Completely agree. However, this car can be found for less than 10 with TRUE R/T trim and in much better shape. That car is completely beat up and the console, back door panels need to be addressed. Also, the car is BASE as can be and in pretty rough shape. Much better choices out there. Good price? Sure. However, it needs about 1,500 worth of work to make it right. It's laughable to see the vinyl back seat with the cloth back. The car is rough. Look at the pictures... That's a 5500 car @ Manheim auto auctions. Rough.

He would be better off finding a true R/T car with digital AC, 6 disc, leather, roof and matching paint. 120k is about when a tranny will go bad if the car was hammered and driven hard. It's priced cheap for a reason. I would stay away, but that's just me.

matching paint.


This is the one thing that gets me given the technology we have. Why in the world do the police paint cars(or have them painted two tone from the factory at a surcharge) when you can use vinyl for the roofs and sell them for a much greater profit at the end of it's service life? Vinyl is cheap and peels right off. It's just a stupid waste of money that I can't understand why muni's and the state patrols are allowed to waste.

Thanks.........no I didn't go and buy it. I just sleep late cause I work 12 hour nights.

I suppose ill just wait and get my tax returns and then buy a car. I'm looking to pay cash. Don't want to spend over 12k. Most chargers that price are around 100k miles, which is fine with me.

In my opinion you don't even need the first 100k on cars. Let someone else pay for that shite and you pay for the next 100k at a good price. I drive about 20k a year so it would take 5 years to get to 200k and most people don't keep cars for more than 5 years anyways. I just don't understand why people buy brand new cars pay it off in five years and sell it......what a waste of money.

By the way I did post this on ot and they are assholes. They never answer questions straight up, they just give smart arse remarks.
