dodge neon?

Question

I want to buy a 2000 or 2001 dodge neon with 350-450hp. with a turbo and supper charger from my bro for 2,000 it has 65,000 miles on it is this a good deal

Answer 1

A turbo AND a supercharger? Do you really know what you are talking about?

I would not buy any car that had been modified for street racing by it's previous owner, but that's just me.

For values without a turbo and supercharger, go to kbb.com or nada.com.

Answer 2

I would only consider doing it if I were able to part it out on Ebay, and that may be more of pain than it is worth if you have some returns and angry buyers. The parts alone are worth a good deal more than $2000.

These cars had problems blowing head gaskets unmodified. You are pumping a lot of boost (you sure it is "twin charged", that is pretty rare) in there, and asking for problems. Chrysler transmissions were also not known for being all that reliable either.

If it somehow manages not to explode or leave the tranny on the pavement, the temptation is too great to not drive it hard. And that means goodbye to your license and astromical insurance rates. If you are not mechanically inclined, I would also stay away. It is a part time job keeping these things running well.

Answer 3

RICER!

A Dodge Neon with 300Hp is a good way to get very dead, very fast, And if your trying to find one with a stock engine that has been modified that much, odds are it’ll going to only have a few thousand miles left on it.

Answer 4

Sounds pretty decent to me. For $2000 you can't get much.

EDIT: Of course... The other posters are also accurate, you could very easily wind up with the car wrapped arounda phone pole.

Answer 5

Sounds like a bad deal!
