you are correct on the pricing.
it is a good daily driver, never had any problems getting anywhere ever.
they have a few common problems, but if you really are buying it solely for the purpose of daily driving, and you are leaving it stock, i doubt you’ll run into anything major.
only thing i have to say, and dont take this the wrong way… but, why would you put a neon away as a project and have a wrx as your regular car?
it seems to me that you would spend a substantial amount of money to make your “race” car as fast as your daily driver.
if you put similar money and parts into the wrx project you would be way ahead of any stock srt setup.
all that being said… feel free to give me a call if you want to meet up and take mine for a test drive. its pretty much stock so you can get a pretty good idea about how one will drive.
neon would be just a toy… (pretty much like a kid and a gokart) lol
and wrx would have just the basic bolt on’s, Intake, exhaust, maybe front mount… but thats it nothing major
