She currently drives a 1998 Plymouth Neon SOHC w/auto trans. We have replaced the head gasket once and recently noticed drops of oil under it again. This is about a $700.00 repair around here (southern Indiana) if you can find a mechanic willing to work on a Neon. So, with 84K mi. on the car we are thinking trade instead of repair again. Her commute is only about 15 mi. per day roundtrip and it does double as the family car. She's thinking Grand AM/Alero or Sunfire but would consider anything that isn't a Neon.
