Select SRT-4 from drop down box if it doesn't show.

Hey this is off dodges website , the manufacture says it has a powertrain warrany of 3/36 and you say this

CSRT4 does not come with a power train warranty (no srt car does)
Then "maybe you should pick your terminology better. Saying it doesn't have a powertrain warranty means just that ......no motor, tranny or driveline warranty.


CALIBER SRT4

MSRP $25,470
Warranty


Basic - Miles 36000
Basic - Time (Months) 36
Powertrain - Miles 36000
Powertrain - Time (Months) 36
Rust-through - Miles 100000
Rust-through - Time (Months) 60

"Then "maybe you should pick your terminology better. Saying it doesn't have a powertrain warranty means just that ......no motor, tranny or driveline warranty"

Dude what is your problem? do you just want to pick a fight? do you have nothing better to do? I already told you that by the term 'power train warranty' i meant just that viz., the power train warranty. I cannot be held responsible for you assuming that i meant something else by those terms. i already said that if you knew the distinction between the types of warranties (like you claim you do) you would not be so ready to assume that what i meant something different. Further, if you read my post you would know that i was shopping around for both the CSRT4 and ss/tc and that the warranty was a major factor for me. Dont you think that i would have known that the CSRT4 came with a new car warranty? If you had stopped to think about that you might not have been so quick to judge. Dont you think other people went on Dodge's website and found the exact same info as you? But they were smart enough to put 2 and 2 together to realize what i meant unlike you.... and if you didnt understand what i meant you could have just asked for clarification instead of trying to look smart... Geez dude, get a life already and stop trying to troll on other peoples posts because you have nothing better to do........

they have powertrain warrenty's just not the life time warrenty like every other dodge

you know i thought about it but i am 20 years old with a full time job and going to school full time. if i get either one of the two cars and put $11,000 down than my payments will be cheap enough so i can move out in a couple years.

belive me if i could get teh 370z............. i would lol

fyi there are SRT-4's 05 and older that still sell for $17,000-$18,000 with low miles. My brother bought his SS/TC for i think $25,000 and I've seen 08 SS/TC's sell for $17,000-$18,000 a year later. gtfo.

08 SRT4s sell for 16-18k as well, the rare low mile/unmolested neon SRT is the exception to the rule.

You are the one making the argument that low mileage neon SRTs are worth a lot, you figure it out.

honestly the evo is way to over priced for what it is..... 36 k..... from a roll the ss or srt would **** all over it stock vs stock......but from a dig the evo would win.... i do alot more roll races crusing with all my friends and their vw's and audi's

And personally... if i didnt have to worry about winter driving or didnt care if i bought used... i woulda taken a 350z easily if i could find the right price
i want to like them, i really do. my neighbor just bought an 08.5 ms3, on my advice. guess i told her too many times that would be the other non-camaro i'd consider if my cobalt met an untimely end. the smile hurts the 10 speed3s, and that gawdawful red fake carbon fiber trim, and repeated red dotted-swirly pattern on the seats and door panels has got to go.
