2002 Dodge Neon Se Sedan 4-door 2.0l Does Not Run Needs Work on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:142205
Location:

Rockport, Texas, United States

Rockport, Texas, United States

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!!!!

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

Chrysler has announced that it will issue three separate recalls that will cover as many as 1.2 million Ram pickup trucks for "steering-system tie rods that may have been misaligned during assembly or steering-system service." The vast majority of these trucks were sold in the United States, though some trucks in Mexico, Canada or overseas will be called in, as well.
The largest of the three recalls covers an estimated 842,400 model-year 2003-2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Two smaller campaigns will bring 294,000 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, chassis cabs and 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 Mega Cabs; plus 43,500 model-year 2008-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 4x4 chassis cabs into the dealer to be checked and repaired if necessary.
This is a very large recall, and Chrysler says it is "casting the net wider than necessary to identify those vehicles that require repair." The automaker estimates that "as many as 726,000 may not need repair."

Dodge gives 2015 Viper slight power increase, new GT model

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

With its troubling sales figures, the newly rechristened SRT Dodge Viper needs to come out swinging for 2015. To do that, Dodge has made a number of tweaks and changes that will hopefully carry the V10-powered sports car into more successful days.
First up for 2015 is a new GT model, which aims to marry the reasonable price of the base car with the adjustable suspension and trick stability control program of the GTS model. The GT also sports a cabin that's covered in Alcantara suede and Nappa leather as standard.
Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds.
