Tips on Buying Cars: Used Car, chev cavalier, chrysler neon


Question
I am buying my first car and would appreciate your opinion.  I have bascially narrowed it down to a choice between two; a 2002 CHEV CAVALIER or a 2002 CHRYSLER NEON LE both for the same price and only 1,000 kms difference.  The prices are in Canadian so I don't expect you to comment on the price.  I was just wondering which you think would be the better one for a young person begining their carrer in the city.  You can find the cars at the following sites.

Answer
With no other info my experience is that the Chev Cavalier is normally a better vehicle than the Neon.  Who owned the vehicle and how it was serviced obviously should enter into your decision.  Also, spend a few bucks to have the vehicle checked by a mechanic you Trust.  Best of luck to you.  Bud
