For the NW, for a lower mileage 04-05 seems to be about 10k, depending on location. This seem about right?
Yeah, this will be stock. It's gonna be the trip car, since we are using my truck ALL of the time now with the horses, winter etc. and her mustang getting 14mpg.

What is the difference between an SXT and an R/T
1. Magnum Cam (equivalent to a Crane 12) w/ stronger valve springs.
2. Aluminum Dual-Runner Intake Manifold with functioning butterfly actuators.
3. 2.25" Dual Outlet Exhaust (MUCH more free flowing then the standard exhaust)
4. Magnum Exhaust Manifold (Same as the aftermarket Borla header).
5. Magnum Head (larger intake/exhaust ports, much better flowing).
6. No top speed limiter...similar rev limiter (6,815 vs. 6,750 on a standard)
7. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS (rear discs are the same as on SRT-4's).
8. Tokico Struts, stiffer spring rates, and front/rear sway bars.
9. Dynamic Suspensions Double Adjustable Inverted Struts (ACR ONLY).
10. "Firm Feel" Power Steering.
11. Different PCM programming...along with different fuel maps and better spark timing.
12. 9.8:1 Compression Ratio.
13. 3.94 Final Drive Transmission
Body Difference:
1. Side skirts
2. Rear Bumper w/ Dual Outlet Exhaust Cutouts.
3. Different front seats
4. Leather steering wheel/shift ****/shift boot/optional leather seats.
5. 16" Aluminum Alloy Wheels

RE: GF looking at neon. ?'s
if you are planning on getting a 05 sxt from the dealership it should be about $10000 to11000 + tax with 16- 20,000 miles on it,for a certified used vehicle. it will have the balance of the factory waranty 3/36 and 8/80 powertrain. dont go for an extented waranty. waste of money. ive had 3 neons and so far two of them have well over 100k miles without major repairs. the most i ever spent at one time was for struts.
alot of folks say dont buy from the dealership, but if you go to a major one who is concerned about his reputation, then you wont be let down, and you will get a 8/80 powertrain with a certified used dodge vehicle.

RE: GF looking at neon. ?'s
Thanks for your help guys. SHe picked up an 05 SXT, everything but cruise control. 31k mi. for 10k today. Loves it. Little much, but its what she wanted. Gray color
Drove it, tranny is tight, everything seems okay, except the front windows. They sound like they are hitting metal on the door pillar about 85% of the way up, till shut. This normal? all the windows do it. You can also grab them all, and move them forward and rear a bit. They shut and seal good, and all the way. are tight when shut. She is taking it for them to look at, jsut thought i would ask here
I run amsoil in my truck, and all my bikes. Thinking about switching her over too, any suggestions?
Also, can i program the honk when lock with the key fob on and off with the fob, or do i take it in. I hate that.
