Default Tell Pizza what to do!

'05 SRT6 Coupe in the only color that I want (Graphite) with 66273 miles. Very clean under the hood and better then I expected, cosmetically, inside and out. Three owners, been in GA for a few years (when it was in PA and MI, it was not driven much at all).

Looks all stock, no oil seepage, no sign of transmission leak (and the CarFax shows service under warranty a few years ago to "check oil leak"....)

Transmission won't come outta park without the tool. Up/Down shift doesn't not work well, I can tell the microswitches are mis-aligned, I've seen this before.... Other than that, the test drive was fine -handles well, and has every HP it should have. (I drove an SRT Roadster at Carmax last year that seems to have about as much pep as my N/A).

On a used car lot that sells luxury used cars - it's the cheapest car on the lot at $11,999.

Price is not TOO far off, is it? I'm thinking it's fair -but Ivan found an SRT just like it with like 45,000 for the same money........ I can't help but think if I buy this one, I'll see the Graphite Roadster of my dreams next week for $10,000

Don't do it.
You are a roadster guy, don't go over to the dark side ......

Yea, but if I do something stupid with that 349hp, having a real roof might be a good thing....

Depends... the Roadster will probably get you more attention everywhere... which includes the track where they won't like you running around as quick as the car's potential allows without a proper roof... but you also benefit from the attention at the car shows

I'd go for the lesser mileage car (that probably doesn't have the same problems) for the same money. I bought my SRT about 18 months ago with 86K on it for 10K, so 12K with 20K less miles doesn't sound too far off.

Also, if it's really what you want, get it. If you see one for 10K, will there be another in a couple of weeks for 9K? Who knows - just do wha't right for Pizza

Good luck!!

Well, my N/A roadster gets all the attention I need.... it just doesn't go as fast as I want to at times....

Just not sure about his price - it's really not a bad deal, but it's not the deal I (Roadster) I want!

^^^^^^^ +1
Thought it was my computer acting up since I'm on a "locked down" work computer. Will check when I get home, but for the rest of the day I'll be using my Droid

The forum is definitely jacked up. Pizza, wait for the roadster. Although I loved my SRT-6 coupe, I always wished it didn't have the permanent top. I'm a happy camper with '6 roadster.

P.S. Looks like they fixed the forum

I know you and the other are right, Ivan.
I think I've known it all week - why else didn't I jump on it?

But remember - my N/A roadster ain't going nowhere!

As long as you're keeping the roadster, I say do it!

Oh and you do realize the windows go down on a coupe. The wind blows through your hair the same as a roadster, right?

Hehe, not quite the same. I wish I could have kept both the coupe and the roadster, but the front of my house was starting to look like a used car lot.
