When the dealer sold it to me, he said that it comes with the 7 yr/70,000 powertrain warranty and a 3 yr/36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. IS THAT CORRECT?
I purchased the extended warranty anyways.
Hey Emthusiast, what dealership in PA (name, city and phone was that?). I will be in PA this coming holiday season and might see how desperate they are come blistery Pennsylvania winters to get rid of that last one. I'm from PA originally. My SRT-4 has been giving me some "issues" and I might trade up by selling the SRT-4 locally and getting an SRT-6 to race my wife's. (I will lose...I think there is some Andretti blood in her family line...). 27K out the door with tax license AND the extended Chrysler warranty for a new <500 miles SRT6, I'll sign up for that... Give a cost breakdown when you get a chance so I can have some ammunition for dealing with them. Base price, PA tax, license, warranty, etc...My email is:

I have seen some of the used low-miles SRT6s for around 27K on Ebay, but I need to check their history more.
The Lithia folks in Bryan, Texas already gave me the runaround in June '06 and kept my deposit for 45 days without delivering the car or paperwork. Had to nearly sue them to get my deposit back. Said they'd sell it for 26.5K, got my deposit money, then sat on it waiting to bump the price at every opportunity...
BTW - The SRT6's don't have the 7/70 powertrain warranty, at least not the 2005 model year. Limited, and the other Xfires do have 7/70 powertrain though. You were probably good in getting the extended warranty... Parts are expensive and will continue to get even worse over time. Labor is a killer too, even for "smallish" problems.
Don't forget to check to get the E-19 fan control module recall done, or at least check that is HAS been done. Affects all Xires, 32,700 of them.
If you get sluggish acceleration or responsiveness over time, it's the secondary cooling pump for the supercharger (see links, of which there are many, but the best one is titled "Sometimes Sluggish Acceleration".
