Re: Buying a Neon...

I would find out if the timing belt and water pump have been changed. I think the timing belts are expected to last 100,000 miles, and since getting to the timing belt also gets you to the water pump - its worthwhile to change both of them together. The belts tensioner pulley should also be replaced at this time.
If this hasnt been done, I would advise looking for another where the owner can show you the receipts for the new timing belt installation. Or in my case, I would do the work myself because its a hobby with me. Its a fair amount of work though.
