2003 Dodge Neon SXT. Automatic. Sporty spoiler, awesome after market stereo plays mp3 cds and has a wire for for Apple 30 pin connection and a standard auxiliary in / stereo (headphone connector) as well as USB port so you can just put mp3s on a flash drive. Power windows, power mirrors, power locks. 101,000 miles. Car is spacious and clean inside and really a great car I wish I could keep.
Selling this car as I simply cannot afford it in NYC. Insurance is $300 a month in NYC and I cant afford that so Im selling the car. I bought this in South New Jersey where I used it for 3 years. Insurance there was $86.00 dollars and had no issues with that. Here it is $300+ for me and gas is more and cost of living is more and my beloved baby must go.
The car about 1.5 year ago stopped changing gears. I brought it into a shop who advised me transmission was strong and must be a output speed sensor. Changed sensor and car was fine for 6 months but issue returned. Brought this time to Giufre Dodge a better shop here in the city and they advised same thing, transmission is perfect and strong and issue was wiring harness. They repaired wiring harness and car fine still.
The only current issue with this car is it needs motor mounts. Motor mounts are notorious for going on pretty much every car and this is normal. Because the motor mounts are bad the engine vibrates a lot and this broke off muffler connection so car sounds a little bad or weak as exhaust connection needs to be fixed. If your a weekend mechanic, probably $300 and couple hours. If you bring it to shop probably $500 will have car perfect. I drive it with these issues and ignore them. I dont care if engine vibrates and I dont care if it sounds lousy, it works. It gets me where im going every time. Engine is perfect, transmission is perfect, and this car drives perfectly fine besides the heavy vibration of motor and exhaust sound.
Only about 100k miles is great and this car lived almost its entire life doing highway miles in South New Jersey where I bought it. I have original sales slip from dealer and believe Im the second owner. Its only been in NY for this last year and the rest South NJ (Haddington Heights & Burlington) easy going highways.

Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road. This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut. Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom. It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler. I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination. Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels. Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.
