You have indicated in on of your posts that you purchased yours from Herb Gordon. Mine has only 380 miles. But I can tell that despite all the negative postings I have red, 2K Neons are very good cars for the price. I paid 11.5K + TT AT,ABS,CD,AC. I was going to buy Honda Civic but I could not justify the difference. They asked 15.3K +TT Even tough mine is 2K, all the guages are white. I thought this for 2001s.

Since the new 2000 Neons came out, all ES model gauges are white-faced. Love the way they light up at night. To me, it's the car's best feature.
#490 of 1758 Recall Repair, Tires, & Rotors by edswords Nov 11, 2000 (8:50 pm)
Its been a while since I posted here. It appears things have settled down some and I have actually enjoyed reading some the of the recent posts and thought it was about time to post again. I took my 2k Neon with 18,000 trouble free miles to my dealer for its PCV valve repair. I was having a small vibration at 65+ mph on the highway so I had the dealer re-balance my front tires while it was there. I was also concerned about my rotors as they were pulsing when the brakes were aplied. I thought they were warped. The good news is that I got the car back in 3 hrs as promised by my dealer and the highway vibration is completely gone as well as the pulse I felt under braking. Can faulty tire balance also cause a pulsation under braking? I dont know, but I think they were related. I also had a chance to check out some 2001 Neons while at the dealer. They have some awesome new wheels and new colors. I think the wheels were 16" with 195 tires and they make the whole car look more substantial and sporty. I think they issued the recall to bring all of us 2k owners in with our crappy 14" & 15" steel wheels & hubcaps with those tiny 185 tires to see the new cars and make us want one. I complained about the 2k tire and wheel packages months ago, apparently Dodge was listening!

You won't get flamed from me. I just ordered a 2001 Neon ES (I have a close relative who works for DaimlerChrysler) with every option available, including leather interior, EXCEPT auto trans and engine block heater. Had an original Neon with every option available (including auto trans) except for engine block heater and loved everything about it except for the auto trans. Since the Neon have had two JA sedans (Breeze and Stratus) with 5-speed trans. Replacement for JA sedans, the 2001 JR Sedans (Stratus and Sebring), are not available with 5-speed, only coupes have 5-speed available and they're Mitsubishi vehicles. Really looking forward to the 5-speed in a better handling vehicle. Wasn't sure if I should have gotten the R/T with the 150hp engine, it didn't seem that I would notice 18 extra hp and the steering/wheels/tires/suspension are all the same as the R/T. And no premium fuel required.

I agree with you,the 5 speed is the best Neon,but new ratios for ´01 makes the car feel much better than the ´00 Neon

I don't recall your screen name but did I offend you without knowing it that you started your posting like that???? If I did then I am sorry. But anyway, the neon we purchased is for my wife, I am driving it for proper brake-in period. I have 99 Accord LX 5 spd (runs like Swiss Clock). MD ares 495 traffic is killing me. Driving 5 spd was fun but this traffic is miserable. I requested quote from my dealer for 2K Intrepid. Because of 0% APR I might switch the cars and end up paying less. Good luck with your car. Temparature is going up, I have to leave.
#494 of 1758 My Y2K Plymouth Neon by bugswest Nov 15, 2000 (11:18 am)
Hello all-     I have a 2000 Plymouth Neon LX, I have been very happy with it. The car has 11,500 miles on it, no problems at all. I am planning major modifications to it, but for now I have an AEM Cold-Air Intake which improves performance as well as the sound of the engine. Along with the intake, I have blue-HID look alike headlights, which I think look great considering the car is the midnight blue. My future plans include exhaust, suspension, as well as bodykits. Maybe if I get around to it, I will add a turbo eventually. I plan to keep my car updated here on the posts, so let me know what you think. I live in the Tempe area in Arizona, so tell me if you live here!!              Thanks,                  Elias

Don't forget a really big exhaust pipe tip, or you will never get your "props from your peeps"! regards, normallyaspiratedengineboy4u

Elias. Do you have the name of the supplier of the blue-HID look alike headlights? Protegextwo keep the grate enthusiast of always¡ Regards Alex.

I think you are using the wrong racial slur there. To imply getting the "props from your peeps" would lean toward a ghetto theme but the coffee can exhaust tip is clearly "rice". What bugswest is working on here is a nicely personalized neon that would spank some serious high dollar iron from over the big ponds. Neons are not normally "riced" out as say Hondas and Mazdas so often are. Not to say it never happens, just that the 'per capita ehaust tip diameter' is much higher on say, oh I don't know, maybe a Protoge!? Bugswest- welcome to the NEON board, please take the 'never even sat in a neon' poster's comments with a grain of salt, or better yet a shot of Jack Daniels. All the Mazda fans here are just looking for a recount of horspower, come to think of it the Protoge does look a bit like a pregnant chad.
