Default Re: Fair Price for an SRT-6 Coupe

Great price. I got a similar deal back in January.

I doubt that the tires are run flats. They don't come with them standard, that would mean someone changed to them.

I had run flats on my Z4. Picked up a nail that caused a slow leak at 2,500 miles. I tried to get it patched and could find no one to fix it. It seems that if a run flat is run FLAT for any distance the sidewalls break down. Even though my tires never got flat I had to replace it. I called Bridgestone on this and they insisted that they weren't saying it couldn't be fixed, just that they recommended replacement. I tried multiple shops and they all said the same thing. The cost of a new tire is a big price to pay for run flats.

By the way they ride much "stiffer" and don't handle quite as well.
