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!!!!

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.

Dodge Charger Hellcat makes 1,032 hp with Hennessey help

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Sometimes you just want four doors. Earlier this week we brought you Hennessey's riff on the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Now comes the Charger. Much like its two-door sibling, the Charger gets boosted to as much as 1,032 hp and 987 lb-ft of torque (at the crank) thanks to the addition of a twin-turbocharging setup that works with the factory supercharger. The turbo headers and downpipes are stainless steel, and there is a high-flow air-to-water intercooler and dual-turbo waste gates. Hennessey also beefs up the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and the rest of the fuel system. The engine management system and chassis are recalibrated to accommodate all of this. You also get numbered plaques signed by John Hennessey, the boss of the Texas tuning outfit, and the technician who does your build. Hennessey's additions result in zero-to-60 mph sprints in 2.7 seconds, and the big sedan can run the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds at 142 mph. Like the Challenger, the Charger has the same disclaimer: the lofty horsepower figure comes from an engine dyno, and it will be a 15-to 20-percent lower at the rear wheels.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
