Alright, as some of you know my neon has not been on the road for almost 2 years now, had it running last year for about 15 minutes total after doing the head gasket and timing belt, then she just up and quit on me. I have about $500 invested into it for the head gasket job I did, then for all the parts I replaced trying to get spark out of her, then the brake line that burst while it was in the garage. I really want to get her running but I am just plain stumped, I would like to spend maybe $200 bucks to have it towed to a mechanic and have him diagnose it, but I do not have the money and my mother does not want to put the money into it. I was just talking about it with my father and he says sell it, then run far away, but I do not want to. Its a 97 4dr. SOHC, ATX, new head gasket, timing belt, water pump, cam sensor, wiring harness (not new but used), plugs, coil pack, wires, brand new (less than 1000 miles) Dayton 185/65/14 tires, needs a new front bumper, and fender from fender bender but is still drivable (if it ran, LOL!). So, who thinks I should get some money and take it to the mechanic, worst comes to worse im only out $200 bucks tops (not including my pride when handing the mechanic the keys
), Sell it as is (what would you give me??), or part it out? If I were able to get it running, it could be used as a second car for us (sister keeps complaining about the 14 mpg in her Dakota, lol), we could get about $30 a month taken off of her insurance, when she has to trade her truck in in august she could drive it until she gets a new car, and I would REALLY like to have it as my camaro is only going to get about 11 mpg[:@]

Looks like a nice car. Do you have towing insurance? Maybe get it and take it off when your done? I like midas for a shop here. But only because i know them. I would NEVER take my car to a shop where i dont know anyone. Whats wrong just no spark? I would just keep messing with it see if you can get it running. You put alot of work and money it it. Dont give up that easy. I have been trying to get this damn neon, i did a engine swap in, running for about a month now. From time to time. But i wont give up on it until its running. Thats just me. Good luck.

ok...here is the thing....
the car isnt too bad looking, but if it doesnt run, dont plan on getting too much money out of it...maybe a couple hundred bucks....maybe..
if you like the car enough, then your just gonna kick yourself in the *** if you get ride of it

And the car would not be worth 1500+ because of the damage to the pass. front, maybe 1000 If I found the right buyer... However if I kept it I would do the body work to it and paint up the fender and bumper. The corner of the hood got a little bent too but I think it is fixable rather than buying a new hood.
