I then drove 2 more hours to look at another one after asking specific questions on the phone - another POS. Headed home, pissed and tired. The very next day, I found the SRT I now own .... and it was another 3 hour one way trip ... but at a dealer. When I called them about it, I told them I didn't care about what was "right" with the car, I wanted to know all that was WRONG with it because it was only about $1500 more than the N/As I looked at the day before. Salesman said it was pristine ... and he was right. I got VERY lucky and couldn't be happier with my decision to buy it. Keep looking - there are great Xs out there - several are for sale on the forum and you'll be getting a well cared for car by buying from a member. Don't be afraid to travel - a few hundred bucks in travel money may save you thousands by getting a much better maintained car. Good luck on your search - wish you all the best!!

yeah...I appreciate the reinforcement...I have been looking now more then ever after being let down...it's like..challenge accepted lol...I just can't believe that this douchebag with a popped collar and sunglasses on would tell me that the car is pristine and needs nothing and list it on eBay and CL and tell me that it's beautiful. ..I was pissed..but it's motivating...but I can't believe the blue book value vs what dealers want...I love the art of the deal but it's very frustrating..it's either way to high priced..to many miles...or not the right color combo ..and i want a stick....what do u think of this car?
