After seven years I think it would be best to sell it before repairs start to pile up and while it still has a reasonable resale value.
Details on my car here.
With trips I take every year and gear I carry around, I really want the next one to be a hatchback. The previous one was and I have missed having one ever since I got the Neon ( a two door coupe ).
Also, the boost addiction I was infected with has shown signs of revival lately.
I. want. another. TURBO !
Looking at the market, I think I have found a possible replacement.
You may not like its looks ( I personnaly don't care much as long as it is clean and straight, I bought a neon after all
)
but my next one just might be this:
I must admit it was not on the list at first but power drew me to it.
In GT trim, that retro looking little van has 220 turboed hp with 245 lb.-ft. of torque. Basically the same engine specs as the SRT-4. :shock:
Exhaust is the bottleneck keeping it from having the same numbers.
Exterior differences from any other PT are: badges, wheels and exhaust tip.
Great potential for a sleeper at the lights if you ask me.
Other vehicles with similar possiblities are weak in power:
Matrix XRS has 170 hp. but only 127 lb.ft. of torque. Less than the Neon in a heavier car.
Vibe GT is the same car.
Other than that I would have to look at a station wagon. Not very tempting.
I found one with a manual transmission from a 51 year old man who's asking less than 16,000$(canadian) for it. Factory warrantied still too.
And CAA says "no complaints" which I never heard them say before about any car I asked them.
I am due for a new ride.
What do you think ?
Hope this all works out. *crosses fingers and goes back to crunching numbers about car payments*

..sorry

18,000$ is a max I am not willing to go over by much and still, only for a bargain.
