Rare Parts

nop motor in your mirror (03 sxt mirrors are not even foldable).
hehe - how could the switch fit the other side if you cannot find that armrest piece for it??

No our folding mirrors have no motors, some early ones are heated though. As for that switch, it wouldn't be that hard to replace the switch we have now with that one... would just require a little cutting.

Yeah my old '01 had heated mirrors. This neon, unfortunately, does not.

I can't imagine it'd be too hard to retrofit electric folding mirrors in. Hell, 1.8t A4's used to retrofit 3.0 folding mirrors in and make their own harnesses so they could have them fold out on start up. You'd just have to either: find a UK spec mirror OR find a motor that would both fit in the mirror and have enough power to move the mirror.

The switch wouldn't take much either, since it looks to have similar dimensions to the US spec one.

Just a thought. Folding mirrors aren't that necessary though.

Like Jenni said, I have them here since three or four years or something, switch(es) and a pair of mirrors.
The switch is definitely longer than the standard. The switch is always fixed with two screws. If you try to get that thing fit, you loose either the upper or the lower screwhole. Shouldn´t be that difficult, but needs a bit more work to get the result nice.

The e-folding mirrors have the mirrorplates changed for lhd-use, so either you like it or you have to change them, too. If I have been watching the wiring correctly, the plug to the mirrors is the same, but with different colour (...) and one or two wires have to be changed to avoid a short and get this thing functioning. At least you have to route additional wires from the passenger side to the drivers side, but that´s fun I think. They are heated, too.

Fixed that for you... Everything else listed either isn't really rare or is custom stuff, so it doesn't really apply to this topic...

The map reading light rear view is rare?

My car came with this.

All your "BUX" parts came on every Neon produced between 00-02 in Canada. Definitely not rare. Parts you can still buy from a dealership. Not rare.

You should never forget:

My Chrysler Neon LX was new ~25000 Euro.
Don't know what the $ was at 2002-2005 - but i guess it was like $35000-40000.
How much did you pay over there for a Dodge Neon if even the SRT was only half the price of my Chrysler Neon?

So IF the Chrysler marketing guys thought that the Americans would also pay so much for a Neon - they had offered that expensive model also in the states.

I am pretty sure that (almost) no American would like to pay 35000 for a Neon only for some little toys like would grain in leather covered doors, black gauges and an ashtray light (and some more little goodies)!

No market = no cars.

BUX Neon was build for a completely different market on a higher level than in the states.

(Dodge = fast and cheap; Plymouth = even cheaper; Chrysler = luxury)

Thats it.

srtjesse · Post by **srtjesse** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 10:17 am

i got my 04 dodge neon brand new with 6 miles for 13500.00 and my 00 plymouth neon used i traded my 86 corolla gts straight up for it but i only paid 1200.00 for the corolla

Meh, Cadillac found enough suckers to buy the Cimarron. Basically a Mid eighties Cavalier.

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 12:16 pm

^I think you mean "Cavillac"

The SRT-4 was like $20,000 brand new, so like 14502 euros I guess

Jenni · Post by **Jenni** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 12:29 pm

sure - but the SRT was never offered over here.
So it was 20.000$ + ~$5000 transportation + ~$2000 for inspection and neccessary changes + ~25% custom fees and taxes + profit for the dealer...

An options package with the BUX goodies wouldn't have added much to the MSRP here since the car was sold in a much greater volume than the export market (higher volume, lower production cost). Yes, few Americans would have bought the package if it had been available but I sure would have!

Mopar00Neon · Post by **Mopar00Neon** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 8:42 pm

I would have gotten it too. I got every other option I could on my '00. Though, having a '00, I do have most of the 'goodies' people are always complaining about Dodge deleting from the later cars.

Oh yea, my car was a bit over $17k, brand new.

I hope you guys like these...

Leather seats, door panels, and Red Seat belts, and also some kind of big brakes kit...

REAR SEAT NETS...

Also note the driver side grab handle...
^ Thats something I have never seen in a neon!

Mopar00Neon · Post by **Mopar00Neon** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:00 am

I have nets like that on the back of my non-leather ES seats... I also have a drivers side handle.
