Mike, you'll probably find that the best way to find a nice car is to attend races and ask around. Many of the cars for sale are not advertised. Heck, my friend and I have a Neon for sale (kinda - not advertised anywhere and we're not exactly that anxious to sell it). Many others have cars for sale and are using word-of-mouth. (I'm on the east coast, so I'm not trying to sell you a car. :) )
After driving the Neon, my review of the car was much better than I anticipated. The highlight was the brakes - very nice.

I find it interesting that you like the brakes so much. I have found them to be average. The rotor size is quite good front and rear for the weight of the car, but being nose heavy lends itself to rear wheel lock up. I would say they are better than some cars I have driven, but they are not like those of a Miata or RX-7. Besides the fact that the brake pads get bent when pushed hard for a long time.
