I would definitely have it checked out.
Modified cars have been usually been ragged on 9 times out of ten.

I would never buy one, personally.

I would definitely buy another one, mine had higher miles and through thorough inspections ( i worked at a shop at the time) there was almost not sign of wearing (literally). The car was super fun, they make stupid power cheap and are very DD friendly. I recommend it

No.......Subaru
no, they're ugly
Only if it is black with some sort of 'boost' related bumper sticker
Nope. Most SRT-4s are ragged out very badly. Also, even though they make lots of power, they are FWD which gets really old.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
yeah FWD is so 2008
Yep, no Mad tYte drifting, no girls poop stickers, no "slide or die" catch phrases

lol
Price is reasonable, it would be worth checking out. If everything seems good id go for it, he said its gonna have some more work done soon, if it was about to blow up he wouldn't be adding more parts to it. Just throw a roof rack and a tow hook on it if you want the approval of IA members lol
thanks for checkin it out.. yea i want something boosted and a nice dd . i know that most srt4's are ragged out but the guy said he just went through a full maintenance check up on the car including a full gasket kit. water pump fuel pump etc.
The way i see it if it blows up you can sell all the upgrades to buy a new engine lol, then you have an 8k dollar car with a new motor, stock replacement parts are probably really cheap.
I'd check the suspension. Chances are hes got stock struts with the lowering springs on them. Struts are most likely blown.
I used to want one.. but not as much anymore. Still nice cars for the price.
Id consider a mazdaspeed protege for around the same price... the srt4 motor is built alot stronger.. but msp's are great cars aswell.
srt4
cobalt ss
Mazdaspeed protege
GTi
srt4 is like 10 grand cheaper though then all you listed.. thats why im considering
if you do get an srt4 make sure it is stock
all those cars the same year 2003 are around the same price from as cheap as 8k - 13k. the cheapest being the mazdaspeed protege. most expensive being the GTi. look it up!
they are good cars...my only thing is they're still neons...I've never liked the styling
There ook but ...
Still looks like a neon with turbo is nive
nurp.
28 . female . I has VTEC . hondachik .
S.I.C. Chic (Split Image Customs II)
I know people who have all of the above.
Honestly, the neon is going to be the best power for the price and they are easy to mod.
With a grand you can be in 320-330 hp range.
if you have the moeny and aren't financing though, I would look into a 240 or fox body. for the same money, you could have an extremely quick street car.
I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.
"Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary.... that's what gets you"
i agree but i just didnt want to say it....and hurt the msp's feelings...
no.
If I went with a 4 banger it better be awd turbo. DEF NOT FWD.

i just bought my 2004 srt-4 with 45,000 miles from a 60 year old guy for under $11,000 ( the guy being 60 years old was the key decsion maker for me) alot of dudes run the shigggity out of them
I would get one... Not the one posted on craiglist tho....
It would deff. have to be stock or almost stock.....
O and STOCK WHEELS.....
neons are gay.
dont be afraid of buying a mod'd one but try and find one that the heatsheild has never been cut...that tells you the car was always at stock boost levels because you have to trim the heat shield to put an aftermarket wastegate that lets you up the boost. intake, exhaust, intercooler, all that is fine but alot of "srt4" owners are dumb fucks that dont understand the concept of air/fuel ratio and run too much boost for stock fuel.
I'm with Chad. I have 75,000 on mine and I RAG THE SHIT OUTTA IT. Has seen prob 1000's of track passes on stock motor,head,axles etc. If regular maintenance was kept up on the car it is as good as gold imo. I have no prob cutting 2.0 60s in my fwd on street tires. With the only suspension mod being lowering springs.
Neon PoWa
Now Delta 46 equipped
432whp/425wtq on lower boost
most people who have had an srt4 will say 'yes id buy one" and those who havnt owned one are still "eww id never buy one"
i absolutely loved mine. amazing cars.
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
I have wanted one and still want one. I really want an '04.
yeah, and id like motherfuckers to not come into my wtb thread, tell me they have a part i need and then never return my PM.

No, especially not that one. I use to have a red one with larger FMI and diff BOV. They are fun/powerful for what it is, cars to drive but are not reliable IMO and at the end of the day they are still a neon and worse a DOMESTIC. lol
But I mean heyyy...have a lot of cash to throw around!? I woudlnt be opposed to having one. Just not that one. =)
Good luck with changing your spark plugs. Not saying a Subaru is a bad car. It's just that a horizontal opposed engine is just hard to work on.
And plus I am partial to Dodge, obviously...

yours wasnt reliable? really? my black one trapped 120mph, was daily driven and i beat the shit out of that car daily and it never broke(except when i flipped it and it ripped the oil pan off and the car kept running) and the one i have now runs 12's and the only issue i have had is clutch and TPS sensor.
maybe you just got a bad one. both the ones i have had were always very reliable.
