You mentioned cheap cars in the minivan thread. I just wanted to mention that I put a license plate on my latest auction car yesterday, the 1996 Neon with 93,000 miles, and I drove it to work this morning. I have to say that my 1989 Honda Accord is ten times the car that the Neon is, and it has twice the miles. The Neon is great, it went the full 175 miles around town and got the job done, it runs well and everything seems to work. But it's like driving a tin can. I haven't driven a car that felt that cheap since my '82 Nissan Sentra that I had 15 years ago.
Anyway, nothing wrong with it, but it sure gives me a new appreciation for a well built car. I think I'll pass it along as soon as I get the title in the mail, and go back and get something else. The funny thing is that I'll probably make a few hundred bucks on it, as long as the engine doesn't crap out in the next month.
