Hell yeah, man. Gonna be an awesome year for Carlisle. The SRT is stock, one owner, 93,000 miles. The clutch grabs hard and it boosts perfectly. The control arm bushings are shot, and I need a new upper coolant hose but, all-in-all, it was a steal.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:37 pm

Yep, bone stock. The clutch was in awesome condition, and other than needing the few things Jeff mentioned the car is mint.

A steal ey?

Oh it was

Yes, thanks to Crystal, who drove from RI to see the car with me, she was able to talk them down a lot in price and helped A TON with the negotiations. Without her there I would have been raped.

I don't think they saw that coming. Tards.

They under estimated your ability completely. Plus it helped that you starred in My Cousin Vinny.

Perhaps you should have purchased a less expensive car if you have to eat Ramen...

Surprisingly, the payments aren't half as bad as I was expecting. But I like Ramen as a choice, not a survival technique.

Ryan, out the door with tax, title, blah blah blah I paid $9k.

nice. that's not too bad. you must really have a blue care fetish

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 4:57 pm

We actually went there to look at the 04 Red one they had, and look at the blue as a secondary. But once we started looking at the red one and how much work it needed/how hacked it was the blue was the better option.

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 5:05 pm

Yeah, the red one they had was fubar'd. Poor neon. Luckily, I saved this one before anything bad could happen.

Congrats on the AWESOME purchase! not sure we'll be at carlisle but hopefully we can see it in person sometime!!

Ignore Liz, she will be at Carlisle.

Great pickup Jeff, and thanks for taking care of one of our members CM

Anytime, I wish we would've had the ability to film what transpired. It was so worthy of being posted up here for all to be amused by. It was a "my cousin Vinny" moment for sure.

So Crystal when I buy my second SRT4 will you come talk down the price on those rapist salepeople for me as well?

And true. Liz and Eric better come to Carlisle and miss spkplg should consider it as well if it at all possible.

LSP i don't know you, but when i get a srt you should make a visit to MI so i can haz deal?

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 3:00 am

Nine is decent, but I think you could've found a better deal.

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:07 am

Very awesome indeed. I knew there was a reason you kept sticking around 2gn.

There were some beat ones for a little under $8k all over, but I wanted mint/stock and I didn't want to do private sale either. I'd rather pay a little extra to have someone else do all the paperwork and take my old car off my hands. Remember that sales tax falls into this equation, which ups the price.

Thanks, Tam. I figured you might enjoy this.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:31 am

Nick & SC6: Sure can

You want to talk about rape they wanted 11,995 for this car.

lilnicko11 · Post by **lilnicko11** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:42 am

Haha. Me and Passt (nate), talked about this the other day. To many of us the value of the SRT4 is really priceless since many of us see ourselves having them for a long time if not keeping them permanently. Then on the other hand some people just price them way too much. Sure we would all love for them to be worth more but as time goes by I guess we all gotta come to the realization of what worth really is whether it be a dealer or private sale.

Anyways, good job that is a great deal and I would have to say going for the car with 1 owner and less mods is the smart educated choice. You never know with a modded SRT4. I know some SRT4's in my local area that I would never even consider after some of the owners I have seen.

I think Nate got a steal deal recently. I do not want to spoil his surprise though but you will all be super jealous so I'll let him post it up if he ever gets the chance. If not I will have to drop the beans. I'm sure he wouldn't mind

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 8:18 am

I am now intrigued.
