Common Problems
Im new here, test drove an SRT6 this weekend, trying to get financing now. Ive been researching for a few months but just came across this website. cant find much on problems with the car besides the IC going. anything else I should be weary about?
btw $14900 for 55k miles. It is mint condition, but after coming here seems like that might be kind of high?

Offered 13.5k, hes not budging from 14.9, new tires all around. its a great car, i was looking at a few different cars, s2000, g35, gto, 350z...after driving this car my mind is made up. its got some serious ***** under the hood, great looking, as you all know.
how many drive all year? im in MA right now with winter coming, have a FWD car all paid for, but moving to VA in may so could see this being an all year round car. btw dont get the wrong idea, im not rich or spoiled, paying my way through college and want to treat myself with this car

A year ago, you could buy one for $13K even $12K "cause a lot of folks were upside down on their car, their house, or their habits, and needed to unload something.
KBB values were dropping crazy .
With credit tight, not many deals unless you got well under the bluebook or had cash. A serious and fertile buyers's market.
Things are a little better today and the KBB on the car is stable.
There will always be somebody braggin' about a better deal.
If the car checks out and boils you blood a little, grab on to sumpin and go for it.
Roadster with a stick.
BTW I'm Older than 32 Krazy(by a lot) so take this old guy's advice. Life is for those willin' to live it.

I paid $16K for my mint 32K mile SSB SRT in May. New tires, good service record and not a scratch on it. I didn't get a smokin hot deal but I am so stoked with the car that I 'bought for my wife'
that the purchase price doesn't matter to me any more

I paid 18.9 for my black roadster with 29k back in June. I do not regret it for 1 second. The only other car I drove that got me feeling anywhere as good was an 02 BMW M3. But it had triple the miles and wasn't a convertible so I went with the X-fire. GL on your purchase and enjoy.

Bought a SRT Roadster this past winter, but picked it up in April. Paid $15,600 from a Chrysler dealer in Minnesota who sold it new, then took it back in trade. I absolutley love it and I have owned a bunch of cars over the years. For what you get, the SRTs are alot of bang for the buck! Overlooked by many.
If the car checks out (do a Carfax), the price sounds with in reason. It's not like you can go down the street to another dealer for a better deal. These cars are scattered through out the country. Chasing a better deal will cost you too. My $.02.......

I bought my convertible SRT-6 back in jan of 08 for 16.5K. I got a great deal I know, only had 32k on the clock. I drove the **** out of it the past two years now it has 72K on it. Up til last week it ran like brand new. Just had a water pump failure. But Im still not discouraged. I would have paid 20K for it so I still feel like Im ahead even after I pay the $900.00 to get the pump replaced.
Buy it and enjoy it! You will not find another car with that much power and engineering for less than 20K I dont know of another car for less than 20K that can do the 1/4 in 12 sec, and 0-60 in 4 sec. Invest a little more and you got an 11 sec car, that will smoke most everything else out there
