My sister's fiancee has a 1998 Dodge Neon. He has been eyeing his mom's car for a long time. And according to him, his mother bought a new car yesterday and is going to be willing to sell him her car. He has his Neon still, and said that if I wanted the car then I have first dibs on it.
Now my sister, owes my mom 500 dollars. Right now the offer is that my mom forgets about the owed money if we can have the car. I need the car for driving to and from work and out with my friends on the weekends. It's a nice little car. He has taken care of it, and most of the miles on it are highway miles. I think it has around 150,000 miles but I'm not 100% sure.
I know this isn't going to last me a long time. But once I get my license, I'm going to need a car to drive to gain experience. It's a car that is not going to be a huge deal if it gets a few dings and dents.
So what kind of gas mileage do Neons get, and do you think it will be a good car for me to drive until I have enough money to upgrade to something a little nicer. I'm planning on driving it until it dies OR until my boss finds and fixes up a car for me (my original plan for my first car). So I'm looking at driving it at least through the summer. Do you think it would be ok to go forward with getting this car?
