Question Which Neon should I get?

Hello everyone, I am going to buy a Neon and I am stuck between which one I should get. I have the choose of a white ACR and a black ES which is fully loaded. The ACR is about 3,000 more then the ES. I was wondering is it worth the extra $3k for the more power and better suspension or should I just get the ES and spend the $3k on mods? I really need some help with this. Are there any other differences? Both of them are 2002. The ACR has about 77 miles on it which are of course miles that people drove and pushed the car to the limit. The ES has 6 miles on it. The black one also has a spoiler and the ACR doesn't (not that, that is a big deal). Please respond to this or AIM me at drophad99 or email me at drophead99@attbi.com

I would pick the ACR personally. When you can buy a car that is already tuned, however little it may be, will end up costing you less in the long run.

Well I would tell you to go and get a Honda Civic. I looked at some Neons, but I just liked the Hondas more.

Anyway, I would buy the cheaper Neon.

for 1k you could buy a really good suspension. Then you could choose to get a nice set of rims, and a good system.

How much more power does the ACR have? I think it has 150, and the ES has 132? Well you could always spend 1k on suspension, then 2k on a turbo or something and you should have more power than the ACR.

I'm sayen go with the bigger engine

You can always mod a car for a couple of bucks but you can't add in a better engine unless you want to fork over some doe. I'm guessing your leasing these so major modifications are not an option. So it really depends on if you like driving or you like looking cool in your car more.



-why are mugen parts so expensive
