Goes out for a test drive, salesman flips the car.
The pic links do have some fairly graphic images...basically the guys face sewn up.

The Neon rolled 4 times down an embankment and a fencepost went through the windshield and peeled his face back from his nose to his right ear! :eek:
Cabin looked intact, which is a tribute to the car's designed-in safety cage. He probably would've walked away with a few scrapes and bruises had it not been for foreign object damage.
I didn't know they still made Neons. I thought Daimler Chrysler had killed it off in favor of the PT Cruiser.

Holy Lawsuit, Batman

Those turbo Neons have become the laughing stock of the sport compact community. Every week there is a new pic of one wrecked and they seem to fold up like a rusty beer can compared to the more robust cars in that class.

Actually. the PT Cruiser is built on the Neon frame/powertrain.

Now that's a high pressure salesman!

Yeah, that's why I thought they'd killed off the Neon body but had used the parts for the PT Cruiser instead. I guess DaimlerChrysler found it profitable to build both.

...such as?

You know which one. :)

Neons suck - My Plymouth has the same engine as the Neon since Plymouth = Chrysler. 36,000 miles on it and it blew a head gasket followed by the transmission two months later. Would cost $3,000 to repair it all, so we sold it to a guy who works at the transmission station where we had it looked at for $400. Fine end to a 5 year old car that we paid $18,000 for, and the last time I will EVER buy a Chrysler/Plymouth/Any other car made by them.

My brother owns a Neon. Sturdiest and best car I've ridden and driven. Well worth the money. No major issues with it and the engine is smooth as glass.

Scootter, I sell cars. Tell me why you have a problem with my profession. Hell, everyone tell me why. 90-95% of car buyers report that they have had a good experience on their last new car purchase. I am truthfull and straightforward in everything that I do. 99% of the time, when there is lieing going on, it is the customer that is the lier. There is a bad history that the honost salesman has to overcome. There is also bad history that is alive and well in a many dealerships.
Let me make an offer to all of the AH community. I have the experience to make your car buying adventure easy. Anyone that is in the market to buy a car, new or used, e-mail me for the ins-and outs.
New cars are a little harder if they aren't a Chevy, but I can send ya in the right direction. Used cars are a little easier.
E-mail me at mathiason51@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

Laz,
Sorry, I cast a wide net and caught everything in it. I understand that there are a few good, honest folks in car sales, just not enough. I have been fortunate enough to buy a new vehicle every two to three years through my business and after a bout several years ago with car sales people I have learned a way to avoid them. I have been lied to, ridiculed about my choices, and dealt with nincompoops who new nothing about their products. I now shop away from the dealers, get dealer pricing, and buy online. I don't ask questions of sales people or even visit the dealer until they call me to pick up my vehicle.
I am in an industry with less then honest people doing business also, I am a General Contractor and build high-end custom homes, I feel your pain. Keep up the good work, I am proof that honesty and integrity will allow the cream to rise to the top.
Again I apologize if you took offence to my comments they were unfairly encompassing and simply an emotional outburst.
Regards,
