Which would be better?

Ok, my mom totaled her car a few weeks ago so she has to get a new one.
With the new one, she is not allowed to drive it so the car is really mine.
Anyway, we found a 1995 Dodge Neon for 1000 dollars. Is it worth it? The car is a really pretty blue color.

But our grandpa does not want us to get it. He wants to buy her a car.
If he does buy us a car, I was considering a 2001 Ford Focus for 3995 dollars. Or a 2000 Dodge Neon for the same price.

Is the Ford Focus or 2000 Dodge Neon better than the cheaper older Neon? Even though it is more expensive. But it is not that much more expensive.

If my mom gets the 1995 Dodge Neon, she is buying it tomorrow so we need to make the decision fast. Or should we wait for my grandpa to buy her a car? If we buy it, we save him 3000 dollars or more.

Answers:
Buy it, and save him the money.
I wouldnt buy it. 1k is to much for a car that old that had so many problems with almost all of them, the biggest being head gaskets. i would keep shopping
The Neon was rated one of the worst cars ever made. My mother-in-law has a 2001 Focus and it's already rusting. You should check out the Honda Civics.
Focus, less wear and tear than a 10 year old car.
Check www.autotrader.com and you can look for used cars in your area. Good luck.
this helps you
You need to look at the milage and also the year , of any cars best place to check is buy going to used cars.com put in the make of the car and model & year ..it will tell you what there worth, but remember you get what you pay for.
Don't get any of them. Try life without a car. Breathe the air, interact with your community. Save money & save the planet & save your mum from more crashes..
get the focus..its an awesome car
if grandpas paying for the car then the focus is best as it leaves you with money in your pocket to repair it when it goes wrong..
