BigT Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 My friend is looking at this. Anybody have any thoughts on it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SRT-8-10K-IN-EXTRAS-MINT-LOW-MILES-LOOK_W0QQitemZ120108443897QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6199QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I feel like it might be bogus. About $10,000 under invoice barely used. Anybody else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ehhhh modded and only 1600 miles - what issues did the owner encounter? Probably botched something and it's running like shit. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thats what I told him. Sounded to me like he F'ed up a tune. It is stock tune right now. I think he overtuned and broke something. Why else would he be at stock selling for a $10,000 discount WITH mods? Esentially this is a new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have to agree it sounds like a awesome deal......... To good if you know what I mean, as others have stated.......move on;) If you know someone local that could really check the car out & that you trusted it would be a different story.

Barrok Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 MSRP is around $35k on a srt-8. Then add in the navigation costs and such, probably stickered for $38 or so. So asking 35k doesn't seem crazy to me. You are just avoiding the "mark-up" alot of moron dealers do. I would look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 True..... But not with that extensive of a mod list....... The guy has very close to 50K into that car if he had someone do the work for him. Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrok Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Well, I wouldn't discount it based on the price asking. If it is true he has 15k over sticker into it, then asking MSRP doesn't seem to wacky for me. Then again, I don't think I would ever buy a performance vehicle used, I would rather be the one jacking the car up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 GraysonSubaru works at a dealership. Contact him, I don't know if he has any Chargers, but he did have SRT8 Jeeps, which are quicker and handle slightly better than the Charger SRT8. .

I heard that they do worse on the slalom test than the Prius He was really looking for the CTS V, but we saw this at the auto show. I thought it was a bit cooler. Extremely ugly interior, but hey it's American. You guys think he should wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigT Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 I know this is going to get it started again, but from what I understand braking distance is about tires. DO those 4 pot brembos front and rear help it stop more than just tires? I guess my real question is would brembo's/upgraded pads help my car stop faster?

sexylegacy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I watched an SRT-8 run at the track and the best it could pull was a 14.0 flat quarter. They're too heavy. For a sport utility, the SRT-8 jeep is really cool looking though. I'd roll one if I could afford to drop the pathfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The price is not that great anyway. That car unmolested is worth 37,500. He wants 35? That is a 2 grand discount for all his headaches. Notice he claims the warranty is still existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
