Default Just bought a 1996 SC400

Hey Guys,

Im obviously new here. A week ago, I was driving my 1998 Dodge Avenger, I was doing about 70mph and a deer ran out in front of me. I just found out today that the car is totalled. I went to a dealer to look at a SRT-4 I was hoping to buy, and realized how much insurance would be for those boosted eco-neons.

I saw a SC400 on the lot, looked at it for a little. Loved it, took it for a ride.. and it's mine- just gotta wait until Monday to pick it up- so no pics as of yet.

Its a 1996 with 70k on it. Its black, the paint is in great condition. It has black leather, and pretty much every option available. The interior is beautiful. Gold lettering, gold exhaust tips. I cant wait to get this car and start doing some mods..probably nothing serious, just tint, system, possibly drop, etc. I picked it up for $12500- KBB'd @ $15500.

As far as the Avenger, I'm going to miss it but I am deffinitly glad I am moving up. The Avenger was my first car, not the fastest car but it was good looking. I had a Flowmaster exhaust, 3" drop (it was TUCKING), rims, tint, system.. I have to go take some stuff out of it tomorrow- Its going to be sad saying good bye and Im not looking forward to it.

I do have one question though, whats the SC400 run in the 1/4? Not really planning on racing or anything, just curious.

Thanks

Welcome to the club. You will love the car. My only regret is not buying one sooner.
