I’ve been through 3 winters with this baby, and I’m ready to let her go. Name: Mike, I’m in cheektowaga 97 Neon, 90k miles, Auto Tranny, color is baby shit green Original purchase price was 1000$ Reason For selling: Have a new DD The good: It runs and drives, I fired it up an hour ago (6pm) and it turned right over and fired. The tranny shifted smooth when I put it away and the buyer can give it a test ride. Glass is good, interior is ok. It’s got newer tires (one is 100% cause i got a flat) It’s got heat It’s got new fluids (changed em at valvofuck nut when I could, oil is up soon though, will come with oil for buyer to use) It didn’t overheat standing still in my garage The e-brake actually works! Snow donuts!!! No CEL now, but it flickers once in a while for the rear O2 sensor, if you catch it at the right time, it will pass NYS emissions The bad: It comes with a custom super shitty exhaust It comes with a custom super shitty sound system (one speaker) It needs a head light bulb, i stole it and put it in my other neon LOL I don’t think the defroster works The horn doesn’t work It doesn’t have an EGR valve It doesn’t have a CAT It doesn’t have a downstream O2 sensor It needs a strut (blown) It leaks water sometimes in the driver side rear foot well It leaks oil here and there It looks like a train hit it, then a bigger train hit the original train which then fell back over on top of the car, pictures do not do it justice, it’s much uglier in person The weird: The car came with strut tower braces It has a weird oil/air separator Has CAI (i put a new filter on) Stuff I do not know about: I got the car with 70k miles, I have NO IDEA if the headgasket/timingbelt/Water pump was ever done. **You** will have to find a way to have it inspected. The car is sold as is, I do not promise that it will run forever, I can promise that I maintained it in the 3 winters that I had it, and I am super happy to answer any questions you may have. In the 3 winters I’ve had it, i gave it a tuneup and changed fluids, and tires. 800$ Any questions, PM me, if you know me, call me.

All it really needs is 5 gallons of gas and a match. Defroster might be nice on a winter car. ---

You say it looks like it got hit by a train, but the pictures don’t show any damage. Can you post some of of the car in it’s entirety, so people can see how bad it really is? ---

The problem is only one pictures shows any damage at all, and in that picture, it just looks like 2 scrapes on the front fender. Is there other damage? ---
