2006 Dodge Charger Srt8 Sedan 4-door 6.1l Stock Engine Carbon Fiber Newer Engine on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:98824
Location:

Mundelein, Illinois, United States

Up for auction is one 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8. This charger is adult owned, driven, and maintained.  This charger is smoker free!  I bought this vehicle last year from Florida Dealer in the condition you see it now.  The dealer told me the engine was replaced approximately 8,000 miles ago.  It doesn't burn oil and returns between 20-23 mpg on the highway.  This charger one of the most comfortable highway cruising cars I have ever owned. The A/C blows out cold air and the heated seats are a nice warm hug. I have been to Virginia and back from Chicago twice and have arrived well rested at my destination.  

Mechanically this car is 100% stock output with no aftermarket add-ons.  All fluids including; Coolant, Brake, ATF, Power Steering, Differential, and Engine Oil have been completely refreshed this spring. I did not drive it over the winter as it stayed in my garage.  The battery was replaced last summer as were the tires as you can see in the pictures.  I had 275 width Hankook tires installed and they ride very nicely.  I think the wider tires complete the look of a car that has 425 horsepower from the factory. 

That number is my current problem.

I have a 15 year old turning 16 this year.  A fast car, high insurance, and a newly licensed teenager don't mix.  I have other toys to keep me busy (motorcycles) but I'm using the funds of this sale to help my teen purchase a safe, sensible, first car that can be used in Chicago winter conditions. 

**Disclaimers**
I do have a small lien on the vehicle and they (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) are very quick to mail out a title after their lien is satisfied. 

 Here is what I know about the history of this car.   When I bought this vehicle, there was a title issue with the mileage.  The owner that had the charger before my dealer purchase didn't pay his bills and this charger was repossessed.  For whatever reason (digital dash? no battery?) they couldn't get the actual mileage before sending this car to auction. So they recorded the vehicle as having only ONE mile.   The dealer had an inspection done after they bought it from auction and the mileage was updated to a mileage of approx 95k.  So just in case you see a rollback warning on the mileage from the carfax report, I wanted to let you know why.  I'm being upfront about what I'd want to know if I were a purchaser.  I am in no rush to sell so I have no reason to sacrifice my integrity.  

There are a few scratches and scuffs on the body. The front bumper was not removed correctly when the engine was replaced and I tried my best to show the damage. (Shown in pictures.) There are no dents that I have noticed yet which is amazing for the level of callous people that drive in this region.  The body has a few decals removed along with the door bump trim.  I think it looks pretty nice without it but it is missing.  The interior has Carbon fiber overlay installed on the dash and doors. 

If you have any questions, I will answer questions quickly.  No joyrides will be given unless you arrive with cash in hand and a current insurance policy in your name.  This is not a car for beginners or the immature.

The winning bidder is required to place their deposit within 24 hours and contact me with firm details of how they wish to pay the remainder.  If no contact is made or the method of currency is insufficient (ie, turkish Iira, rubles, pesos...)  I will report the winning bidder as a non-payer.  I am serious as you are if you actually want a decent machine for the money.  

Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping costs and liabilities.  Vehicle is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.  If you want a charger with a warranty, the dodge dealer will gladly sell you a new charger for $45,000 with a warranty.   

I will offer to pick up the winning bidder from either Milwaukee or O'hare Airport at my convenience. 

Thank you for reading my listing and here are some pictures.  ( I hate boring dull Ebay ads with no personality)

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.

Watch this Dodge Viper get clawed to death

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

There's a scene in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig's Agent 007 is captured by villain Le Chiffre, played by Mads Mikkelsen. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in a scene that is rather difficult to watch (especially for blokes) and impossible to describe on these digital pages (Google at your own risk). This video is the automotive equivalent of the Casino Royale torture scene.
It shows a Dodge Viper - a late, first-generation GTS judging by the center-exit exhausts - getting assaulted by a giant piece of heavy equipment. The large claw shows no mercy on the V10-powered sports car, rending its muscular curves into pieces and then running it over, just for good measure. It's a painful video to watch (and hear!), made worse because we don't know what the Viper did to deserve such a fate. About a third of the way through the video, the cameraman indicates that the man with the claw is a new operator from Chrysler, and it appears there may be some fire damage, but beyond that, we don't have much to go on.
Scroll down for the video but be warned, it isn't for the faint of heart.

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians

Tue, Aug 15 2017

NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.
