There’s gotta be more to this than what’s mentioned in the listing. This thing is CLEAN. 68k miles, stick, and passed inspection! $1,800

The base neons were total dogs. They also usually rust like crazy.
This isn’t one of those “oh bonus because it’s stick!” It’s a car with a tiny market (“anything that drives”) made even smaller because it’s stick.

I mean you aren’t wrong but there are plenty of places in the country where rust isn’t much of an issue. Here’s one near me that really seems far better than it has any right to be considering the miles.

I hate to be the Debbie downer here, but at 133k miles it’s probably going into its second transmission replacement. I don’t know how old you are, but I was in high school back when neons were popular “second” cars for teens (after they crashed their first beater of course). People didn’t keep them more than a year or two. They were really at the height of the 00’s american manufacturer “sell a cheap car expecting it’ll be in a landfill by 90-100k, and pocket the price gap to the cheapest imports”. It was a $7000 car they were selling for like $12k.
“Tow it and it’s yours” is too much for a neon that doesn’t run. The first one was priced fairly, but I would be wary of rust if it’s located in a climate where it has ever rained.

It's hard to take offense to criticism of a second gen Neon. They weren't exactly the most high quality product you could buy at the time and they haven't aged very well. But I still see them occasionally so they can't be all bad.
