Dodge srt4 MONSTER!!!

[SMpaintball78 58]

so this guy wants to trade me this care (dodge srt4) which is HIGHLY built and 10K for my powerstroke. he gave a me a little ride today.  We have had this car tore apart in his barn for weeks doing ARP studs and a turbo rebuild on it.  As of right now, it has.... ARP headstuds, 50trim turbo, 3" exhaust, engine mounts, built tranny, huge BOV, intake andMUCH more. this car is putting down around 425hp at the wheel... mid 12s car here.... heres a little video i made today as i shit myself haha we were doing 110mpg down my back country road and it was getting sketchy... (mind you we were doing 110mph IN 3RD GEAR!)

 

Sorry, the camera on my phones messed up!

Swift, you have owned a SRT vehicle. The SRT 4 is no joke, even stock they pull good numbers.

[KyleBrown 121]

it'll break down more often. 

[S.DeYoung 967]

Depends on what is more important to you. Mileage or space? What year is your truck? The SRT4 neon hasn't been in production for awhile.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

And they have horrible torque steer. If it doesn't have a giken in it Id ask for another 3 grand in cash.

my trucks a '05. the car is a '03. everything above the pistons is brand new.

[S.DeYoung 967]

The motor in a SRT10 is worth as much as that whole car. it's alittle different. When I was heavy in the local race scene I new a few guys with them and as soon as they got fast they start breaking. This is just my opinion though. At the end of the day it's all about what makes you happy. Just don't get confused about what it is just because its fast.

yeah true..i mean it is a dodge   hahahahaha couldnt resist.  my thing is my truck is costing me soo much $$. just driving the damn thing to work and back for 5 days is $130 lol. idk it was just a thought that he ran by me. Thenthe 10k hits me lol thats alotta cake!

[swift 501]

Money for money you would come out ahead if that car is running good and the parts are legit. If the car starts breaking parts you will have made a bad trade. Your truck is probably worth 18k (maybe)

Modifications NEVER add to the value of a car, no matter what a person says.  Ask a loan officer or vehicle appraiser.  The Neon has shitty resale value even being an SRT4.  Your truck will ALWAYS be worth more money.  Even with the added cash, it doesn't make sense unless you want to flip the car.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I vote no, the Neon may be fast, but it is a poorly built car and the quality is lower then your truck.  I never want to touch a car that someone else has done serious engine modifications to it.  It is almost a certainty that there will be costly issues.

[Adrian_D 520]

I wonder why he wants to get rid of the car so quickly after building it up?

This is exactly what I was going to say. I dont see the value honestly. you can do better

[///M5 2,833]

Do the math:

 

Your truck value $17500

Cash $10000

Neon Price $7500

Street value of 2003 Neon is: $4500

 

That and you are buying someone else's mistake.

I have an SRT4, I like it, but they do cost a pretty penny to maintain.
