has been changed yet, so assume no it hasn’t.

If you also go on [neons.org](http://neons.org), you can see that everyone is posting in my thread that they want to buy the car, but they are too far away. You’re the only one who is shitting this stuff up

And they were promptly answered, but leave the drama at the door please. I’ve sold many cars here, and everyone has been very happy each time. In the future, please leave any “suck my dick” and other childish comments to PM.

Because of pricks like you who will spend hours kicking tires on a $1700 car just to decide not to buy it for some trivial reason (which probably boils down to being too poor).

Tell your buddy not to start shit about something he knows very little of.

I think there are enough of us here who have done business with Mark to not worry about a car he is selling. I’m sure it’s straight and is exactly as described. Granted, most of us know KBB is about the worst guide when it comes to pricing cars…

This has nothing to do with how much money I have, it has to do with the reality of the cars value with undocumented maintence.

My 2000 Forest Green Neon is cleaner, has less miles, new MLS HG, water-pump, timing belt and it’s not even worth that much more than Marks original asking price.

That guy loves starting shit lately huh?

It’s a low cost car…only an idiot would expect a brand new car for $1700?  
Fair price is that which the seller and the buyer agree upon. All other opinions are just that…opinions. The seller has good cred here and dramatics need not detract from the sale. Good luck to OP. 🙂

For the record, if I were in the market, I’d snap this up without any concerns about timing belt, water pump or anything else. Who cares when you can pick up a used engine for like $200 and swap it in 2-3hrs max. :lol: It’d probably never have any issues with the TB anyway.
