I got a used 97 neon. It needed brakes, a belt tightened, some body trim clips (all dealt with), a few door weather strip clips (waiting til spring because I have nowhere dry to deal with it) and the door hinges on the passenger front door adjusted (it seems to be hanging slightly low).

Works for me.

Now, the previous owner was a slob about how they put aftermarket speakers in, so I need to deal with that, but it wasn't really a problem with the car...
