It seems that I'm going to have to drop the price on my stang even more which sucks because now there's no way for me to get that R/T. But I'm still looking at a few 02 ES/SXT, etc, and of course 5 speed. All around 30-50K miles on them for like $6,000 or less. Am I going to be dissapointed buying one of these? I do plan on modding it, maybe even turbo later so I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea to go with one?

Nah, nothin' wrong with the ES/SXT. There is still plenty of fun to be had there. You had that R/T available and they are fairly rare so we all said go for it. Moms and Pops can't flow some capital for a common sense car swap. (no V8 = more gas :D )

Did you call your insurance company and compare rates on a mustang and a r/t Neon?

Based on the rates Ive seen, I wouldnt be suprised if the insurance is still high as hell!

Get the 02. More mods available for it. If you can find an old 1st gen you can save a ton of money and put it all toward mods. Just make sure you get the mtx...

I'm located right out of Philly. Sorry man, I'm definitely looking for a manual. I can't stand automatic...

A quick question for you guys. As far as the 00-02, are they the same engine wise? Meaning the non-R/T models. Would getting a 02 be better then a 00?
