I bought this car when it had 95,000 miles and I drove it another 100,000 miles.  All my miles were on the highway back and forth to work 160 miles a day.  It runs good, automatic transmission is good,  everything works except the power sunroof and the A/C.  Get excellent gas mileage. The rear struts are clunky and need replaced.  I have the factory rear spoiler, easy to put on, I took it off the first day I bought it.  This has the dual overhead cam engine and would make a good race project.  Its factory stock, I havn't had to do anything as far as repair other than regular oil & filter, occasional air filter.  I put brakes on it twice since I've had it and just replaced a brake line. The exhaust is quiet and solid.  The only rust is drivers side in front of the rear wheel and a spot next to the sunroof.  The sunroof doesn't leak and never has.  Its almost 20 years old, classic, this 1st generation Neon would make a nice project street car, circle track, rally, etc.  or  for a daily driver its ready to go.
