Hey I have a 2002 pt cruiser limited edition with 55000 miles on it, I've been wondering if if was worth upgrading and modding it or swapping to like an srt 4 or pt turbo engine or just leave it, add a little bit of stuff and then sell it, it does take alot of gas when I go fast

Why mod a pt cruiser

eternal cairn Jun 19, 2024, 1:20 AM

#

Good question

#

Ig because I'm dumb idk tbh

#

Don't really wanna sell it because I know it won't sell for enough to get a new car that I can mod better

eternal cairn Jun 20, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

Anyone know where I can find the parts?

well that'll depend on where you live, budget and how much work you wanna put in as well as how good you want your results to be

@eternal cairn sell it. mod an hhr/ssr or something, they're just better. Pt cruisers tend to be quite cheap in any condition

How much do you think I could get out of the pt cruiser is amazing condition and bow much would an hhr or ssr cost in Pennsylvania?

#

I just looked at them and why do they look like that😭

#

I just wanna upgrade the car because I don't want to be kinda like everyone else

#

I kinda also just want a budget fast car

#

i hate to break it to ya but pt cruisers are kinda junk. You would have to spend over what it's worth to make it a fast well-performing car. They go for like $7k on a good day in good shape

#

Damn so expensive lol

pine comet Jun 24, 2024, 1:07 AM

#

naw just anything between 1998 and 2012

eternal cairn Jun 24, 2024, 1:22 AM

#

Oh alright

#

Any suggestions?

pine comet Jun 24, 2024, 7:40 PM

I'd recommend any low-ish mileage (150,000 or less) ex Police Interceptor Crown Victoria made between '98 and 2012. You want the Police Interceptor variant due to its higher horsepower output. You can tell it is an ex-Police Interceptor by a number of ways. The grille is blacked out (black plastic/metal). Police interceptor badging on the trunk (i think?). There could be a push-bar on the front end. The rims are most likely steel wheels, with either center hub caps or plastic covers. There's usually a spotlight on the driver's side A-pillar, right above the mirror. The interior has a desk-like surface on the center-console, and brackets for radios and other equipment might be present. The rear doors might not have interior handles. Keep in mind that these visual cues aren't exactly present on ALL of them, but all of them have at least ONE of these items. The seller would also most likely advertise this when selling. Looking at examples for sale on Craigslist in New York, they tend to go for $6-10k, which is just about worth it. Just remember that they aren't really fuel efficient lol.

#

That has to be a scam

pine comet Jun 24, 2024, 11:32 PM

#

ad listing is 4 years old, and it looks modded. I'd buy one unmodded so you know the car.

#

Go to autotempest.com, put in "ford" as brand, crown victoria/police interceptor as model, and your location with the desired distance away. You can fine tune your search under "advanced search".
