97 Neon ACR with blown engine in Jax $500

Saw this on CL today. In case anyone wants to follow Per's footsteps and pick up an ACR with a bad engine!

I sent you a couple PM's about the miata wheels....?

That's the one I almost bought in Orange City for $800...the engine didn't sound right and it was riced out......Still not a bad deal, that tranny is worth $300.

Made arrangements to go by on thursday and look/buy. Guy emails me saying he's now going to keep it.

I must have the worst luck buying a car. Everything I find is either 1200 miles away, guy raises price after we agree (talon for $2200 posted on here awhile back- made deal, decided he didn't want to make it, then raised price), owner doesn't have title, or dude flakes out 24 hours before.

Grrr.....

It's probably for the best. You don't want to be in Jax tomorrow with Fay on the way.
