(Please let me know if this needs to be in another section).
About ready to join the pack. Been looking for some years now, and ready to spring. Almost sprung last year for a dealer-collected 08 SRT (http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/f5/new-08-srt-vs-15-scat-387058/).
Toyed with idea of ScatPack at that time last year and currently, but having gotten behind the 13 SRT8, I am quite happy with the 2013's offerings, the new 15's notwithstanding........and not having owned one yet. And, I still haven't found and Scats optioned the way I want in my range (only buying used at this point). So, I don't feel like I'm "settling" for this in any way.
They offered 38473 OTD.......I've have them at 37,000 OTD which is in my range of comfort with all I'm putting down.
Has about everything I'm looking for (sunroof for my wife :wink3. Test drive was solid, body panels in line and only cosmetic defects is a minor scratch on driver side bolster and scuffs on passenger side seat rear hard plastic cover (from obvious entries in and out). Have had it on a lift and I visually inspected for obvious fluid leaks, suspension, seals, etc., basically anything that I knew to look out for.
The only thing I saw.....and this is where I'd like to prod anyone with a bit of mechanical knowledge of the underside.
They mentioned they did an oil change (it's a Chevy dealer). It's been on the lot for two weeks.
I did notice a small amount of oil on the bottom of the filter:
.....and a bit near here (not exactly sure what this is, but have circled where I saw a bit of oil...
For reference, I've included this generic pic to give you a wider view of where I was looking (circled) (basically between oilpan and right front wheel....front of vehicle is the bottom of the pic):
Could this be oil from the change or is there something else that I should be considering? Everywhere else I could shine my flashlight was clean.
I may go tomorrow or Monday to either make the deal or not.
Thanks for any help!

- 2013 SRT8 Phantom Black
- AUTO
- Leather/Radar Red Interior
- 4700 miles
- Sunroof, Nav, Remote Start, Black Vapor Chrome Wheels, Harmon Kardon Audio
- Tinted windows
- One owner, clean CFax (for what that's worth I know), owner is known and local and traded it in for a van (one of those "life is changing/need new ride" situations). It has been the typical garage queen and the condition reflects that from all I can see (other than some minor cosmetic issues noted below)
