Ok so about a month ago the gauges on my wifes 96 Neon stopped working. I tried to repair it with some help from you guys, and ended up swapping out the gauge cluster. So about 2 days after the new gauge cluster is in, the radio stoped working. I finally found a short in the leaking rear trunk, another issue by itself. So I think I fixed the leak, and the short. Finally the car is running great again right? Wed at a job interview no less the car just wouldn't restart for her. The starter just clicked. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! So I had it towed to a friends shop. The engine is completly locked up. It hadn't been running hot or making any wierd noises, and all of the fluid levels are correct, and it only has 109,024 on it. My mechanic said he didn't know why the motor locked up, but he can't turn it over with a 3/4 breaker bar and a 6 foot cheater pipe. He wants like 1400 for a motor with 39,000 miles on it. For that I can put a down payment on a new car. Would you do it? Any ideas on what could be wrong that I could maybe test before I spend 1400 on a old car? Your help is always appreciated!!!
