I have a 2005 Dodge Neon 5 speed manual. I got it from my sister 4 years ago. She bought it new in 2005. It has never needed any major repairs except a clutch and it's been a great car. It's now at about 213K miles.
I inherited mine from my mom before she passed away and it runs wonderful. Great travel car in my opinion. Only major work I’ve done was replace the head gasket seals, water pump, and timing belt (wasn’t driven much for a few years prior). But other than that and usual oil changes and brake replacements it runs amazing!
I recently got this same car as my first vehicle, so far so good
Is it still doing good
Me too. Just got it
Me to 2005
I used to have a Chrysler Neon on a 2000 plate here in the UK
Should never have sold it...would love to have that back
I drive an 04 and it’s not too shabby, I never had a nice car so not much to compare it too but I’m going to drive it into the ground then I’ll upgrade.
No squel because the engine is warmed up alright, let that bad boy sit overnight and she'll be screaming on a cold start
I have one of these in manual. Fun to drive and sounds decent, but some things are a pain to work on. Took me ~6 hours to replace just the idler pulley, which included removing the power steering pump and removing an engine mount. And I had help. Other than that, no issues or breakdowns.
I have a manual Neon as well. Great car. I know what you mean about the idler pulley. I've replaced the timing belt and water pump before and the bracket with the idler pulley on it needs to come out to do that. It's a pain.
Nice for this
My Neon has some transmission problems but I have 161,000 miles on it. My mechanic drove it and said that I need to watch the transmission oil level and that the transmission is still good for a few miles more. The a/c went out long ago and I did not bother to have it repaired, but otherwise, I have never had any major problems. I've never had a car with so few mechanical problems. Hope to keep driving it and never to have to buy another car.
Change fluid
my 2003 Saturn L200 makes the same transmission noise. and I'm looking to actually get one of these a 2005 dodge neon sxt it's silver and they want 3 grand as well and it has 96 thousand miles :) not to sure yet though
I got one for 200 bucks and it is in good condition, I removed the muffler on it (video on my channel)
You said you'd get an alignment at Sears... Now they're out of business. 😢. I miss good old Sears.
536,000 miles on ours, and it still runs but doesn't record miles as of a year or 2 ago
That's a lot of miles!
Blake M. Trimble No way in hell I believe that.
@@Anonymous-ji4sb It could very easily be true, any car can last a long time if it's taken care of properly
I have a 2002 neon, i bought it brand new in 2001, 335,000 and keeps running good
@@aily-9425 yeah but not a neon. He’s probably been through 5 engines and transmissions.
Yours is automatic so it only get 25 mpg city and 32 highway only manuals get 29 mpg city and 36 mpg highway
thank you for the info.
I just got a 04 neon yesterday
Italian gamer did you junk it yet
Hunter Wuesthoff it runs great so far no problems
Italian gamer that’s great
I miss my 05 neon
Hey I just bought a 02 neon with 96k miles. How long do they usually last.
Good job, mate 👍❤😉
Thanks for watching!
I need some advice since I’ll be getting a 2005 dodge neon sxt. I need to get a key to be able to open the door since that second key is missing and I was told to buy a new one. So, should I purchase a key and get it cut or a key fob and have it programmed. I’m so excited and though it’s second hand I want to make sure Mr.Smalls Berry (the name I’ve given my car). I’m not able to get him (
Also something to add is that my (soon to be) car is an automatic
You missed pointing out the mouse house, in the spare tire compartment. Just an observation.
PS. that vehicle is missing some cushion stuffing, from one of the seats
thanks for the comment!
Nice video man, how tall are you?
I am about 5 9 or 5 10 ... :) .... thanks for watching
I just got mine for 450 dollars 💵 it’s good car 🚗. Same model 2005 Dodge neon. Using it for daily driving. For work and home 🏡.
450? Really? That's a real cheap car man. A great investment
Jesus, I can't find any under $1700 right now
You'd be better off walking than driving a 2005 Dodge Neon.
@buckets of rust Yes, I do.
Do you still have it
This car was from a dealer so I never had it. :) Thanks for watching!
I had a 2002 for a few years back in 2005. I traded it for something bigger in 2007. They were good on gas That's about it.
Not bad for the price. If you don't want to spend much - not too shabby. Thanks for watching!
Mixed Medley I spent $11.000 for mine back in 2005. It was a 02.
how many miles were on it when you got it?
Mixed Medley 48.000 miles
I have a dodge intrepid now. Its bigger and that's what i like.
I have 1 of these and I can tell you all these sxt neons are good for headgaskets, Struts and the ignition pins breaking. Struts are cheaply made at least from the OEM, You will not much more than 100k miles out of a set of struts before it develops noise and in my case the mounts on 3 of mine are broke on my 2005 Neon sxt with 130k miles.
Now I like mine, but I've went threw a headgasket at a shy over 100k miles, I help run a scap business and all the neons we get are normally because of headgaskets or the ignition pins breaking. I'd stay clear if anyone is looking at a SXT Neon's. SRT Neons are better, you still get the Ignition pin issues on some of them.
I got a 02 Cavalier with a 2.2 that has 300k miles and I've never had to replace anything like what I've had to replace on this newer Neon sxt at even 100k miles..... Hell I haven't had to replace a single strut yet in that Cavalier.
Viking 2121 you would never kill a cavalier.. The body will rust away before the engine or anything else fail
Yeah, it's the most reliable car I've ever owned, Sounds like a tractor at idle, timing chain slap that some of the 2.2's had, but it's been running with that noise for 7 years and I have a replacement engine and tranny setting in the garage I pulled out of a saturan, just waiting for the original engine to die lol. I do need to patch the rockers and patch rear corner panel by the antenna. Sold my Neon, and bought a 91 chevy 1500. Tired of the problems that Neon kept having...
250k and mine running pretty good still but it takes work
JUNKED MY 97 NEON AT 167K
CHEAP CAR JUNK
Change thermostat regularly and but new fan and u don't have to worry about overheating
Just a quick note if you're going to be doing car reviews get yourself a GoPro in a window mount so you can actually film outside the window while you drive or film yourself driving because. Driving and holding your camera or a cell phone is not safe. And it'll be better for the viewers because of be like were virtually riding along with you instead of having shaky video
I think they designed it where.....should your alternator go bad, your S.O.L They made it nearly next to impossible to get to & you need a lift or use good ramps & still a nightmare.
My trans on my 2003 neon died at 151k
Yep mines starting to slip 154k
Bro did u use to play SARP or NGRP?
@@allenriggz4646 i love dodge neons
But nothin major
You'd be better off test driving that Neon right into the lake and letting it sink.
Why?
@@Ccxbbs Because they suck. Take it from me. I had one for years, and it was a piece of shit.
@@wordman3624 how
@@Ccxbbs It kept on breaking and cost me hundreds in repairs.
The worst piece of junk money can buy!
How?
Such a gutless car.
Most small cars were at the time, hell most small cars still are today.
BS. It was one of the fastest in class
