It did, however, let me do a complimentary CarFax on it, which reports everything clean *except* one accident that apparently happened about 6 months ago. It say it was a front end collision.
Any advice from SRT-6 owners, in general? Can I reasonably expect to drive one of these as a daily driver to/from work (about 15 miles each way) and use it to run errands and such? Or do most of these have somewhat low mileage because they're just not that reliable or well-suited to such things? It sure seems like they didn't hold their original value too well over the years -- so I'm wondering if there's a "catch".
First off, welcome to the forum! Secondly, there were no red SRT-6 models that came from the factory (it doesn't mean this one wasn't painted). Check under the hood and look for the supercharger (you'll see SRT-6). Look to see if it has a fixed wing or if it is retractable (you cannot miss the SRT-6 wing).
SRT-6 will definitely give you a kick in the pants when you hit the accelerator. The N/A (non-supercharged model) still has nice acceleration and handles quite well.
