Default The Ebay "SRT6"... again

I went and checked it out last week. Car looks good other than the obvious swaps that were done with the Crossfire Limited. (brakes, wheels, seats, bumper, and a missing stereo.) I'm considering picking it up on a trade for my truck + $3k. I know it is missing a few components that make it as luxurious as the SRT's but I figure for 3 grand I will be in a supercharged crossfire.

I started it up and the serpentine belt was making a grinding noise so it is going to a Chrysler dealership for a full inspection before I make my final decision. After that it will cost me $1500 for a new warranty to ensure that nothing goes wrong over the next few years.

One thing that I am strongly considering is getting the brakes back up to par. Does anyone know what the original brakes or something similar would cost? I also want to do something about the seats. Do the SRT seats just have a a different cover on them or are they completely different seats? If its cheaper I would probably just get these seats reupholstered in leather/ suede.

Any information from the experts would be great. Hopefully everything works out and the car comes back cleared by the technicians.

Truck + $3000
warranty - $1700
Speakers - $200
Repaint bumper - $150
interior - $800?

$6000 estimated to put me in an 05 SRT with 22k on the tach. I think it works out to a pretty sweet deal.
