Used 2002 Dodge Neon for Sale near Hollis, NY

I bought my 2002 Neon RT about 6 months ago with 98,000 kms. I think it is a different car altogether than the base 2nd gen. neons(132 hp). I also owned a 2005 sx 2.0 (neon)for one year. The RT is much quicker, and the handling is beyond the base model. The RT pulls hard right up to the 6800 rpm redline, umlike the base model which loses hp after about 5500 rpms. It is one of the quickest N/A four cylinder cars on the road. There are many aftermarket performance parts available also. It has been a very reliable ride so far, even after spending a few nights in -35 C temperatures, it started without a problem.(not plugged in either). I love the leather interior and the factory sound is impressive. Two things I dislike about this car are: 1. The optional CD changer is mounted so low under the center controls, it is almost impossible to put in or take out a CD while driving. 2. Power front windows, and manual rear windows.(I really hate the roll-up rear windows). However, this puppy can take alot of punishment. I drive like I am in a race wherever I go. I travel about 60 kms each day to work; about half is highway. I reach 190kms/h quite often. I rev this car out in every gear because I love the pull and the sweet note my intake makes as I'm accelerating(I just dropped in a K&N filter and left the top off my air filter box). I know some will claim sucking warm air from the engine compartment will make less power, but I really feel this thing pull harder and it has more low end grunt. I think it is a good all-around car. It is quick when you feel like kicking your adrenaline up a notch, it corners very sharply, and the interior is very roomy. It also has 4 disc anti-lock brakes and traction control. With good winter tires this car is an excellent winter driver. It is a nice family/sports car. I have two kids and it works well for me.

Fast accelarating, excellent handling and very firm braking. Very good gas mileage - 35mpg! Sporty looking exterior and cosy interior! Cost of ownership is really low since it is an American vehicle. Does not have any major mehcanical problems. The car is really fun to drive and it has a lot of room for all your friends.

Have only had it for a few years, but it's a great car. Hasn't needed work other than basic maintenance and a new battery. Drives pretty much like any other sports car, great acceleration, great braking, excellent handling. Only downside is it only gets about 20ish mpg, which doesn't seem right to me. Could have a couple aftermarket parts, I haven't bothered to check. Was well worth the $6000 I paid for it used at I think 70k miles.

performance - comes with upgrades from the factory, easy to mod, and lots of aftermarket. Handles great, brakes are good, just needs a bit more pep. build quaility - i wont lie, it is a neon, but if you know its flaws and address them properly, these cars will last a long time. appearance - nice lines added from the body kit, agressive open front bumper to give it a sporty look. Dual exhaust with chrome tips for an added sophisticated look. cost of ownership - one of the cheapest cars to own and maintain. follow the service manual and you wont have hardly any issues fun factor - since its the r/t its ready to go the track and have fun, especially if you like autocross. even spirited driving is a blast on the highway.

Well I love my car, however it is way to under powered. Reliable it never lets me down knock on wood! Bit of a gas pig lol but my go-kart is for sure fun to drive!!! Plus I love to beat civics!
