This is a super clean low mileage SVT, build #3181.Never in an accident,nothing has ever been repainted,no rust at all anywhere.Midwest car.It has no fluid leaks at all.It has every option that was available.There are 2 very light parking lot dings on the car.One on the right front fender and one near the fuel fill door.Both are easily accessible by a paintless dent removal tech.There are a few scratches low on the right rear plastic spoiler near the right rear jack cover.Easy simple touch up.The paint shines beautifully.I had looked a long time to find one this clean.Everything works,including ice cold air conditioning.The only thing I have not checked is the cruise control.It has 4 matching tires with approx 75-80 % tread left.I bought this a while ago for both my son and I.My son was looking for a low mileage clean not altered Dodge SRT4.He just found and bought a 2005 SRT4.I like this SVT MUCH better than the SRT4,but I have no garage space for both and I will not park this or his SRT4 outdoors. The previous owner had a mouse get in his garage and it ate some of the engine harness wiring ,but mostly the wiring insulation.He said the car would stall from time to time.He brought it to his Ford dealer and he was told to change the main engine harness.He chose not to and I bought it this way.Ive only driven her in my immediate neighborhood the 4 miles that show on the trip odometer and I can not replicate a stall.She runs perfectly,and drives tight and tracks dead straight.No check engine or service lights at all on dash.Im sure the harness swap would correct the stall,if it does exist.Again ,it has not done this for me,but Im sure he had some issue stemming from the harness.Please be aware of this.He had the gnawed wiring repaired.Not well enough in my opinion or really the correct way to repair it,so I bought a complete used uncut1998 SVT contour engine harness including the injector harness(see photo).Looks like a simple swap/install.I just never set the time aside to do it.Ill include this harness with the car for the next owner to do.I paid a fortune for this used harness but a lot less than the $1200 my local Ford dealer quoted me for a new one.4 things I would do to this car to make it pure and close to perfect,would be the above mentioned 2 dings and lower spoiler scratch,the harness,remove the window tint thats on the rear window only,and replace the factory cd radio,which works perfectly but has the usual white buttons from use.She still retains her SVT floor mats,SVT owners books and her original SVT dealer brochure book.Other than the radio buttons this low mileage SVT has no wear to speak of.This could easily be the nicest SVT around.Sold as is,its not a new car. I would trailer her home to avoid any possible issue with the harness,until I did the swap.Thats me,she does run fantastic now,thats your choice.I reqiure the listed deposit to be made via paypal as soon as you win the auction.I will not wait.Please only bid what you will pay.Please submit a phone number if you send an offer.I will not accept an offer without speaking to you first.You wont find a nicer SVT for the money,clear title in hand.Thank you.
