I'm ready to daily drive a car now. As much as I'd love to have a WRX I just can't find any in my price range right now and I'm tired of driving my truck in downtown Louisville everyday, especially maneuvering it through the parking garage for work. I've been looking for cheap to own but reliable cars and it seems that Dodge Neon's are popping up for pretty cheap but I don't know anything about them so I'm looking for expert advice.
My price range is about $3k and I've found quite a few early 2000's models ('00, '01 and '02) right at or under that price with under 130K miles and that seems like a good deal. Anything you can tell me about these cars would be a huge help. I've found a '02 5spd with 120K on it for $2800 and I'd like to jump on it if they're good, reliable cars.
Thanks in advance.
