Like the title says i just bought a used 2005 dodge neon sxt for 3400 its gonna be my sis car but ill drive it for a little. Wondering what i should do to it?

 

Mileage? Do what I Did. Replaced every leaky seal and new timing tensioner/ belt / water pump. Replace hole rear end. Struts brakes lines springs shoes drums cylinders. Rotors pads re seat spark plug tubes. Intake exhuast gaskets. Coolant thermostat both radiator hoses. Both heater hoses.
Much more.

That way there is no service needed for a long time. Just oil changes.

 

Its got 91k

 

Not bad. Get u a Gates timing component kit. 105k is the service intervals.

 

It's really only going to be my car for like 5 months max I will be giving it to my sister when its paid off then getting me a new car.

 

-Definitely get the timing belt/water pump/belt tensioner changed as recommended. Also have the tie rods and lower ball joints checked. Just remember. They call it "preventative" maintenance for a reason. You don't want those valves kissing the pistons if the belt goes out. I bought my '05 SXT in '07 with a bit over 19k on it. It has around 139k on it right now and still runs like a top. No fluid drips on the garage floor, and no blue smoke from the exhaust. I'd drive this car from Ohio to Alaska without any hesitation...

L8R,

just adding my .2 cents, but I have one with approx. 220km, and I've had to change fuel pump and the cam shaft positioning sensor
