3800 Dodge Magnum

[imported_Ron Vogel]

Well, suddenly the GTP seems awfully lame. We checked out a Hemi magnum at the dealership. We should be buying one in the next two months, it is really as awesome as it looks in the mags.

those things freakin Haul balls!!

The only thing is they are selling them at Koller with a "market adjusted" price, which is $2000 above sticker. We'll have to hunt around the sticks for one cheaper. Fully loaded it was almost 30K, but I think with the Hemi and nice options it could be had fro 26-27K.

LOL that's mine and Lynns next car. I need something to tow the new boat with when I get it. And with the 3.5 or Hemi it can tow 3800 pounds with the tow package. It is one sweet car.

I'm about as tempted as a junkyard dog staring at a slow moving cat! I can guarantee that if I don't do Law School next year I'm getting one, that is, if it has the same room for the drive as the Regal does.

I can wait till Chrysler and Dodge come out with the the SRT version of the magnum and 300C. i would prolly consider that version for my next car also...

 

[GTPj]

my friend wants to get one of those...then he will race me so he can say i got beat by a station wagon

 

[GTPHales-Wife]

sounds like we are going to be starting a Magnum club in the near future......

 

[tommmy3]

which one is this?
the truck?
the 300c?
or the station wagon? its the wagon - right?

 

[dole21]

[GTPHales-Wife]

I think your a bit off, we (carmax) are selling them with the hemi for 36k. And they don't do the adjustment up junk either.

Aztec is pittyful.....Looks like station wagons are back.....Fast station wagons...I bet I see a M90 stacked on it in a couple months.

I'm not a station wagon fan myself, but I think the new 300C is hot. Same car but no wagon.

I looked them up at carmax's site and couldn't find them. We may end up buying it there then...Wait a second; 36K? The one we saw was 29ish.

Stacey would you be able to get hale and I a deal there?

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

I will say this; I looked into insurance for my wife and it was very reasonable on the Hemi. My agent qouted me $339 for 6 months. It's also better to buy it in Michigan, I got a price $3000 cheaper there...

 

[staceyyearsich]

Lynn, I am going to be leaving Dodge this wk, because I make more money at this job for the over-time, but a good friend of mine is a salesman there and he will hook you up, they hooked my aunt up when I wasn't working there then, I am just a fill-in, but just let me know and I will put a call in.

 

[gtphale]

Ron the 26k one was probably the 3.5. Thats what the 3.5 was at the dealer me and lynn went to

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

I can't remember where I found it, but on the net I did a zip search for the options I wanted. Sunroof, roofrack, Hemi R/T, Heated seats, etc. It was 32K here, and 28K and some change in MI. I talked to a couple of dealers about it, the price gouging should end once the dealers have a decent supply. Sometime around the middle of next month, but it's still cheaper out of state. One dealer told me they were asking 20K over sticker for the only srt10 truck on the lot, yikes! At least he was honest about it, he said they'd never get that for it, but I wonder what fool will buy it.

It's heavy, but I'd speculate low 14's/high 13's. The concept car with the blower on it was running low 13's with 430hp. We're buying it because it's a nice ride; not to race it. We may even do a lease, since my wife won't be doing any modding.
