Car heads...I have a question. Vol. New Pick Up

[misterp0315]

I copped a black on black 2008 Charger today...only 9k miles for $19,500. Clean as hell...never owned by a person. It was previously a fleet vehicle.

It's a 3.5 V6 so you Hemi lovers...feel free to slay me.

I drive across town daily for work and travel A LOT so...the lack of gasmileage mattered to me to an extent. I wasn't looking for a hybrid or anything but I don't care for powerful, gas guzzling cars either. I have enoughspeeding tickets as it is.

Anyways, I had chrome rims before and those things gave me all kinds of problems. So...what's the difference between aluminum alloy and chrome? I don'twant to throw black alloys on there either so don't suggest it.

Any suggestions overall for customizations (besides getting a Hemi)?

Ireally don't want to make this a trashy looking whip with OD chrome and that fake vent thingy.

Would something like this be alright? 22s I heard 24s make the ride TERRIBLE and since I drive a lot...I'm good. Here's a picture though...

Charger owners, speak up please.

Thanks. That SRT hood is dope. I was looking more into something like Asanti's. Hmmm...

 

[daydayz e36]

wire wheels.

As a Hemi owner I'd like to be the first to say...Congratulations on your Chrysler 300 purchase.

I couldn't even think about customizing a charger without a Hemi...I mean you can put some tent on it and some rims. But its all drawing attentionaway from the fact that you have a base model engine.

I'd say just focus on the electronics and interior and keep it simple on the outside. Lose the antenna too.


here's mine just so I don't get called on ducktales

 

[mateen cleaves]

you paid to much

 

[misterp0315]

The antenna is for Sirius radio. But thanks. LOL.

 

[c0nev3rge]

19,000 you couldve gotten a way better car haha

 

[10 piece nuggets]

9k for $19,000? Is that right?

 

[misterp0315]

Geez...I may have to do something like this.

But yeah...$19,500 and it had 8700 miles. It looks flawless though. And you can say whatever about not having a Hemi. I had that option but didn't like thecolors offered and they weren't in good shape anyways. Having a bigger engine or whatever is not that serious to me. It's not like this thing has aNeon engine in it. I'm not racing anybody anyways.

If I want a fast car, I'm definitely not thinking about a Charger to fulfill that.

This is my first car out of college. Everything else was either a hand-me-down or greatly used. Give me a break.

I'm content with the purchase.

 

[lemonade41]

You goulda had a G35 for the same price

 

[misterp0315]

Too small. Don't like them. Would've preferred a Z anyways. Couldn't find them.

 

[lemonade41]

Its just me but I'm far from a small person and I don't feel a I need a big car, if I need to haul stuff I'll just get an old pickup truck for thecheap

 

[xcellziscrack]

u could of got a charger with a hemi for 19k, but if ur happy im happy for you bruh

that new car smell must be nice.

 

[misterp0315]

The ones with a Hemi that I saw were actually cheaper...with a lot of miles, a lot of wear and tear, and 2006's. The chrome wheels that came with them wererusting out.

I'm good.

But I took it into consideration...then thought more responsibly about MPG with my daily commute and longevity.

this! they're on ebay.

 

[ninjahood]

but you really should've gotten da hemi version....saves MORE gas then da V6 since there's a engine management system that shuts off 4 of da 8cylinders for city crusin,

till you step on da gas.

i mean 19k....you could've gotten a low mileage 5.7 liter hemi charger...a couple more stacks after that could've gotten you a SRT-8.

 

[supermanblue79]

SRT8 owner here and no way should you even think about putting Viper wheels or SRT8 wheels on a V6 car.
Go with your basic set up, 22" Black deep dishes with a chrome lip, and premium sound for you inside.

Don't waste your money on hood scoops and spoilers because your going to spend way more than Hemi money on
your car in the longrun. Get this thing paid off, keep it as a daily driver, and get some more HP for the weekends on
your next purchase. Congrats.
