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.

not one someone has modified. its like marrying a prostitute- not telling how much it has been ragged out!

**Terror** · 04-13-2009, 11:43 AM

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

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...

Owned a WRX for almost two years, and I must say...."maintence and upkeep" was one thing I do not miss at all

**SEAN** · 05-02-2009, 12:51 AM

my Knee-On has served me well...not as sexy as my old Tib but much quicker!

**hondachik** · 05-03-2009, 11:29 PM

Nope. Its American made.

**Humphrizzle** · 04-13-2009, 11:45 AM

no, they're ugly

**uproot** · 04-13-2009, 11:46 AM

Only if it is black with some sort of 'boost' related bumper sticker

**nreggie454** · 04-13-2009, 11:47 AM

Nope. Most SRT-4s are ragged out very badly. Also, even though they make lots of power, they are FWD which gets really old.

**uproot** · 04-13-2009, 11:49 AM

yeah FWD is so 2008

**antiv6** · 04-13-2009, 02:48 PM

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

**stevo_EF91** · 04-13-2009, 02:53 PM

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.

**antiv6** · 04-13-2009, 02:55 PM

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.

**ragnarok82** · 04-13-2009, 04:20 PM

I'd check the suspension. Chances are hes got stock struts with the lowering springs on them. Struts are most likely blown.

**JITB** · 04-13-2009, 06:17 PM

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.

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 agree but i just didnt want to say it....and hurt the msp's feelings...

**big mac** · 04-14-2009, 12:20 AM

if you do get an srt4 make sure it is stock

**Captain-Obvious™** · 04-14-2009, 01:35 AM

they are good cars...my only thing is they're still neons...I've never liked the styling

**vanvam** · 04-14-2009, 11:08 AM

There ook but ...
Still looks like a neon with turbo is nive

**hondachik** · 04-14-2009, 11:37 AM

nurp.

**big mac** · 04-14-2009, 12:34 PM

or you can just buy my civic and get it tuned man lol

**RL...** · 04-14-2009, 12:53 PM

no.

If I went with a 4 banger it better be awd turbo. DEF NOT FWD.

**ballzdeep** · 04-16-2009, 08:12 PM

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

**Black4DrEK** · 04-17-2009, 02:22 PM

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.....

**CHADbee** · 04-19-2009, 07:56 PM

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.

**Kason23** · 04-19-2009, 08:01 PM

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.

**Halfwit** · 04-19-2009, 08:13 PM

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.

**Romeo** · 04-19-2009, 08:36 PM

I have wanted one and still want one. I really want an '04.

**Halfwit** · 04-19-2009, 08:48 PM
