I'm selling my 2002 Dodge Neon SE for parts or repair. I bought the car on ebay and discovered it needs far more done to it than I thought. It currently DOES NOT RUN and will need to be towed away by the winning bidder. I have most of the parts needed for the repairs and I have removed most of the defective parts myself but due to my current poor health I can no longer work on the vehicle. Outside is in fair shape with some minor hail damage and a few deep scratches and fading paint on the trunk lid and rear fascia. Interior is fair but needs a cleaning. (Interior was dirty when I received the car; didn't get time to clean it thoroughly.) It needs the following items replaced:
1. valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals 
2. lower radiator hose
3. air filter and PCV valve 
4. drive belts and the drive belt tensioner assembly 
5. upper and lower motor torque mounts
6. radiator cap and thermostat
7. transmission fluid changed and filter and pan gasket replaced
8. spark plugs, wires, and coil pack
9. lower front control arms and ball joints and new bushings for the stabilizer bar links
10. alternator 
11. AC compressor (was blowing cold air before but compressor clutch was starting to seize up)

Once the car is fixed it should run good. When I received it #2 spark plug was oil soaked, #3 and #4 were basically fried, the engine shook worse than a paint mixer, and the transmission had almost no fluid in it. I did drain the oil and replaced the oil filter and oil drain plug but did not put oil in it yet due to the fact I was waiting til I changed out the valve cover gasket. I have a 5 qt. bottle of Mobil 5000 10W30 that will be included with the car. I have the following parts already in my possession and will include them with the car when they sell:
1. New USA Industries alternator (not reman.)
2. New Gates drive belts
3. New NGK spark plugs, new coil pack and new plug wires attached to the coil pack already
4. New air filter and PCV valve
5. New Fel-Pro valve cover gasket set with new tube seals, grommets, and the valve cover gasket
6. New Anchor upper and lower engine torque mounts
7. New transmission filter kit with new trans. pan gasket and new filter
8. New Stant radiator cap and Superstat thermostat with Fel-Pro seal
9. New Dorman spark plug tubes   

These are the parts I do not have that will need to be purchased by next owner:
1. AC compressor (About $180-$280 depending on store)
2. Drive belt tensioner assembly (Use Gates, they are the best) $138 on Rockauto.com
3. lower control arms and ball joints (Dorman controls arms $42 per side on Rockauto.com)
4. lower radiator hose (about $10-$18)

I have tried to list every and all problems known about the car. There are NO warranties implied or otherwise. Due to my poor health I can no longer work on, and I apologize that the car is not running. I currently have the car on jackstands due to the fact the engine mounts have been removed and the engine is resting on its oil pan (with wood blocks underneath) on a hydraulic floor jack. The motor will have to be raised a little and secured somehow in the engine bay. Please contact me for more info and any other questions and I'll be happy to answer them. The winning bidder will be responsible for picking up the vehicle and any and all shipping costs. The car  MUST BE TOWED to its new home. This is a NO RESERVE auction! highest bidder wins!!!!

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.
