The thing here is, he's paying for this SRT outright, he says. So if that's the case, will it in fact help him with a lower insurance rate?

Also, that SRT you posted, says $11,500 FIRM. I don't think you'll get him down to $10k, let alone 9. Especially since you'd be traveling a bit. He knows someone local would grab it for damn near asking price.

o ive seen other srt4s. if i was really gonna buy one id go test drive it and look at it carefully and all. thats just one i seen. thats all.

anyways.. insurance just quoted me at basically $240 a month if i got a srt4.. dam thats pricey. or is it for all that ive been trough ?

That's not bad considering what has happened. But it is high, and needs to be expected.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:25 pm

240 a month with 2 at fault incidents in the past few months isn't bad at all.

Also if your car is totalled, try to get as much as a down payment possible for the SRT-4. Atleast half of the price would be good, if not more...
No car payments FTW!

No car payments FTW is nice. I love paying stuff off. $240 is pricey

That's Canadian dollars though... meaning it's about 50 bucks for yours, and 42 for hers!

so when looking for a srt... do i look for a bone stock one.. or one that has some mods done to it already.. its hard to find a clean one these days.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 8:20 am

I would say bone stock.

Try to find an unmolested one....save yourself the headaches. They are out there....

That's hard to come by.

Not the stock part.

But for the fact that it could have been converted BACK to stock from being run into the ground with aftermarket stuff.

ha big bump

i bought my 05 SRT summer of 08 with 11K miles on it. never been touched, never harrassed

my buddy just bought a Commemerative #89 with 6000 miles on it. was in a barn for its whole life.

there still out there, just need to look

i could of bought a SRT in 07 but i searched for a long time for a stock one with low miles and i finally found out

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:36 pm

well the car is being towed tomorrow to a shop in town and then by monday afternoon i should know whats up with it. so ill keep yall posted..

worst case scenario...if it turns out to be totaled.. should i try to buy it back and then part it out.. cause i mean that engine does have 2 week old oem pistons and rods and new gaskets.. i would be loosing my rims etc..

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:47 pm

depends what they want for the buy out

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:48 pm

true true

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 7:12 pm

If it's cheap enough and they total it, buy it back and part it out. If you can get it really cheap AND make your money back off of it (and thensome) it's worth it.

Sykora · Post by **Sykora** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 2:57 am

wow crazy bro- post pics when you get the new one on

sure thing. if it is fixable.. well ill say.. this it wont be looking the same.

measy27 · Post by **measy27** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 1:54 am

going alittle OT here:

If the insurance totals a car, and u buy it back, how much do u spend?? Sorry for the Noobness

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 9:57 am

That's a number the insurance company comes up with based on the car, it's damage, it's value, etc.

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 12:20 pm

hey bro that sux bout the car...if u decide to buy it back and part it out get at me i want some stuff lol...

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:37 pm

wow.. so i guess i did more damage than i thought.. or maybe its just shop costs.. but hold on to your seats boys and girls..cause i just got the papers and the estimate to fix my neon would be $7000..and thats like just a rough estimate.. it could be more or who knows. im getting ready to call the claims people to see whats gonna happen and what parts i can keep and how much it would be to buy it back..ill let yo all know what they tell me. well im off to call them.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:38 pm

ehh... i have to wait for them to call me back i guess. then theyll know how much and what not..

anyways.. i guess im in search for a stock neon..probably same white 04 sxt like i started out with and then it transformed into what it is now.. but just gonna keep it stock with lip kit and rims and coilovers..blahh.
