Got a new car

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 11:05 am

I finally got an SRT 4 its Solar Yellow with 9275 miles on her. I'm so excited to pick her up next weekend. It might need a headgasket, but not sure yet. Mods are Forward Motion E1 Turbo, MPx Turbo Back, Devils Own W/I, Stage 2 Injectors, Kinetic Wastegate, Walbro 255 Fuel Pump, AEM Wideband, some brand map clamp, Boomba Direct Fit BOV, and Perrin Fuel Rail.

how much you pay for her?
dealership or private?

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 11:57 am

Private and i ended up stealing it IMO for 9 grand . The cars condition is absolutely perfect, not a scratch in the car or anything. The interior is flawless as well. The only problem is the headgasket.

9 grand for 9,000 miles? The person you bought it from was definitely retarded.

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 12:03 pm

Yes, but worst case scenario it will need a new short block.

^^^ That is still pretty inexpensive when all is said an done for an SRT 4 with 9k miles on it

I saw this on eBay - the guy is a member of srt-forums. I read that post and it has been replaced once already and now has same problem... I think the mechanic he took it too didnt know crap about engines... take this sucker to the dealer and spend the money to get it fixed right!

I would assume with miles that low there is still a warranty, y0... and wasnt he wanting like 12k for it?? 8k, good steal!

Take it to the dealer or a really good mechanic and spend 1k or 2k + if needed have em check everything.....

J-Villa · Post by **J-Villa** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 1:55 pm

lol he said 9k

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 2:33 pm

Yea maybe the tech who did it had no clue what the hell he was doing. The only thing i didn't get with that price was the stage 2 ECU, tip and map sensors, and the stage 2 wastegate. The guy was very straight forward with me and it seems as if everything he was saying was true. The guy had receipts for everything and was real anal about the car. He did 8 oil changes in 9275 miles.

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 6:34 pm

I'll sell you the head i never put it on my car it was ported and polished by extremechrome on srtforums and slightly milled and was used for a little bit by LCPLPunk on his turbo atx. Make me an offer and its yours. It also comes with magnum valves, retainers, and keepers. Its in the box and ready to go.

Iwant your header!

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 6:47 pm

All of the other parts might be spoken for already, but if they are not i'll post them up on the F/S board.

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:15 pm

Did he leave the E1 turbo on? becuase in the listing on SRTforums he said he would take it off and put the stocker back on.

rOniN · Post by **rOniN** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:36 pm

Awesome deal...hopefully you just ran into a stupid seller and a good deal.

You wont regret it!

white2000neon · Post by **white2000neon** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:54 pm

I don't think the seller was stupid. He just needed to get rid of the car quick and might have a warped block. They retail for like 13-14k with the miles on it and a short block i'm assuming is around 2k, so i'm probally getting the car for trade in value with a lot of that still has to be done to it.

Hes leaving the E1 on and i am also gettin the stocker which none of them have any shaft play. I really can't wait i've been wanting an SRT 4 since they came out in 03 now i'm finally getting one.

MoxhairR/T i see that your in Ft. Myers. I have house down there. I'm gonna be there the end of june to middle of july.

Good to hear...I hope everything goes well
