Help This Poor Dodge Neon SRT-4 Escape The Bubble Its Evil Owner Trapped It In

This young and aggressive Dodge Neon turbo had so much going for it when it was built. It was an inexpensive and fun way to go fast, even if its interior was an ergonomic disaster and its build quality was on the lower end of poor. The performance of American performance, and the Dodge SRT-4 was the most important way to jump into that market. But this lovely low-mile example has been broken into a bubble thanks to the evil magic spell of its current master.

In order to break that spell, the evil wizard is demanding a $ 100,000 payout to stop the evil deed. Keeping this poor torque-steering monster parked away from where the general public can enjoy it is a travesty. If ever there was a need in the shining light of day, it's the everyman's sport compact SRT-4.

In the 13 year life of this look-at-me-Mopar it has gone through just under 25,000 miles. That's just an utter and complete deprivation of this car's ultimate monster or a can carver. It has so much potential locked up in that bubble. And while I do not have a great deal to pay for its release, I hope that someone will find it in their heart to save the mean machine from the life of a garage queen.

Then DaimlerChrysler's Performance Vehicle Operations team stuffed the 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the PT Cruiser Turbo into the Neon platform with a 5-speed manual transmission from a turbodiesel European delivery van to create the SRT-4. The team had done a lot of things in the world. In fact, it helped inject some much needed excitement into the Dodge dealer's staid lineup. It allowed me to be a Viper, to dream of a fun-ish car from Dodge.

It's a wholly absurd idea to ask six-figures for a Neon, but that's exactly what is happening. This 25,000 mile example is admittedly quite nice, but with above-average examples of trading hands in the low teens, there is no logical extension of it. If you disagree and you're ready to write a $ 100,000 check to own this Dodge, you can check out the original Houston Craigslist post right here.
