Question found a srt4, worth buying?

hey guys. im new to srt4s.

and i found one randomly on cl, its at a dealer though.
small dealer but still a dealer.

well first of its a 2005 srt4 with 35,xxx miles on it.
has mods such as:
bigger turbo
bigger injecters
possibly a after market fuel pump
some exhaust
cold air intake
huge intercooler
CAMS?
the guy asking for 10k for it.
it has an engine light code for p0172 *i think* but its for too rich.
may have other codes. havnt brought it into the shop yet.

btw i work at a dodge dealer so that could help to get parts and such
the guy bought it from somone who but the mods in it.

has a very rough idle witch would make sense. and the clutch was really hard like just wanted to force it self up.

i drive a honda civic 5spd (dont hate, haha) but i was woundering if this was even worth my time.

i would love to have an str4 for a good price that would last while i drive back and forth to school.

let me know what you guys think. anything i should look for also?

Can't give you too much details on the cars, as I myself am looking at snaggin one if I can find a decent one with low miles. Most people say to stay away from the modded ones and try and find a bone stock one. This way they are less likely to be abused and tinkered with by a back yard mechanic, which sounds like the one you found.

I will be looking for a stock one and then throw the stage 3 on it!

Hope that helps...

What part of PA are you from? I'm around the Reading area.

Check the Lancaster Craigslist, saw a few on there stock and from a dealer. Also check autotrader around the reading area. 6-7 popped up for me within 50 miles of reading.
