I went and bought a 2007 Dodge Caliber since i did this to my 2004 Neon R/T ( 2.o HO, 5MT).

Kinja'd!!!

Its got 200000km on it and I dislike the CVT, but it was the cheapest thing i had on the lot. Being a car salesman does have occasional advantages.

Edit: Leaks coolant and pulls hard to the right.

That looks like a bad day for the neon. Did that really total it out? Also I hope you enjoy the Caliber. Personally I had a rough experience with on as a rental.

What broke? It looks like a new bumper skin is all that it needs at a glance.

Bumper cover, leaking radiator, and some slightly bent suspension items.

The cheapest vehicle you had on the lot was literally the highest caliber? Swanky! Sorry to see the Neon...singed a bit around the edges.

I initially read it as the caliber leaked coolant and pulled hard to the right.

I like it. I’ve always liked calibers.

Sorry for your loss man. Hey, once the Caliber is out of warranty, you should see if it’s possible to do an SRT4 and 5MT swap into it. Might make a good sleeper haha.

Caliber looooong out of warranty. And the SRT swap sounds interesting.

There are a few SRT 4 Calibers floating around the province. Hopefully one ends up in a junkyard with powertrain intact.
