Hey everyone, im brand new to the forums and everything, but Im seriously thinking about buying an SRT6 in about 3 or 4 weeks and I just wanted to ask some questions from people who already own this car. It has 58,000 miles and is 12,000 dollars so it sounds like an amazing deal, just some concerns. If this beast does break down on me(being its mostly Mercedes) how much will repairs costs me, and also what are some common problems that SRT6's usually will have. Tuesday im getting a diagnostic done on the whole car. I just want some advice and feedback from some experienced owners.
Thanks

 

Inner Cooler pump goes bad, small oil leaks around valve covers, crankshaft position sensor fails, relay control module has poor solder joints, so it will fail. You need to do your homework and read thru the threads on here. There are sticky notes about how to's on you fixing these problems yourself. Whomever is doing the diagnostics on this car better know the car or you are wasting your money. Most dealers know absolutely nothing about the car, and Mercedes won't work on them. $12K is a steal.....btw...all the above mentioned problems WILL happen sooner or later...important to know and understand their fixes. All can be done by you for under $500.00...a dealer, 10x that amount if they can figure it out...good luck

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What OleDoc said but add:

Transmission leak at connector bushing. This too you can fix yourself for under $25.....I did.





Ooops..... sorry for the typ O

 

Right!.....lol.....

 

YIKES !!!!

Glad I caught it quick.

 

Haha, and thanks guys i appreciate the fast responses, and ill be sure to look into everything i possibly can

 

Too funny, wouldn't be the first time I was called that....lol.....hopefully the guy
does some reading... He's stealing it at 12k...

 

Beware:you will soon start spending money on modifications........can't......control........

 

Yea i know, all ive been doing is looking and researching about the SRT6 for months and i finally have a chance to get one. And like you im super surprised i found a beautiful one at 12,000

 

I think someone else had been looking at this one a few weeks ago (Florida ) but I hav'nt been able to find the post.

 

That was the one I was going to look into if he didn't buy it....well, you snooze you lose...lol...Hope it works out....

 

It says 14,900 but its 12,000 now. So there is no confusion

 

I don't think that is the same one, but another at $12k isn't good news. Besides, I have one just like that one....lol....good luck...looks great...

 

Looks nice. Get them to provide you with the CARFAX pronto !!!

 

Thanks dude, and yea after I test drove it that was the first thing i asked for. And everything was clean on it

 

Haha thanks Bro I appreciate it . I hope everything goes well. Im keepin my fingers crossed

 

I found the other one I saw listed in Florida not too long ago for $12,000....it was Black and traded in by a forum member to Cocoa FL (Caviar Dreams) He made a rant about what a POS the car was and told us not to buy it from them. Then removed his post.
Yet, he had tried to sell it here on the forum before trading it in... ....so stay away from that one.

 

LOL...usually because no one ever fixed the problems to begin with...where is it at? I am thinking 10K...now...lol...

 

instead of looking at what could be wrong maybe you should read this ,,,jim
