2000 Plymouth Neon with 6 original miles!

[racer12306]

There was a fella on the west coast who had a very low mileage one (well under 50k miles).
I recall seeing his Craigslist Ad up for quite a while as he struggled to sell it (the price was reasonable too, at about 15-20k CAD).

I know a guy who had his 2005 SRT with about 90k on it that was trying to get $20k. It was perfect and meticulously cared for, but that's almost what MSRP was in 2005

If there was an SRT4 with only 6 miles out there that would be such awesome find.

Well, here's one with a little more than six miles, but still super low nonetheless...

Up here, those sold for closer to 35k new.
These days, the sticker price in Canada and the US seems to be quite similar, despite the exchange rate differences.

lol.

LOL? Easy to laugh now that it is sold. Can't buy anything fresh in a compact sedan for 20K+ so I thought that was a good guess. I guess the Neon Cache' and the 3 gear slushbox didn't help it.

$20k good guess and possible but sold for $10k.

I expect this dealer to list it shorty for at least $20,000 where it will sit for months, possibly years, with no buyers.

Nice car, I hate the 4x4 tire gap on econoboxes.

Someone explain to me how in the heck this almost 24 year old car has only 6 miles on it? My little monkey brain can't compute this.

The article says the Neon is is owned by the Petersen Automotive Museum

Basically right... $19,995.

I had one and the rear brakes always made a lot of noise when it was cold outside. Other than that it was a great car. I got rid of it and bought a Honda Civic.

I thought the track ready ones were a R or R/T, not SRT. They had no sound deadening, no back seat. They had a roll cage and provisions for a 5 point harness. I’m not sure they even had A/C. These were not bought as an “upgrade package” for the weekend wannabe. one of my friends back then won 1st several years in a row in his division of SCCA. He told me the neons in this form had great street cred amongst enthusiasts.

because the owner kept wanting to go places and then looking in the garage and realizing the only way to get there was to be seen in public driving a neon ...

It would have really neat if it were an SRT Neon. This car is like finding a Vanilla store brand Ice cream in your chest freezer

 

[fantastic]

A bit over $10k interesting. Thanks for all who replied about that.

I wouldn't want that thing even if was given to me for free.

My neighbors 3 kids passed one down from the oldest to the youngest as they were learning to drive. That little car was rode hard and put up wet for quite a few years. It still ran good when their dad sold it for $300!
