Bought a 2003 Dodge neon SXT. Paid $2800 on a trade in (not too bad since the value of it is 4300) but I had to replace the valve cover gasket ($25), the oil pan gasket ($25), the EVAP Emission canister ($125), some purge valve solenoid and filter thing ($75), and a rear tire due to a small leak and not having a spare ($175). That is about $500 already dumped into a car that I have had for only about a month. Also paid the headache of replacing all these parts myself except the tires just because we cannot afford to pay the rediculously high price of labor for such easy work.
Would not recommend even looking at their cars,
