:>I am about to buy a 2004 Svt Hatchback with all the options for about
All SVT models are hatchbacks. Is this a 3 door or a 5 door? Euro Package? Color? My '04 is a Sonic Blue 5 door with the European Appearance Package. There were only 48 built in that exact combination.
:>$13,000. 30,000 miles but seems well cared for. Any advice on the :>following questions:
The mileage seems a bit high but I'm a low mileage driver myself so that probably isn't bad for a car that could have been on the road for over 2 years now. I've got around 18,000 on mine bought in February of '04.
:>1. Any known issues or things I should watch for?
Not really. The '04 models seem to have pretty much got all the bugs out. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and other than routine service it's never had any repairs done on it.
:>2. Does this seem like a decent deal?
Hard to tell since I bought mine new and am in no hurry to get rid of it, I really don't have a feel for resale value. Is this through a dealer or private party?
:>3. I will need all season tires that can handle snow--any suggestions?
Can't help you there. I live in the Phoenix, AZ area so I rarely see snow. :-)
:>4. Other advice?
YES! Go to
