Sorry to hear about your decision, hopefully things will get better and you can mod something else soon.

I know the feeling, I'd hook you up as best I could on parts, but I can't help on insurance or tags, Got enough trouble with my own.

Of course I'm also guessing you're upside down on the neon too.

Drive the Neon for a week or two. I bet you will find a way to reverse your decision. I had the same question. My Max was fastly becoming a POS mechanically. I have a 91 Escort GT in excellent shape. I was gonna ash can the Max and keep the Escudo. After driving each for a week straight....

Put it this way the Max has a new lease on life. My Max has180,000+ miles, still drives smoother than my Bro-in-laws New Impala. Is as quiet as a mouse in church I might add. Selling GT to pay for Max.

AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER??!!

Hope you manage to solve your problems. But if you have a choice between the Neon and the Maxima, don't even think about it twice. Dump the Neon and keep the "real" car!

Not with those miles. Dump the neon for as much as you can get. Drive the max for the time being Then sink the $ from the neon into the next VE 5spd you can find. Sell the max (or part) and use the $ to mod the new max!

I suppose you could do it the other way around if you still have to pay on the neon for a bit..... but come on, that neon will need a freakin head gasket every 20,000 miles anyway.........

I don't even want to think about driving a Neon. My aunt had one that I drove the whole summer when I was 16.

But then again, I have a 2003 Trailblazer that is an unbelievable SUV and I would rather drive my Max. Just ask my wife.
