That's the exact situation I'm in, there is nothing not rotted away here, so to find a decent one, you have to go down south. In fact, this one found me!

I was thinking about that, but no one would buy it. There are a whole bunch of neons on kijiji and CL, for 1500 you can get one safetied and e-tested, I don't see anyone buying this one for $500 and have to put a ton of work into it just to end up with a rotted, beaten up Neon.

Also, I would genuinely not feel good selling this car to someone, it is far too rusted, I would feel bad. the front subframe is almost terrifying, the rockers are so soft, the main structure comes from the rocker guard paint... The driver's side quarter is well.. GONE!

I will take the $250 scrap and walk away with a smile. If I can find a higher offer though, sweet!
