Before you take the time to view the links let me tell you about this SRT4's story & condition, if I miss anything that you may still be wondering about please feel free to contact me I will answer questions as soon as I see them. 1-920-680-7629 ask for Tony Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck to all bidders!!

Condition of this SRT4:

For the most part the pictures speak for themselves, this is as new as it gets and honestly as nice as the pictures are, this car is sooo much nicer in person! It has lived the pampered life of a garage queen stored inside of a heated garage covered and only used as a car-show/sunny weather toy. It has been adult owned since new and been maintained as a future collectible vehicle as I believe the SRT4 Neon is the last of its kind... When I say that I don't just mean the last of the 03-05 SRT's I mean the last of the pure driver focused sport compact cars devoid of excess electronic gadgets that have created 3000+ pound tanks out of what used to be a market segment that was all about being lite & nimble. (ok rant complete LOL) 

This is a accident free vehicle and the paint on this car is all original it's free of dents, dings, scratches and paint chips. This car has NEVER been driver in rain, snow or any other bad weather. All of the trim and weather stripping are in like new condition with ZERO discoloration, cracks or wear. The door sills are scuff free and all of the badges are PERFECT and like new! Inside the car the seats are like new and the carpets have always been covered by heavy-duty all weather floor mats to catch any debris that might otherwise be tracked into the car. The original floor mats have never been used and are included with the car when it sells. The dash, door panels, center-consul and head liner are also in perfect like new condition... That is only part of the WOW factor of the interior, what will really impress is that "New Car Smell" that hits you when you open the door and the airbag warning tag still hanging from the glove box that I have resisted cutting off since owning the car! The engine bay is super clean with no dirt or damage all of the factory markings on the shocks, airbox, fuse cover etc... are original and in place as if the car just rolled off the assemble line! (in the pictures you can see the added Mopar strut tower brace, I will cover the vehicles modifications below.) The trunk of this car is in like new condition the jack and spare tire have never been used and the carpet in the trunk has always been protected by the heavy-duty rubber trunk mat. All 4 wheels on the car are in new condition and free of any curb rash or damage of any kind and the BFG KDW tires are the factory original rubber with no signs of cracking or age to be found.

All of the electronics in the car work like new and all of the buttons/switches are void of any wear. The stereo sounds fantastic and accepts multiple CD's, the heat/AC heats quickly and cools quickly, the power windows open & close quickly and the wipers etc work like new. Mechanically the car is as you would guess perfect and functions like new the oil is regularly changed even when not being driven and the engine is regularly started and brought up to operating temp to keep the seals from failing. When in extended storage the fuel is never more than 1/4 tank full and stabil is added to keep the fuel fresh. When in extended storage the battery is also disconnected and put on a batter tender.. The battery in the pictures is a new mopar battery that was recently replaced... I had to  learn that one the hard way. LOL! All in all I can't stress enough how nice this car is or how rare it is to see a SRT4 in this condition! These are drivers cars commonly used to autocross, street race, drag race etc... and finding one that has not been abused is getting increasingly difficult. If you are a fan of fast turbocharged sport compact cars and looking for the best of the best this is the one you want!! 

(IMPORTANT NOTE! 2005 SRT4's have a factory Limited Slip Diff for better traction and they also have increased Horsepower over 2003 SRT4's)

(Also included with the sale of  the car is all paper work for the car, owners manuals, window sticker, original bill of sale, letters from Dodge to original owner, brochure, receipts for maintenance & Mopar accessories etc... and all the original parts that were replaced with Mopar performance upgrades)  

Story behind this SRT4's low miles:

I'll keep this as short and sweet as I can because I know I have alot of info to read through already... The car was purchased new by a friend of mine as a college graduation gift for his son, my friend at that time was the service manager at the Dodge dealer the car was purchased from. It was prepped special from the dealer with the Mopar performance Strut tower bars front & rear, lowering springs, sway bars, rear end-links, short throw shifter, gauges and BOV. (all modifications are Mopar parts and only Mopar parts installed by certified Dodge technicians) The car was kept at the dealer as it was finished early and was to be a surprise on graduation day. 2 weeks before graduation day my friends son got a letter of acceptance to a very large engineering firm that included with employment a sign on bonus... With that bonus my friends son picked up a used 911 Porsche (his dream car) not knowing that his dad had purchased this SRT4 for him. It sounds bad I know but it actually worked out ok because my friend is kind of a turbo Mopar/Mitsubishi geek from way back (he owned a couple turbo colts, a Conquest TSI, and aOmni GLHS over the years) so he kept the car for himself until finally selling it to me to finish the restoration on one of his British cars and I have been keeping it as a garage queen ever since.

Additional Information about Dodge's SRT4 Neon: (see text & links below)



Power: SAE 215 hp (2003 model)

Manufacturer's specification when the SRT-4 was released was 230 hp. However, several independent tests have produced results indicating 230-238 wheel horse power and 250-262 lb-ft.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

2013 Dodge Dart GT

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
