Default SRT-6: Looking for buying advice

I've had my Limited Roadster for less than a month, but for some reason in the last few days I started searching for SRT-6s for sale. I think I might be sick. Should I ask for buying advice from people who know them well, or should I see a doctor?

This one came up for sale but had sold within two days of listing: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=509021212

I'm communicating about this one now https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=513188749 I've never attached pictures before but I'll try to put up some he ZIP'ed me.

I'm looking for sage SRT-6 buying advice. What would you experienced guys look for? Mileage cap? I'm not one of those guys who intends to modify it like crazy. I don't want to put on a bigger pulley for instance. I was thinking:
1) Eurocharged ECU tune
2) Eurocharged TCU tune
3) NeedsWings r193/r170 Cat Delete Downpipes

If you could specifically look at the two cars above and critique them, both positive & negative, that would help too. I'll see if I can attach those pictures now. I've asked the seller AGAIN for chassis pictures but not received them. Is that a red flag?

Thanks guys, Matt

I assume by chassis pictures you mean engine bay pictures.

No. Since they're a VW dealer I asked them to put it up on a lift and take pictures of the chassis from below the car. I asked for engine pictures and those came immediately. I've asked for the chassis pictures a second time. Not only no pictures, not even a reply. I received a "stock" do you require any more information email, but no chassis pictures.

Here are the chassis shots I asked for. Not the size I'd hoped for. What do you guys think? Should I wait for something better?
Do I need to be more concerned about mileage with an SRT-6 since the engine is more highly stressed, or does it mostly come down to how well the car has been maintained? I guess this car doesn't exactly scream "garage kept", does it?

Can't comment on the cars you're looking at, but I'm just curious, have you driven one yet ? Once you do, there's no looking back.........................you'll have to have one !
It's called the "permagrin"
