That is surprising for a Neon.
I remember a New car dealer telling me the Neon had the lowest trade in value in comparison to any other automobile.
To be fair, it’s kind of a grudge match between me and the Neon now.
They were made to a price point by Chrysler. The low trade in was because they got a bad rep from some hit or miss design choices. The head gaskets were bad. The base paint options peeled. The shifters were notchy. But, they were also fairly quick for the time. The manual transmissions are bullet-proof. Very balanced handling with minimized torque steer. It’s very fun to drive. Good interior room for the size, and I like the funky styling.
