I have wanted a challenger since 08’ and after a recent accident "car was totaled", now is the time. Ok, I have been lurking this site for a few years a know some of the things to look for but with the new 2011’s, rebates, ect. I just want to make sure I am not getting screwed.
A local large dealer to me got in a SRT8 2009 Fully Loaded B5 6speed with 13k miles on it. After checking it out I totally fell in love with this thing. Test drive felt great. To make the deal even better the original owner that traded it in happen to show up. Very nice guy, car sounded great, it was obvioiusly his baby and made me feel better about its history.
The car has brand new rear tires, but needs new front tires. "bald" It had two tiny door dings that the dealer said they would have removed by a paintless dent guy they use and it would be perfect. It had the full magnaflow exhaust "loved the sound!!!!!" and the K&N intake setup. The original owner told me the front alignment needed to be checked because the outside of the tires wore too fast and that the washer fluid light was on "the sensor was bad, as the fluid was full". I assume what is an easy warranty fix. Other than that the car was MINT. Dealer wants 34k for it and will not budge a single dollar. They have only had the car one or two days and have had tons of calls already. What do you guys think???
I fell in love with that B5 color in person. Wanted orange, but I love how different the B5 is. Is this too much for a 09? I need a car, so I can’t wait more than a few weeks. –thanks.
Looking forward to joining the club!!!!
