Hey guys,
I'm trading my motorcycle for a car, cause I need something safer to take my kid to school now (don't feel comfortable at highway speeds with the little one on the back).
So I posted an ad on the local CraigsList here, and have had 2 offers to trade as of yet.
I'm looking for a small, 4 cyl, auto or manual... that's good on gas (close to the bike as possible).
But I'm not going to be too picky.
I'd like to pick your brains, to see which would be better car... I don't want a lemon... LOL.
Basically, I'm looking at a 2001 Dodge Neon... 4cyl auto, 120K. Are there any problem areas with these that I should be looking at?
And the other choice (as of now) is a 1999 Ford Taurus, V6 (Duratech DOHC version), 140K. Any problematic areas with these I should look at? This car is in nicer condition than the Neon cosmetically, but I'm not concerned with that. I want to get a car that's going to last, and be the least trouble.
I'm leaning towards the Taurus, I drove the Neon... and it needs some work, but is mechanically sound (so it seemed).
Opinions??
Thanks,
Jeff
