Ohhh. I found a black one...that was like 10K less. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE the purple, but not sure if I love it $10K worth. That is a lot of cash monies.

True point. Maybe you could just win the lottery?

Also, what’s the muscle car version of ricey? Because that’s it. Still, for $26k, not bad.

Yeah it does look a bit whack. But that is a LOT of car for the price.

There are some other options if you lived in a better city. Well, minus the ‘Shwa option.

Mileage didn’t seem to drop the price all that much. The one with 96K kms was only like $2K less than the one that “was ricey” with 45K kms.

I sold my 2010 SRT8 for $29K 2.5 years ago.

Kinja'd!!!

The car is nowhere as good as you might think it is but I’m with you Purple is the way to go. They only offered the plum crazy on the SRT8 for 1 year it was a limited edition color only 250 purple SRT8's I think for Canada. There was none available when I bought mine and it would for sure explain the spike in price since it is a numbered car.

The one up top as an SRT8 where this black one is an R/T two completely different cars. 10K difference makes a lot of sense.

I didn’t call it ricey, I said it was the muscle car version of ricey. But yeah, fair point.

Also, there’s only one for sale in Ottawa. It’s a Plum Purple SRT8. It looks pretty sweet.

Elaborate on “is nowhere as good as you might think”. I’m just curious.

Different motor, Brembo brakes, bilstein suspension, lsd, thicker rollbars and more.

If you think it’s a sport car it’s not. it weighs 4300 lbs and you feel every single one of those pounds in the twisties.

This is a GT car nothing more. It is killer comfy on the highway and will soak up the miles more days but it is in no way a sport car.

My Ford Fusion with no word of a lie out handle my SRT8 without even trying.

Also the way the SRT builds up power it doesn’t feel nearly as powerful as it is.

I had a 300HP 300ZX twin turbo and it was WAY faster.

If the r/T still has a V8 that’s probably good enough for me. I don’t need no speeding tickets!

Ah, I see. Yeah it is kind of expected with all that bull, but man is it cool.

Plum Crazy is one of my dream colors too. I’d go older though.

oh it will definitely do the job I was simply explaining the differences to net that price difference. you weren’t initially comparing apples to apples

Thanks. Do you think the Challengers will depreciate further? I would assume so.


Kinja'd!!! Luc - The Acadian Oppo > thebigbossyboss

Yeah I think so. They are already pretty cheap considering the mileage but pretty much anything less than a hellcat will keep plummeting in value.

a sub 50000km SRT8 in 5 years will most likely be under $25K.

Yeah given the problems Alberta is having I am thinking it could be a good time to buy if I save up enough.

Commence saving!!!! I just signed my contract for my job in Alberta. The money isn’t the best ever, but it beats being unemployed. I must save and buy this car this year or next.

Yup. It is my job to save you from Rachel Notley. Unless you don’t want saving from here, then it’s my job to convince you that you do.

I don’t follow politics. I tend to be happier when I don’t think about it.

The only thing I do know is that you cannot blame her for the oil collapse since this is happening world wide. Yet everyone here seems to think she is single handedly responsible for oil being $23/barrel.

I ended up buying a V8 mustang convertible instead.
