New SRT-6
I've been a member here since 2005, bought my wife a Crossfire coupe back in 2004, she drove it for 9 years before selling it. I loved that car but man it was a lot of work. Any of you that have owned one for a period of time will know what I'm saying.
I personally changed in those 9 years the smog pump, alternator, steering key lock, headliner, transmission harness seals, oil level indicator, seat heater, cam position sensor, crank position sensor, repainted the console, and most of all, I dreaded changing the spark plugs. I hated that car……yet loved it at the same time.
I've always wanted an SRT-6 though. I've been looking for a long time for a prestine one, just found this one in Oklahoma, it's still like a new car. An older gentleman owned it, bought it in 2010 with 15,000 miles on it, and rarely drove it. I think that's it's almost too nice to modify it, just keep it pure.

Congratulations on the new SRT, really nice car. I left the about in quotes, just so you'll know all the wonderful experience you'll have with your new X-fire and the new adventures waiting in the wings. Enjoy and dance even if no one is watching.

That's funny.....also the reason that I waited until I found a low mileage one, trying to delay the pain....

I hope your assumption is correct. Low mileage doesn't assure you of repair free driving. Things, gaskets, mechanical things tend to not function correctly from lack of use. But while you have no problems, enjoy the hell out it and as they say, drive like you stole it.

It does look good. Pristine ones in original condition are rare. DTMenace has a real beauty, I think the only mod to his is a custom "dead" pedal that looks original. Me on the other hand have replaced or modified everything on it and I do mean everything. I can't think of anything that hasn't been "touched".

Total mileage I put on both is around 35,000 miles, the SRT has about that on it now.
From my experience I'd say they are pretty reliable. The people who have trouble have purchased cars with high mileage, bad maintenance or have bad luck.
Some of these cars have been abused and neglected from day one by every owner they have had and the current owners wonder why they have trouble, blame the past owners not the car.
