    Re: How easy to turbo a 'regular' PT?

    Oh, that's right. You got an 'in' at the dealer auctions, right? What do PT's usually go for? Though, it may not matter anymore since I need a car that car go 3-wide in the back...

    I got rid of the "in" and got my own license.
    What year do you want to get? Theres on 03 for $3500, an 04 for $4000, an 06 for $6500, and an 07 in a cool orange color for $7800. Those prices are approx based on past sales.

    And if you need something bigger, I can get all the Chryslers and Fords easy.

    An 03 turbo for $3500? That orange is the color I want, though.

    06 18k - $18k 4x4
    06 40k - $15-16k 4x4
    05 - not much to choose from

    Theres not as many hemis to choose from as I thought there would be. None that I saw in 4x2s, but most seem to want 4x4s anyway. Those prices should be a few thousand below market value (after all, thats how these dealers make money).

    How about the old Jeep Cherokees? I'd want something from '97-00 (with the new interior at least). What do they go for? Or do they even have vehicles that old?

    I'd also consider a Liberty CRD. Ever seen one for auction?

    Oddly enough, i would probably own a PT Cruiser by now if they were more minivan-like.. if only they had put about another foot or 1.5 ft behind the rear doors..

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    The Hahn kit with the 4spd Auto was still a turd and a PIA to work on.I hated that freakin thing when we where developing stuff for it.Its probally why I hate PT's so freakin much.Now the 5spd ones ran great.just save yourself the hassle and buy a factory Turbo one.

    How about a 2.4 2wd Liberty with SRT power? That would be fun.

    I was just wondering the other day if you could swap a 2.4SRT engine into a Prowler? That would be a pretty sweet ride...
