Smiles per hp per lbs per dollar is my goto metric

Colour’s nice, though

I love that color on the Charger/Challenger. I really want a Hellcat Widebod y Charger in that color.

I see multiple Scatpacks for $32k or so.

and a whole lot more for $35k (MSRP - 45-50k)

Nice car, but not 37k nice.

You might be able to get a brand new Stinger GT for about that much money. Yes it has less power, but overall I think its a better car.

Unless you need the two additional doors, take the Challenger Scat Pac k instead. Same motor and platform and still plenty of space , but i t’s the only way to get a proper transmission.

Definitely a great colour.

Though if it was me, I would get a base RWD GT V6, which is still plenty fast for day to day use. And they’re cheap!!! Here’s a new Charger GT for only US$22,000

Kinja'd!!!

485HP is great... but I’d rather have 292 HP and an extra $15,000 in the bank (or $15,000 less in debt).

Good, but t here are cheaper ones. 2019s are practically unchanged vs 2018 or even 2017s I believe.

Eh, I’m not so sure I’d miss having a manual in my DD.

I’m not sure if I could stomach spending this much on a car. I’m just day dreaming about being able to spin tires while avoiding work...lol

I put about 1000 miles on a rental Scat Pack and loved every minute. I had rented Charger R/T’s in the past and liked them, but the 392 is a whole nother loaf of bread. That and the lovely 8 speed transmission. I love these cars. If I bought one, I’d probably end up with an SRT version so I could have adjustable suspension, HID headlights, and radar cruise. The only thing I want more than a Charger SRT is a Durango SRT (except that they don’t offer the SRT with 7 seats...)

This is like a local carmax type dealer. artificially high prices cause they move so much inventory. Cool place to go test drive a bunch of cars back to back though. You just give them your DL & insurance info and you can drive about 3 cars back to back with no salesman in the car.

It is cheap, but if I recall correctly that paint color had quality issues.. It’s also worth adding that C&D complained that their stinger GT long term car developed a slew of rattles and noises, I suspect it was an early model just like the one shown. I don’t know if later models have better build quality but I would imagine that they do.

How about $15,000 for this one ?

Or $12,000 for this one?

FCA cars are all, always, a good idea.

Agreed. The Kia will handle better and likely fall apart more slowly. Darn good looking too.

Its a no from me for 2 main reasons.

One, its typical Carmax high. Which includes their premium for their inspection process. And 2:

Kinja'd!!!

I can go down to my local Dodge dealer right now and get a brand new Scat Pack for just under $33 grand. Hell with FCA’s affinity for approving any and everyone, if you have shaky credit they even give you a low credit score incentive.

The warranty alone makes it the better buy.

I was a bit surprised by that too. No hate from me though, it gets so hot here that if your leather isn’t ventilated you get seared by the seat sitting down.

Don’t know about that. Kia’s are well made, but the Chrysler Lx-bodies are very well-made, reliable cars. Especially the V8's
