I would think that the TE cars would be around the 9K mileage mark and the executive cars are the ones with the higher mileage. Don't know if any are lease returns since I don't know if the SRT-6 was available for leasing in the summer of '04. No doubt some of these cars were just traded in because the prior owners needed something different.
Your call if saving thousands offsets the higher mileage and potential abuse, unless you confirm like several others that the car was taken care of. Personally I would go with a lower mileage one - you get almost the full warranty and the price is still a deal even if it is higher.
Finally, no more whining about paying $25K vs $23K. Some of us paid more - a lot more!
Actually, NeverEnough noted that the track SRT6s he's seen had less than 4,000 miles.
"I believe that the Track Experience Cars are listed as some type of Demo Promo car, but I'm not sure what those build codes are. Also, most Track cars I've seen or driver have had less than 3,500 miles on them before being auctioned off."
This makes sense to me. Over a year, it would be difficult to load up 9 or 10k miles on a track. I would think a TE car would have way less than 9000 miles on the clock before DCX would auction it off. The corporate daily drivers would probably have around 10-13k miles as that is the average amount of commuting miles put on cars.
Really, I don't care. My car looks brand new and drives brand new. It's not my daily driver and I don't plan on putting more than 5000 miles per year on it. Even if it was a track ho, I'm not too concerned. After all, these were built for sport. There are a couple of members on here who beat their own cars on the track quite often and don't seem to mind. Their cars seem to be in great shape. Oh, if anything does happen to it, I've got the 8/80 warranty to back it up.
If this is going to be a daily driver and you plan on putting 12k a year on it, I'd be concerned. If it is going to be a toy then no big deal. Just get the warranty and drive it like you stole it.
