In 2018 I bought a 2010 Charger R/T. I have some of my own recommendations for any buyers: 1. Just get the damn 5.7L Hemi. It gets only 1 mpg worse than the 3.5L V6, makes 120hp more, and is more reliable. It also sounds glorious. (However the 3.6L V6 used from 2011+ is really good.) 2. Find ones driven by old people! Seriously, a lot of the 5.7L Chargers were bought by boomers nostalgic for late 60's muscle, and they have not been romped on. 3. Look for sleeper R/T's. My R/T is kind of a base model - all it has is the 5.7L Hemi and leather seats. It has two tiny Hemi badges and one R/T badge on the back. Since it didn't have the "sport" package it doesn't have the spoiler or brakes. However, this means that these cars are less likely to have been owned by boy-racers because they're not as flashy/sporty-looking. Again, usually owned by old people. 4. Try to find an AWD R/T! They are a bit rare and won't do burnouts, but if you live in places with bad roads and weather this will help you out SO much. It also has negligible effect on gas mileage due to how AWD works specifically on Chargers.

Davy Rando that’s exactly what I got 😂 I got a 08 R/T with fairly low mileage for an older car (can’t remember the exact mileage but it was under 100,000) had one owner, paint looked brand new, didn’t have the wing or anything, the interior was black leather in amazing condition which I loved and it was AWD.

The issues with getting the SRT8 is that I wont be able to look at it before hand from a dealer due to distance. I have no intentions to mod the car and want to use it as a daily driver. I also live in Vermont, it has harsh winters.

Little late, but I managed to snag a 2007 Dodge Charger R/T base that was single-owner and only had 68,000 miles on it! It's my first car and I love it. I think it was owned by an older guy, it had low miles and was taken to a dealer for everything. So far I've done an oil change, spark plug upgrade (from copper to iridium), replaced 2 of the ignition coil packs (I broke the rubber boots), added an aftermarket stereo (I'm 20, can't blame me), replaced windshield wipers, replaced the radiator cap, and I'm planning to replace the front end rubber and shocks soon. I've put almost 1,500 miles on it in the 2 months I've had it. I wash it regularly and wax it.

Hey Marspeed, Still a Great Video (!) and good info for all considering Dodge Chargers. As a 2008 SRT8 owner with the 6.1 HEMI--I must say AGAIN,....... this motor is "Bulletproof" reliable. I'm at 132,000 miles and it just Purrs like a Kitten at idle, and still pulls like a freight train at Highway Speeds. The only recent repair I've had lately is the Serpentine Belt (which drives the A/c, Power Steering, Water pump, and Alternator), Idler Pulley , and the Spring Tensioner Arm & Pulley changed out with all new parts. With parts $$ and Labor $$ (If you're not a do-it-yourselfer) is around $300. I've had Zero, Dodge/Mercedes NAG-1; Auto-stick Transmission problems (change Trans fluid and Filter in pan every 60,000). No oil leaks. No valve or lifter tick issues. No cooling fan issues.

ive owned all 4 models of charger and im only 19 believe it or not. in my experience, for v6, buy the SXT. Much more luxurious but the main reason is the 2.7L engine is complete dog crap. Theyre known for breaking down. For the V8 models this will actually surprise you but i recommend the R/T with the 5.7L. This being that the 5.7L HEMI is an engine that dodge has been perfecting for years. its the most reliable of the 4 engine sizes. The 6.1L HEMI in the SRT8 is known for having its problems bcuz its an engine that dodge has not perfected. Yes, the car is better looking and more fun, but the 5.7L is just as fun but a lot more reliable. You can even get the 5.7L with all the features of the SRT8. My R/T had full black leather with suede, nav radio, and SRT bucket seats.

I have only done routine maintenance (and of course a set of tires about every 32,000 miles) as per the Dodge Owner's manual and so far it has cost me; $3,215.

Hey Marspeed, Great Video (!) and good info for all considering Dodge Chargers. As a 2008 SRT8 owner, I want to add to your informative items about what to be careful on, when looking at the 5.7 V8 (R/T) cars. There was a Tech Service Bulletin on the 5.7 V8 for Timing Chain problems. The Factory, hard plastic internal "Chain Tension Follower" was getting heat stressed & breaking inside, behind the timing cover. Caused engine seizure issues and piston to valve damage. Hot Rod Magazine did an article on it, because it happened to their "Loaner" Test Challenger with a 5.7 V8. Make sure you check vehicle history for this fix/repair before buying. Also, if the motors are ever "Overheated" past like 230 degrees, the valve guides can come loose from the aluminum heads and it'll drop a valve into a piston. This information is also on the Internet Forums and among Dodge members in the know. So far, my SRT8 ( 6.1 HEMI ) has been bulletproof at 95,000 miles. Nothing but oil changes (approx. $95-100 each time = Mobil ONE) , tires (Approx $800-850 each set of FOUR at 30,000 miles) , and pads/brakes (Approx $220 for just pads installed every 40,000 miles, or $600-$700 for New Rotors as well).

@@dustinogle9522 O.K. I cannot say anything from experience as I have never used NOX on any of my vehicles. To me, it just isn't worth "Stressing the Internals" of your motor, if not done correctly. If it was me, I'd walk away from the 2010 SRT8 car with Nitrous hits. My, "Never Nitrous'd" 6.1 Hemi SRT8, has 177,500 miles on it now and just purrs like it's only got 10,000 on it. If you really, really want the car, ask the guy selling it, to let a mechanic pull the 16 (two each cylinder) spark plugs and check them for Lean Burn condition, or even better, take a technician's view borescope and look inside the cylinders to see if they all look consistently, "normal". 99 thousand miles is nothing on these 6.1 HEMI motors.

The 05-10 Charger/300 are cheap to maintain/own. Only this is you will have to replace the front suspension if not already done..Moog has a great replacement part that people say last ! Cars always start/drive get you there and back.. Mechanically reliable only front bushings crack and ruin the suspension parts on 05-10. Smooth, Quite cars,no rattling,no squeaks solid cars.Handle really good,take corners at high speed awesome,thus harder on suspension lol. My dad owned a brand new 2006 Charger SXT,only problem ever was the front suspension needed replacement...because the front suspension was a Mercedes design,2011 - current are a Chrysler/Dodge design. No rattling, no squeaking, solid ,quiet reliable car. He only changed the timing belt once and water pump at same time Used cars could be driven rough,thats how you end up with cars that rattle and make noises like you say they so called all do. He had 230,000 miles before selling it in late 2014 for a new 2015 300 S Hemi 8 speed . the 05-07 LX cars with the 3.5 5 speed were quicker than the 4 speed 3.5 of 08-10.7.3 0-60 and 15.3 1/4 mile times were recorded..Not as quick as the 5.7 Hemi that runs 5.2 for those years.. I still have my 2005 Magnum RT I bought new,98,000 miles as I own several new/Classic Mopar's..I kept it because I still like it,kept in my shop/Garage..That one too needed front suspension work/bushings wore out 75,000 miles..I have 350,000 miles on my 1968 Dodge charger RT with its original suspension and a 1966 Chrysler 300 with 260,000 original miles and all original suspension,and are quiet and super smooth ,no rattling etc.I owned several 2011 to 2016 Challenger's300's and Charger's and they are better than the 05-10's ..Cheap to own/maintain as are the 05-10's but you will have to replace the front suspension and use MOOG those are good..

If you buy the car for racing, then obviously a V6 is not appropriate for such a heavy car. But the 2.7 V6 is perfect for a sporty daily driving. It still kicks a punch (way more than people want to admit), it is more economical than bigger engines and it costs way less in yearly taxes (at least where I live, going from 2.7 to 3.5 will increase the cost by 3, and we are talking in thousands of dollars yearly simply for the tax, excluding the very expensive but compulsory insurance, which will also go through the roof with a 3.5). And the 2.7 V6 engine is very reliable as long as you change your oil twice a year and check the water pump from time to time. Had it for 16 years, never had any major problem with it. And I know other people who had the same experience wither with Chargers or Chryslers. But I personally don't know anybody who had those supposed big issues with those engines. Just don't be lazy and maintain your car, and it'll practically never let you down. Reliability is often tied to the driver himself, more so than to the engine. Really, if you want a car with muscle feeling, sport handling and a good amount of practicability, but are also on a budget and don't want to pay more for stats you will never ever use on the open road, and if you know how to take care of a car by doing the checkups and oil changes regularly, then the 2.7 v6 Charger is the perfect car for you. Buy a used one which has been maintained properly and you'll be golden.

Bought mine brand new back in December of '05, one of the 1st Chargers to hit the streets. Garage kept and only 34,000 miles, it's in mint condition as it left the factory. If you own an '06 5.7 hemi and it dies after you fill the tank, CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. MINE WAS REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE!!!! Google '06 5.7 Charger gas tank and you will find everything you need to know and don't let them charge you a cent. The recall fixed my stalling problem. This is a great car, I shoulda bought 2 back in '05!

The dreaded "Pink Thingy" is called a Parking selector-"Locking Pawl" on the inside of the plastic Automatic Floor Stick Shifter box . Once again, here is a plastic factory part under spring tension by a cable--that can wear out, snap-off, and leave you stranded, as you can't get the car out of PARK. A company makes them out of Billet Aluminum, if you want to replace it. A New Shifter Lever Box will cost you over $200 at a dealership--with the same cheesy, plastic part inside !!

Had a 2006 Magnum SXT. 5 speed transmission. RWD. Problem with these cars were the lousy Mercedes parts, namely the front suspension and transmission (5 speed). I replaced many of the front suspension parts in the 4-1/2 years I had it. About 4 sets of tie rods. Pittman arm. Both lower control arms (because the bushings can't be pressed out you have to replace the whole arm), front sway bar bushings. With labor about $2k in suspension parts replacement. Transmission went into limp/shudder mode and had to have a module replaced. Nice looking car, but the biggest money pit of a car I ever owned.

With these newer engines, use ONLY the specified oil by the owner's manual. The tight tolerances in the engine don't allow any variation in oil, like say a 1971 Ford 390 V8. Specific oil is an absolute key factor in new cars. Don't use what you think may be better for it.

Just got a recall for my airbags and got it fixed for free! The other problem that I had was the pink shifter that broke and couldn't get the car of the brake.
