They rub ever so slightly in the front when fully turned. The cupholder was broken off (ha) and it was missing the lower right front grill.

Here's the story of the car: Bought in October 2004. Guy drives it in Florida until he moves to the Woodlands (nice suburn in NW Houston) in 2006. Brings car in to dealer in early 2006 with 6500 miles, orders a new remote keyfob at this time and has the radiator fan replaced under warranty. He brings it in for service at the dealer until this last week on Tuesday on a flatbed at the dealer.

The guy had taken it to a Lambo dealer to trade it in, and the Lambo dealer didn't want it. He called the owner of the Chrysler dealer and they work out some deal and the dealer agrees to buy it for some undisclosed amount.

I'm thinking this dealer bought it for like $17k tops. I'm pretty sure Lambo boy took any amount the dealer wanted to give him. I have his name though, I could look him up....

Also! I'm trading in an 06 Dodge Ram with 17k miles, power everything, 20s, Sirius, etc. and they offered me $12,000. I was like are you serious?!??! KBB trade in is like 16k! Buyout is $12,200 on it. I told my sales guy that if he could finance $19k all said and done I would drive home in the car. He looked realllly excited, had me sign a sheet saying that I would and then came back with a form for a 2006 new coupe. I gave him the WTF face and said I wanted the used SRT. The used car manager came over and said that they best he could do is $12,500 for the truck and $23 even for the SRT. This meant financing almost $24k. I said to call me before you wholesale and gave him my card.

That cheap SRT in Dallas has 35,000 miles and didn't meet reserve at $15,800 with a buy it now at $18k.

Dealer in San Antonio has an SRT with 15k miles, they are going to give me a call back tomorrow morning.
