hey everyone, i'm soon to be the proud owner of a 90 something 1st gen 4 door dohc neon expresso. my jeep basically died and its my baby but i need something to drive for school and work. never owned a car, im a truck person lol. but beggers cant be choosers right, well anyway the car has a cooling issue. it has over 200,000mi on it, do these cars have typical problem involving that? and also its automatic, how hard would it be to convert it to stick and is it expensive...minus the cost of trans.

thanks, tyler
