It seems a lot of owners on this forum try and keep their mileage low. I am not sure what I should do. I have a daily driver (Caterra) that I was thinking about selling and just using the SRT as my driver. If I keep the Caterra and use it just in the winter, I could keep the mileage on the SRT down to about 6-8k a year. However, that means renting an extra garage and insuring an extra vehicle. The SRT has 12 months of bumper to bumper warranty left, in addition, the car has been certified and also carries the 8yr/80,000 powertrain warranty from the original in service date. Just keeping the mileage low seems to defeat the purpose of the warranties on the car.
Do any of you think there will be a significant difference in the pricing of these cars in the next 5-6 years, especially if the mileage is kept to a minimum.
I paid $19,000 for this car, certified and with remaining bumper to bumper with 3,981 miles on it. I think I got a good deal, I just want to do what is most cost effective while still having a great driving experience for the next 5-6 years.
There seems to be three philosophies here. Those that use them as daily drivers because they can't see leaving them in the garage, those that mainly race them, and those that like to keep the miles low and only drive them on a special occasion. I prefer to keep my SRT-6 garaged clean and bring it out on special occasions. Sometimes that's not easy.
