Hey Cool Car Fans,
Last year I was contacted by a guy in Denver who wanted to sell his 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 that he had purchased almost 6 years ago, when his Father owned a used car dealership. He really had a hard time parting with it and changed his mind and then decided last month it was time to sell it and move on to a different vehicle.
It didn’t take very long for me to move this vehicle for him and he had it priced to sell at just $10,500. I had a number of calls on it right away, but like most of these fast cars, many of the people who called on it were not able to get financed. One couple from Colorado Springs called me though and they decided to trade in their Jeep Liberty and get the Dodge Neon SRT-4 as the daily driver for the husband. They were thrilled to get it and are not the proud owners of this unique vehicle.
One of the benefits of the Dodge Neon SRT-4 is that it gets great gas mileage for being a fast little car. It gets as much as 30MPG on the freeway, while still pushing 230hp under the hood with the 2.4l turbo-charged motor. This vehicle was only manufactured from 2003 to 2005, so they are becoming pretty rare. In fact, one of the mechanics that checked it out for me said that he would buy it back from my new clients when it has 200,000 miles, which was pretty wild.
Like the Subaru WRX, Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi EVO and other high performance cars, this vehicle has a “cult” following. I was talking with another auto broker earlier today and he said, “I can’t believe you sold that Neon?”, but he didn’t know this vehicle and how unique it is. These vehicles have a following, but you have to be aware of some of the issues that they have with them before you buy one. You have to make sure they are the right car before you start putting down $10,500 only to find out you need another $2,000 or $3,000 to make the vehicle “right”.
Enjoy the photos and if you see this vehicle driving down the road in Colorado Springs, you’ll know that you saw it here first on CoolCarGuy.com.

I have a client who contacted me about helping him sell his 1999 Porsche Boxster cabriolet. The Porsche Boxster is a mid-engine roadster built by Porsche. The Boxster was Porsche’s first road vehicle since the 550 Spyder that was originally designed as a roadster. It’s a super cool car and in really good shape, especially for a Porsche around $10,000. The miles are a bit high, but that’s why it’s priced to sell.
I read some of the reviews on this vehicle over at Kelly Blue Book and out of a 148 reviews, this vehicle rates a 4.8 out of 5 by owners of the vehicle. One of the vehicles had 142,000 miles on it and the owner was talking about how much he loved his Porsche Boxster. The original MSRP on this vehicle was $41,000, so you get a ton of bang for your buck at a quarter of the original price.
Hey Cool Car Fans,
used inventory that they can’t move when people are going to want to upgrade to the better vehicle for not much more money. The biggest change will be the amount of horsepower that is in the new Wrangler, which will be now getting the all-aluminum Pentastar that has 285 horses and 260 lb-ft. This engine will provide Jeep enthusiasts with more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy. What Jeep owner wouldn’t want those benefits?
five-speed. All the rest of the major mechanical features (axles, suspension, steering, brakes), the body, dimensions, and structure are pretty much the same going forward.
Hey Cool Car Fans,
This beast has almost $50,000 into it and he’s offering it for $29,995, which is a steal of a deal for what this car has to offer.
The last thing I would want is for someone inexperienced to get behind the wheel of this monster and lose control because this car needs someone with experience behind the wheel. It’s a ride that is ready for 
All of the documentation is with this vehicle, including photos of how it was torn down and rebuilt with plenty of photos along the way. You can see the size of the photo album that was put together documenting everything about this vehicle. It’s sweet! I’ll be amazed if it doesn’t sell for the full price and sell rather quickly once word gets out on the market that it’s available.
1969 Chevy Malibu Super Sport Clone – $29,995
Hey Cool Car Fans,
The guy telling me the story just happened to have a conceal and carry permit and had brought along his gun, which possibly could have got him in trouble crossing State lines with a firearm. He warned them that they had better think twice or he had no problem putting a bullet in them. That was a wild story to say the least and it emphasizes the importance of being safe when buying or selling vehicles today on your own.
