Any NEON owners out there?

I looked at a 98 Sport this afternoon. 174k kilometers on it. Needs one rear strut mount ($70), a windshield ($150installed), and definitely needs a clutch. I can get it for $500, but how much is a new clutch gonna run me, installed? It wasn't plated, so I could only take it up the street and back really, but the clutch doesn't engage until almost the top pedal travel. Purrs like a kitten otherwise, but the clutch replacement is scaring me off.
