Anyone trade EP for SRT-4 yet?

[dustin]

Reason I ask is because I was comtemplating this very thing. (I already feel like a trader). I thought I once saw one or maybe two posts that someone had done this. I'm curious as to how much you were paying for insurance w/ your EP vs. what you pay now for your SRT-4? How old you are. Driving how many years? What carrier? What deductable? ($250, $500, $1,000). All that stuff. Thanks.

Traitor, not Trader

The SRT-4 will be a fine machine for a bit, but you might want to join AAA when the warranty runs out.

im 100% happy with the EP

[foilpan]

a member by the nickname of "furious" traded his.

i'm not going to search for his post, but it was in EP Discussion.

i believe he's from around worcester, ma. he seemed pretty happy about the power increase but disappointed in the build quality and interior (he misses his si).

a SI for a SKITTLE?:D

sort of off topic,but my friend has a srt-4 and this past week he broke the oil line running to the turbo.the dealership told him that the line is rated at 40psi and at full boost he is running 80psi through the oil line.know that shows that dodge cut some corners for the low cost.they can keep their cheap crap.they might be fast but overall they could never be a honda.i drove his and i would much rather have my honda tranny because you almost have to be a weight lifter to go through the gear box in the srt-4.just my opinion

Everyone I've seen driving an sr4-t is a complete stroke. Those cars are still ghey even if they are fast. It's like asking who's trading their ep for a pontiac gtp? It's still a piece of shit dodge car.

hehe, still at 150 per month? stupid insurance code went up and the insurance on our car went up. this is due to stupid mofos that break into our cars and careless driving. to make it simple, we do to many claims.

sorry i missed this thread...

STP, must you? MUST you?, at least you didn't color code it this time:D

well to the thread starter:

i in fact don't miss a thing anymore about the EP. true that it's interior is higher quality. however, the interior is inexpensive but got a cool feel in the SRT-4.

premium...yes there is a diff. mine went up a whopping $130 a year:D i have nothing on my record in MA. have 7 year experience as driver, multi car discount, corporate discount. $1250 a year for 500 deduct all comprehensive/collision and very good injury coverage.

if you make the switch, you will not regret it. the SRT4 is a monster FWD. just today i accidentally spinned in 3rd...oops...

the car gets way much attention. you'll love it. not that i'm trying to convert you or anything, but just my honest to god opinion since someone asked.

anyways, my dodge dealer is still hanging on to my Si will little to no hope of selling it off.

ok, that's it. you will lose no sleep over the trade;)

With all of these different new rides coming out I have questioned myself about my EP3.
The Saturn ION Redline and the Dodge SRT4 both have more horsepower than the EP, even though I don't care for the looks of either.
Guess I am just disappointed about the aftermarket parts available for the EP3, I thought there would be more options.
I mean shit you can even buy bolt on shocks without tear up the stock suspension or going to coilovers.
Still like my EP and I always wanted a SI, just kinda feeling burnt. :'(
I only paid 14,500 for my 2003 so I can't bitch too much and it is still a fun car to drive.

goddam man, i OWE that much o my 02 after over a year of payments....wtf, i shoulda waited like 3 months, oh well, live and learn, love my car. if anything, i am going to hold onto it until my trade in at least matches my payments, at which point i may go the wrx route...we shall see.

the SRT IS a cool car, but I am not a fan of domestics. i worked in the auto rental industry for many years of my life, and like clockwork, every neon we had went POP at about 75k

Well I was very lucky. There was a BMW dealership in Chicago that had my EP traded in for a new 5 series. The EP was purchased as a graduation present for some kid and he was upset since he wanted a BMW 5 series. So his dad took him to get a 5 series and trade in the EP. I said that I only had 15,000 to spend out the door, so they did it. The car only had 1,500 miles on it. Worked out good for me. :D
