1998 Dodge Neon Highline 4 Dr Sedan review from North America
"If I could do it all over, it wouldn't be with a NEON!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My air conditioner went at 76,000 miles.
I have had it repaired at the dealer twice and it still does not work correctly.
Wind constantly flows through the window when driving, even when they are closed really tight.
Something else seems to go wrong with the car every-time I take it to the dealership for regular maintenance.
General comments?
I am not rich so I have had to buy cars that were in my price range.
I always pay cash for cars because I do not believe in car payments.
I owned a hyundai elantra previously that never left me stranded. Note: I never took the car to the dealer just Merchants tires for service.
I only paid $3,900 in cash for my neon. Next time I will get something else. The repair cost of the air conditioner is getting out of this world. I have since slapped a for sale sign in my back passenger window.
