I've been away from the forum for the past 3 years but am about to purchase a 2005 SRT-6 Areo Blue Limited Roadster. If the answer to the first question is yes, than the one I am buying is already in the database. I haven't had a chance to research this model here on the forum yet, but if anyone could tell me any issues I should check out first, I would be grateful for the information, since I have not signed on the dotted line yet :-)
Welcome back Crossfire Rose....
The serial numbers are the last 5 digits of the VIN#'s.

There were several attempts by various forum members to obtain a database from Chrysler and Karmannn in Germany to obtain the detailed listing of all 2005 and 2006 SRT6's manufactured for 2005 and 2006. Since the inquiries failed to produce a listing, SRTSIX ( a forum member) started this thread to compile a database of all SRT6's manufactured. This began over 5 years ago, and to date, we've found almost 59% of those SRT6's, with the majority found on various other sites for sale, just as your potential buy.

As far as "issues" with the SRT6's, this has been discussed numerous times, but the Inner Cooler Pump, Headlight fog over, the Crankshaft sensor, RCM issues related to soldering, and possible convertible top glass issues (on cars located in the southern states, such as Florida), failing to adhere to the top. The search button is the beginning of any resolution to any issue.

Where is the car located? Since it does not contain a forum member's name on the serial number listed, it will be difficult to obtain any specific defects on this car.

Good Luck.....
