Yeah, really. I'm relieved...too many people are getting rid of their Neons for Scoobies. Don't follow the crowd for God's sake!

Looks good Dave, looks like you need to buff it so it looks as good as the Neon!

Gawd I want a B4 sooo bad.
Looks good, but yeah it looks like it could use a good detail

Yeah, had it for a week now.

It's got an idle issue and is throwing a code but I think I've got it figured out now, just waiting on parts.

It has 164K on the clock. Clutch has around 6k on it, new rotors and pads, new tires, new spark plug wires, all done last Nov & Dec. CV Boots, Timing belt, PS & AC belt, headgaskets, all done within the last two years. Since I got it I've been doing just alot of general maintenance stuff.

It was well taken care of before I got it. VIN showed that the first and second owner took it in for regular service and the last one that I bought it room put some money into it as you can see. He just got accepted into a law school in florida and was leaving today, AC didn't work so thats why he was selling it. Handles great, runs great, interior is good, paint and headlights could be better but aren't that bad, 1 or two small bits o rust, overall this thing was a steal.

Got it for, get this.....

2k.

Neon is just sitting there being shiny.

Paint on the scooby does need work though, I'll work on that sometime. It is the "beater" though.

After driving that for a week now I took the Neon out tonight and I could barely drive it, the two cars are so different. My poor poor clutch. heh

Overall though, nice replacement for the Honda, now I just need to sell that and get it out from infront of my house.

I am gonna get rid of my neon in a few years myself. But only to get the EVO MR in return

.

Love the azenis! Just be careful those don't like any amount of sand on the road. A kid in my NETC car club crashed his autox/dd car after hitting a little sand in the road on azenis.

Your neons is so clean!!!

YEAH! Great job man. $2K for that car is a steal. I would love to find an ACR to commute and garage my STI for a track car.
Though, the neighbor down the street is thinking about getting rid of a VF34 turbo'd Forester...that might be fun.
