Default I hate this car

Ok so I"ve had a lot of problems with my 98 neon but we're not even gonna get into half of it. I just need to know how much money including parts and labor am i looking at to get my heater core replaced. I know in my old car it wasn't very much but i dont' know how much trouble they have to go through to get to it

neons r the best domestic tunner ther is in my book and they look good,every car on the market has their lil problems,for the year its wear and tear problems,,lol,,,,the foreign stuff we wont even go there,,but back to the topic im guessing about 150$ to 200$,,is it because it dont heat?or is it leaking,if it just dont heat u can get ur system flushed at the dealer or garage?

our heater core only cost us like 100 for it to be installed, if you do it yourself maybe only 50 or so

the heater core isnt as bad as alot of people make it out to be.....its just alot of time disassembling the das and stuff.....

i havent replaced a heater core in a neon yet, but i have remove the air box.....which sucked, but with some patience it was fine.......
now the heater core in my dakota was bad....but it still got done and only in a few hours

well over the summer i noticed that my AC went out so i'm assuming its my heater core. I had another car that I drove but I sold it cuz the payments were too much so I didn't drive my neon until recently I work 2 jobs and go to school so i kinda need it done in like a day, I just hate taking my car to the shop cuz they give you a list of whats wrong with the car and I'm well aware that it has major issues
