Hello, I am brand new to this forum and new to the Crossfire scene in General. I was given the chance to drive a neighbors SRT6 Roadster for a few hours this weekend. Long story short I absolutely loved the car, I loved the sound, power, feel and even got attention from other people on the road. All of this has led me to want to go out and buy an SRT6 of my own.
Here is the link to the car I am looking at. Living in Southern Cali there is only 2 SRT6's within reasonable driving distance of me that I have seen.

I am fully aware that the vehicle was salvaged and then rebuilt. I called my insurance to verify that they will insure the car and crazy enough its only 200 more annually than my daily (08 Scion tC). I also called the shop that did the alignment after the rebuild to see if anything was noted about not being able to align it properly indicating suspension or frame damage. I got told that they received it directly from the body shop (which didn't hold records earlier than 2019 so I couldn't find info from them) they said that nothing was noted about damage and would not have charged the customer if the car wasn't able to be aligned with in specs. Furthermore the previous owners length of ownership after the car was repaired leads me to believe there is not a major problem seeing that they did not dump the vehicle immediately. It appears to all be in nice shape and now I'm planning a day this week to go look at the vehicle in person. However I wanted to get a general idea of what people here think since I am new to this vehicle.
Additionally, the neighbor I mentioned has owned 3 in total(SRT6 Coupe) he still has 2 of them (SRT6 Roadster and Base Coupe) and does his own maintenance. He is all for me getting one and has even told me there is nothing wrong with these cars that we can't fix together. He has told me its a good deal as long as it was repaired right, which it appears to have been but I wanted more opinions before fully going through with it. Any advice/concerns is welcome.
Thank You
