The three posts above this are spot on.
A driver is NOT a project.
That said, I bought a SRT-4 new in '02 as my daily driver and aside from buying tires for it all the time
, it's been a great daily driver. The only change I made was different wheels/tires. 30mpg on the freeway, and it ran a 14.2 with both of the child seats in the back
.
You may be able to get one for about 10G now, just make sure it's stock.
