Well, the Neon I bought last year finally expired. Left it at the service station to see about the rough idle and smell of gas. The report was a bad valve (or more) on it. It's probably a bad idea to have the Ford dealer on speed dial. :lol: The Neon literally barely made it there under its own power, foot to the floor it topped out at 30 mph and smoking and getting worse by the minute. "Keys and owner's card?" "Okay but don't drive it too far." "Around the block alright?" "No, more like around the building." :lol: My man reported that they're giving $3000 rebates on the Focus (gotta get that CAFE average up). That still ended up being more than I want to pay, plus they didn't have any wagons which I what I'd prefer for work. Good news was that they had a clean '04 wagon on the used lot, only 32k on it. :)
