So I Recently bought a 2005 Dodge Neon. little shy of 147k miles, but not terribly rough looking for it. believe it was one previous owner.

I'm not a heavily experienced driver or car guy, but I grew up with my dad doing most of his own car repairs, and I was in school in a time where they actually taught such things, so I am pretty familiar with the rudiments of how cars work in general, and I'm reasonably mechanically inclined, not an idiot, and I can follow instructions from a manual.
I do have access to my dads advice/help, tools and such so that is definitely a leg up for doing my own repairs, which I do intend to do as much as I can both financially and because it seems like it would be nice to have that sorta hands on familiarity with it.

I tend to be inclined to aiming for maximizing bang for the buck by default, with a relatively limited but not impossibly tight budget. (no kids, so that helps) this seems like a pretty good starting point for that approach.

Gonna check out and post for some advice over in the Neon Section.

Good to be here!



edit: oh yeah, its an SXT if that makes much difference for anything.
