There’s one up the road from me with 80k miles on it and it’s only like 4000 bucks but I’m between this and an 06 Mazda touring hatchback with 93k miles hard choice
It's not a bad little car. The Dodge/Plymouth Neon first started production on November 10, 1993 as the 1995 model. The first generation lasted from November 1993 to August 1999. Then the second generation started in September 1999 and lasted until September 2005. On June 29, 2001, the last Plymouth version of the Neon rolled off the assembly line and was also the end of Plymouth. In 2003, the headlamps and grill was redesigned and lasted until the Dodge Neon ended production on September 23, 2005. The Dodge Neon was later replaced in 2006 for the 2007 Dodge Caliber.
Have one. Just the SX though. Not a bad little car, rides well for what it is. My only real complaint is the lack of balance in the engine. It's vibrates while sitting at a light. Apparently because it was such a cheap car, Chrysler/Dodge never bothered to spend a little extra for a well balanced 4 cylinder.
Its ur motor mounts I would say going bad ive got N 05 sxt and it vibrates and now the transmisson is slipping like shit its only got 154k and it needs a nee wheel bearing
Funny Story About My 05 Special Edition😂Bought mine because it was only $500 so couldn’t pass it up! I Own a 18 Ford Fusion Platinum, 16 Explorer Sport & 09 BMW 535i.. The Neon(Deon) Is The Only One That Hasn’t Been In Shop!🤦🏽♂️😂.. So I decided to fix her up & Now It’s basically an Automatic R/T(PT Cruiser 2.4 Swap, Dual Exhaust, SRT4 Rear Bumper, Rubber Molding Around Doors, Diffuser, Lip Spoiler, Red Metallic with Black Wrapped Roof, Chrysler Neon Euro Front End With Functional Scoop, Projector Head & Taillights, Fogs All LED, 15 Dodge Dart GT Steering Wheel & Wheels, 20% Tint, K&N, Rear Discs, Red Calipers, KSport Kontrol Pro Coilovers, Front & Rear Stabilizer Bars, Apple Car Play Tesla Screen, PT Cruisers Front Leather & Reupholstered Back seats.. Subtle R/T Badges.. I Think that’s it but My Point Was I Didn’t Expect To Love That Car Like I Do! Only Tuned To 207 tho until I actually swap a manual and LSD.
I now have about 103,000 miles on it and the damn head gasket blew. So, I had the head fixed, new timing belt, water pump, and radiator replaced. Anyways, a month later all of the sudden there was a loud ticking sound from the engine (a valve), took back to the mechanic and had the head sent out again and replaced 1 valve. The cars been running fine now but I still worry about her because my mechanic really believes it's a piston ring but I, and my new mechanic, believe that's probably not true because everybody knows the odds of a problem within the block are slim to none before any head goes out on most cars. Well, I can't get rid of her now I'll never get back the money I put in it. Enjoy your neons.
Wait, what? 2.0 liter dual overhead cam? Looks like a 2.0 liter single overhead camshaft. Good cars. Love da Neons. Have three myself. The video wasn't much of a review. You didn't really talk about mileage, handling, roadhead.
I have a 2005 and I'm lucky to have a clean one like yours. However, I am just now at 99,000 miles and starting to have problems. You might want to do what I am and sell her while she's looking good because I guarantee your "Dodge" is going to start having issues.
Mike B. Nah, as long as you replace timing belt and water pump at 100K and keep up on maintenance it'll keep on going. In fact the Neon in this video just had all that done.
If it was an R/T like mine these use to destroy hondas back in the day, the R/T motors were better then the bases, R/T would spank civic si's daily check the numbers out on them.
Neons are shit cars. I've had countless repairs on a '05 Neon I bought that had 90,000 miles. It now has 133,000 miles on it, and I've replaced just about everything:. Blown head gasket, brakes jammed, alternator replaced, buyer beware!
worst cars ever produced! do not buy! they don't last at all... my gf has one blew a head gasket at 100k. I had a 99 civic that went 400k with no problems at all.. Mopar sucks
civics have a very good reputation. Dodge Neons are considered shit. With a turbo they may be fast, but still absolute shit. I own one and take EXTREMELY good care of it. STILL A PIECE OF SHIT!
That has nothing to do with it lasting long. Do you often go five feet in the air in your car? Does anyone do that? Most people definitely don't even drift or go five feet in the air when driving.
I'm on my 3rd Neon. Just replaced my 2000 that has 205k miles and still running strong. My first one still ran at 190k when I sold it. They've been great cars from my experience.
Fantastic little cars, mine had 572,000 miles in the clock when the motor let loose.
Ethan Tucker Damn!
Nice..im going to purchase one this weekend and the miles are at 223000..i was wondering how long they lasted

@@reidheine8838 which one did you end up getting? I’m picking a car by this summer
@@reidheine8838 I got mine for 10000
I want one of these little neons
With a manual tranny
I had a 95 a while back and omg super reliable and strong 😀

My 2004 just hit 40,000 miles. Still a baby, plan on driving her till she kicks the bucket 🪣

The ones with manual trans are super fun

I love the dodge neon
I had a Geo Metro that was the same way. Power windows ion the front and manual windows in the rear. What do you expect for a $300 car though?
Wait, what? 2.0 liter dual overhead cam?
Looks like a 2.0 liter single overhead camshaft.
Good cars. Love da Neons. Have three myself.
The video wasn't much of a review. You didn't really talk about mileage, handling, roadhead.
nobody is getting roadhead in a Neon......lol
My bad about the DOHC comment
wranglersnmt You get road head in a Neon. They give it or they walk! Lol
sohc anything second generation that are neon except 2.4 are all sohc
I hate the lifter sounds they make
@@biofall38 it's the loud ass injectors
Cool Cars!!! Excellent engine!
Just bought a 2004 neon 98,800 miles on it going for reliability
I have a 2005 and I'm lucky to have a clean one like yours. However, I am just now at 99,000 miles and starting to have problems. You might want to do what I am and sell her while she's looking good because I guarantee your "Dodge" is going to start having issues.

Nah, as long as you replace timing belt and water pump at 100K and keep up on maintenance it'll keep on going. In fact the Neon in this video just had all that done.
+Mike B. Yea, just about every car, as long as you take care of them, will run forever. I have a 04 neon, and it's been going strong for 185,000
Watch out for that tranny slip mines slipping at 154k ive seen countless neons that do the same thing around that mileage give or take
I have a 2004 yellow neon. mine has a sunroof.
would this be a good first car? looking at the srt's but they're costly where i'm at.
+Greezy
Good little cars, just make sure the timing belt has been replaced.
alright, and is there a way to make it like or as powerful as the srt? if i do get one i'm going to want power eventually.
even with an automatic it's more than enough power for a first car. Especially if you live in europe you will outrun 99% of the diesels.
Don’t buy it, they foul spark plugs often and blow head gaskets I went through 3 in 70,000 miles. These engines run hot
Holding on to the van for a bit, gonna throw a little money at it.
Someone is selling this vehicle online for $1,600 and it has 110,000 miles on it. Would it be worth getting?
Yes if they’ve done the timing belt.
It’s a nice car 🚗 still mine I got it 500 dollars at low millage still 84,000., the owner just kept it the garage always.
2004 i have the same one
The SXTs are sohc not dohc....
"Lil Racer?" Come on now. Nice little car, and very clean, but seriously, wtf?
Agreed!
If it was an R/T like mine these use to destroy hondas back in the day, the R/T motors were better then the bases, R/T would spank civic si's daily check the numbers out on them.
y aknow what they say ......after 20 years, it stops getting hate & somehow becomes "kinda cool"
This video is from when the car was 10 years old
Has any one build one or modified one ??
Neons are such a good cars but the automatics are slow but reliable
those rocks and shit give me AMSR vibes...lol
I wish dodge would have designed different style of headlights.
Ugliest headlights ever made
dudelivestrong srt took care of that when they designed there’s 😂
does it run like a tractor, and smoke like a chimney like most of the older neons I have known? lol
Neons are shit cars. I've had countless repairs on a '05 Neon I bought that had 90,000 miles. It now has 133,000 miles on it, and I've replaced just about everything:. Blown head gasket, brakes jammed, alternator replaced, buyer beware!
it's a sohc not a dohc man
stop stepping in those rocks
Where is is he supposed to step tf?💀
dab dab
Lol I have this same car same color...
Why rev it on a cold start it ain’t even yours
It wasn’t cold, had just made a 50 mile drive.
wranglersnmt temp gauge must be broken then
thats a Chrysler neon, not a Dodge
Dodge is a division of Chrysler, it is in fact a Dodge Neon lol
Thats clearly a dodge tho look at the steering wheel
worst cars ever produced!
do not buy!
they don't last at all...
my gf has one blew a head gasket at 100k.
I had a 99 civic that went 400k with no problems at all..
Mopar sucks
9x better than a civic you idiot
civics have a very good reputation. Dodge Neons are considered shit. With a turbo they may be fast, but still absolute shit. I own one and take EXTREMELY good care of it. STILL A PIECE OF SHIT!
Niko Bellic ASMR ya but at least if I hit a drift and launch my car 5ft in the air and land it I can still drive away
That has nothing to do with it lasting long. Do you often go five feet in the air in your car? Does anyone do that? Most people definitely don't even drift or go five feet in the air when driving.

Eww, it's an automatic! How can you live with yourself?
