<br /><br />I know, I know, its a glorified Neon!,, But this one is "Really" Glorified!<br /><br />When the PT Cruiser first came out, (2001), the wife liked them, I said, "Well, lets at least wait untill the turbos come out". So we waited. Then in 2002 the Dream cruiser came out. They made about 3,000 of them. Then in 2003, they came out with the Tangerine Dream cruiser and she saw one once, and said, "Wow", I want one! Anyway, we couldnt aford one then, as they were around $27,000.00 and I wasnt paying that for a PT for any reason. Life has been tough the last couple years, but things have taken a turn for the better and we were able to start looking at cars again. I did everything I could do to steer her in any other direction, but to no avail! So started looking for a used 2003 Dream Cruiser with a 5 SP. Seems that they only made very few 5 Sp DC2s. But as luck would have it, we found this one, 5 Sp. and all. It only had 23,100 miles. All the Dream Cruisers are fully loaded, this one even has Satilite radio and its # 0900. I cant beleive that I actually like this little car, Neon or not. Its turboed, and has plenty of zip. I aint sayin how much we paid for it, but it is paid for. My insurance company loves me!

I took her to look at one, and would actually rather she did, but she didnt like the tail lights??????????????????????????????????? :confused: I just think that was an excuse because she already knew what she wanted.Could have bought a brand new HHR for what we paid for this one.<br /><br />Anyway, changed all the fluids out today, Amsoil all the way through. Sure glad I got to the trans when I did, it was really sparkly. Not surprised though, Only holds a little over two quarts of ATF. If I would have bought it new, I would have changed it and the oil at 1,000 miles.
