2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8
There is a guy on my street selling his Fully loaded Charger and I am able to get it for $10,000 with only 18kms.
Can anyone give me their thoughts on the SRT-8? I know it's a gas eater but I may be willing to let that slide..

$10,000 sounds way too cheap for that car. Buy it! The money you're saving will be more than enough to cover the extra gas usage.

ya that is waaaay too good of a deal. Run checks on it to see if it's been stolen, if it's been in an accident, etc. No way can that be the actual price he wants

Why not?
American cars depreciate fast just like waterfall. Though it is abnormal for a 45000~50000 dollars car depreciate to 1/4 or 1/5 of its price within two years, but, on the other hand, it's understandable nowadays as the gas price is boosting skyhigh; and therefore, not many people want to buy it. The dealer rather want to get rid of it than keeping it in the storage and let it rot.
Chrysler stuff are always stylish, muscular, attractive, fun to drive in the beginning and have no long term reliability...
By the way, op better double check the car's record just to get your ass covered.
Overally speaking, if the car is clean you got an awesome deal, which made me jealous.

you're an idiot. the srt-8 goes for anywhere from 30-45k on autotrader
so OP, either this is a family favour, or the car is stolen and he is looking for quick cash, either way its a fast car, i drove a modded srt-8 cherokee and it spun tires in awd, ridiculously fast, the gas mileage calculator on the truck measured 19.8L/100kms however.

423hp / 420lb.ft at $10 grand for 18,000km's????
Holy **** I'd take it. Besides the guy lives on your street. If he puts up a for sale sign on his lawn as soon as he sells the car to you then you'll know it could be a problem 
But honestly, the bay looks really well kept and seems to be a good deal. Still check everything you can when getting a used car.

Either the guy is incredibly desperate or something is fishy... my gut is something is fishy.
He could probably take it to a dealer and get far more than $10K on the spot, so something isn't right.

You should be careful here...10K for an SRT8 is too cheap...I think there might be something he isn't fully disclosing.

I don't think that was actually a picture of the car in question since it was not posted by the OP.

Doesn't sound right, even for an accident rebuilt car.
If it was legit, I would have already bought it without even posting here.

Sounds too good... $10k for a Hemi-engine ... Run a car fax, get maintenance record, get a mechanic to check it. If all turns up good, then buy it! (well if u don't mind the gas mileage).

If you don't jump on it I know about 10 guys that would probably go pick it up tonight.
Assuming of course it's legit.
