Yahoo Autos The last Plymouth ever built is a 68-mile Neon, it sold for $19,000
UPDATE: The auction ended with a winning bid of $19,000. The text has been updated to reflect this.
A 2001 Neon, said to be the final car made by Chrysler's budget brand recently went to auction and sold for $19,000. It has only 68 miles on the odometer, and appears to have been ordered with the express purpose of preservation.
Apart from its place in history, there is not much to set it apart from the roughly 2,224,000 Neons sold under the Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth banner in 1993-2004. It's not a high-performance Dodge-branded R/T or ACR variant. It's not Lapis Blue, Nitro Yellow, Magenta or any of the other fun and bright colors that were offered in the early years. If you saw it driving down the street, you might think the Bright Silver sedan was just another commuter-spec compact, albeit one in very nice condition, if you noticed it at all.
