I am considering buying a 2004 model with 45000 miles. Do you own one of these cars and what type of mechanical problems have you had.
Thanks for your input

No I own a Dodge Charger R/T and I would not trade it for the world it is Fast and attractive among other things!
I know that wasn't the answer to your question but... I love my car. In reference to your question though an 04 with 45,000 miles is pretty good!

Hello
I have had a 1997 Dodge neon and a 2003 Neon SXT I loved both cars and found no flaws in either of them ... I bought a Dodge intrepid to replace the neon for a larger vehicle other than that I would still have it.
Some notes: They still use the 420A 2.0 engine accept for the R/T and this engine has been around since the 80's and still going!! just something to think about!

A few websites have the Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's) and recalls on a car, you may want to take a look at those. TSB's are announcements to mechanics about weird problems with a car and how to fix them, this can give you some insight on potential problems.
I have a Neon, not the year you are considering, but it has been a great little car. Food for thought, the Neon has been around, basically unchanged, for years - a testament to its longevity in a fickle marketplace.
Good luck to you.

I have an 03 Neon SXT that has 117,000 Miles on it, and I had to replace the clutch at 112,000. It still has all the power and fuel mileage that it did on day one. I drive it a little hard but I baby it and only use Full Synthetic oil. 45000 miles is not much depending on how it was driven, but with these cars, driving style makes a huge difference in how long it will last.

All cars have mechanical problems eventually, even one that is properly maintained.
Check the maintenance records anyway - though it isn't a gaurantee that you won't have problems later, it is a gaurantee that you will if it wasn't done.
Try to find out what you can about the previous owner(s), was it a loaner car at the dealership? Or a rental car? Or was it owned by a little old lady? Or (warning warning) a young kid?
If you know anyone that knows about cars, bring them along, and have them give you their opinion on the mechanical condition (make sure to take it for a test drive) and what they think of the asking price.

I own/have owned four Neons: '95, '01,02, and '05. I have had no significant problems (no mechanical) - they all were meticulously maintained. My '01 did have to have the sunroof replaced twice, one headlight changed and two batteries (bad batteries) replaced. That is it. Consumer Reports, which has been largely unflattering of the Neon over the years, rated the '04 and '05 Neons as worth a look as used cars.
The Neon has been known for its brakes, handling, roomy interior and economical price. After hundreds of gas fill-ups, my mileage averaged about 24-25 mpg in mixed driving.

I don't but my friend has a 2005 Dodge Neon. Shes had some problems with her transmission though. I'm not too smart with cars but I'm guessing that problems with cars are due to the way they're taken care of, and she doesn't really take care of her car. =S
