02 Dodge Neon R/T
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 2:58 pm
Just bought a 02 Neon R/T which is my first car and to tell you guys the truth, Im not much of a fan for domestic cars even though me and my family loves our Focus but the most reliable car that we have had and that we still drive is our 87 Toyota Tercel 
anyways I was looking in dealers for something cheap but with some power and that I would love and one of the salesmen showed me really quick this neon that I got. Only thing I liked about it was the gauges because they were white, the dual Exhaust, but I don't really like red @_@ but we stood behind the car talking for a few minutes and I kept staring at the back how it said Magnum 2.0. Since there were other dealers around I wanted to check the Honda dealer (Even though we were at a Mitsubishi dealer which I love Mitsubishi) but everything over at Honda was waaay over priced and the thing that I hate is that almost every damn used car is Automatic @_@ so even if I find a car I liked i will end up not liking it because its automatic but I told my dad hey lets just go back and test drive that Neon.. I just want to see how it drives. As soon as my dad turned the key, we heard the roaring of the dual exhaust. Im like.. Niiiceee sounds good we did a few laps and then I got a chance to drive it and I loved the how the clutch and accelerator felt because on my bro's focus I feel like the clutch comes out too fast and the car shakes a bit when that happens.. he always tells me to let the clutch out slow but you have to do it reallly slow in order to have a smooth ride @_@ but I loved it on this neon then we saw the price for $6,800 so long story short we got it for $5,700 with $500 down only $185 a month and they threw in a 2 year warrenty (which came out to pay off already cause radiator cap had broken seal) so what do you guys think? oh and I looked around Neons.org for a week now and its too generalized and they generally talk about SRT and not enough about the 2nd gen so this forum seems perfect for me and looks more nice and friendly

). You'll be surprised at how well an American small car performs considering all of the unwarranted negative press about Neons. Welcome to the boards!
I also love the R/Ts
