I stopped just to look at this and snap a quick picture. It's awesome and really looks better than it ever did. This was a loaded SXT plus with the V6 and auto tranny, but all in all seems like a good deal. They're asking a hair under $34k.

For ~$35k+, I'd prefer to have something with a V8. It does look pretty good though.

V8s are very slowly moving into the $40k bracket anyway. They'll be locked up there by the time the new challenger gets here. But as a consequence, the 4 and 6 cylinder cars end up having to offer more to justify their presence in the $30k bracket now. We will get a turbo pentastar Challenger for the next generation. Mark my words...

I haven't shopping for Challengers in awhile, but can't you get a V8 for that kind of money?

That's very true. A Mustang GT optioned how I would want it is in the low-mid 40's. However. You can get a "base" 2015 GT for less than the aforementioned V6 Challenger.

You can also get a V8 Challenger for less. He did say that particular V6 was loaded.

I did a review of the SXT two years ago. Nice car with decent power, but when the hemi R/T starts at $30,495 it's a tough sell. Even with some options the R/T would be the same money as the V6 car.

Its sad how expensive cars are now, I bought my 2003 Mustang GT with every possible option brand new out the door at 27k.

Eh, some of that is 12 years worth of inflation.

Exactly. It had leather, sunroof, the big uconnect touchscreen setup, basically every available option.

"You spend

$500

more in fuel costs

over 5 years

compared to the average new vehicle. "

Worth it.

Absolutely. That's only $100 a year, or $8.33 or so per month. I could deal with that.

Your posts are tripping me out. That's where I bought my first car. It used to be Jenkins Chrysler.
