Today's UCOTD is an oldie -- and it could be a goodie, if you can fix it. It's a 2003 Dodge Neon SRT-4 that needs some TLC.


There are almost 100K miles on this car, which is currently non-running. The seller thinks the issue is related to fuel delivery. It's clear from the photos that the paint needs some work.

There are, of course, mods. Such as side exhaust, 12-inch subwoofer, and an aftermarket turbo.

This Ohio-based ride is on sale for $3,750.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    "Will easily dust a 16yo Accord"


    No, it won't. Did you miss the part about it not running?

    As a kid, I thought these were so cool. As an adult, I understand that buying any modern Chrysler product is a trap.

  • Dave M. I'm sorry to see any storied name go away. The lifespan of the Malibu has fit perfectly in my lifetime years-wise. Some of the highlights include the first and second generations, the '78 revamp (very clean design), and the 2005 generation. Ford, GM and Mopar gave this segment away by allowing Toyota and Honda a foot in the door and then always having to play catch-up. How hard is it to make a truly competitive sedan at a profit? Obviously, Japan Inc. figured it out.I've driven a few rentals these past years; the Malibu got the job done but honestly the Passat and Altima were my rental preferences.
  • Kcflyer actually yes. It's a shame that a product this uncompetitive can still outsell GM's entire EV offerings. Those products have had billions thrown at them. Imagine how nice the new Malibu, Impala, SS, and Lacrosse would be with that kind of commitment.
  • 3SpeedAutomatic Nope....
  • Bd2 Looking forward to flooding the rental lots with Hyundai and Kia models, this is just one obstacle now eliminated.
  • Kcflyer keep the color. lose the stupid front design. make it reliable, at least as reliable as a base 911. Then and only then is it somewhat worthy of that price.
