This is a 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8.  The exterior is Maroon and the interior is black leather with gray suede inserts.  The engine is a 6.1 liter Hemi with 425 hp in stock configuration.  It has a 5 speed automatic transmission that was designed and manufactured by Mercedes.  It also has, AC, CD, PW, PDL, PM, cruise control, Homelink garage door opener, power seats, rear storage system and privacy shade, and Brembo brakes.

 

I purchased the car in 2011 with 17k miles on it from the second owner who was a minister in FL.  My father purchased it from me and owned it briefly.  Neither of us used it as a daily driver and only drove the car for pleasure.  It has been extremely well taken care of and never in any salt or snow.  It has never been smoked in.  There are no dents or damage of any kind and the paint has a very deep shine to it.  The interior is new condition and has the original floor mats underneath the weathertech trays.  It was always garaged and washed/waxed frequently by hand, never an automatic car wash.  It runs and rides like a new car and needs nothing.  Everything works 100%.  There are no leaks of any kind at all.

 

Only 93-octane gas was used.  I have used Castrol Syntec Edge 5W-40 Full Synthetic Oil and either Mobil one, K&N, or Wix oil filters every 2-3k miles.  It has been updated with all factory recalls and TSBs.  In the last 7k miles I have done all of the following: I have changed the transmission fluid (actually I did it three times to get all the old fluid out of the torque converter) using Mopar ATF+4 full Synthetic Transmission fluid.  In addition, I changed the cooling by flushing the engine with tap water, then flushing with distilled water, finally I drained the system (including the two engine block drain plugs) and refilled it with the proper Mopar coolant, distilled water (50/50 mix) and the required Mopar coolant additive (per a TSB).  I also flushed the brake fluid with Synthetic Dot 4.  I replaced the power steering fluid and drained and filled the differential with Royal Purple 75w-140 Synthetic Gear Oil.  All of these items were done about 1k miles ago and I did all of these at 17k miles when I bought the car (except brake fluid and PS fluid which I only did this one time).  The rotors were replaced at 24k miles with the updated slotted Mopar rotors F/R (per TSB) and I installed new pads F/R.   The belt was just replaced with a Goodyear Gatorback.  The tires are in excellent condition and are 275/45/20 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 high performance tires with good tread depth.

 

When I purchased the car it was 100% stock.  I completed some minor modifications.  I removed the Hemi badges and body side moldings.  I purchased brand new exact replacement Hemi badges and body side moldings from the dealer.  The body side moldings were professionally painted and are in still new in protective packaging with the original tape ready to install if you wanted to put it back to stock.  These are both included with the car.  I also installed a new Mopar cold air intake system but still have the OEM unit that goes with the car.  I installed an oil catch can to prevent oil ingestion through the intake.  This can be easily removed and put back to stock. I also installed small lids over the headlights that look like the hood and fender to reduce the bulging headlight look.  These can be easily removed if desired.  Lastly, I installed Charger SRT8 wheels.  I think these are much better looking wheels than the Magnum SRT8 wheels.  They are the same size and are forged just like the Magnum SRT8 wheels.   In summary, all the modifications that I performed are minor and the car can be easily put back to stock except I do not have the Magnum wheels.  These wheels are readily available for sale on the internet because many do not like how they look.

 

I am selling my Magnum because I have too many cars and do not have enough time to drive them.  This is a really nice car that has to be seen in person to really appreciate.  I have a lift in the garage at my house for easy inspection of the undercarriage.  I also have the car for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells before the end of auction.  I am located in Knoxville, TN.  Please contact me at 865-278-7063 if you are interested or have any questions.

 The under tray beneath the engine was removed only for taking pictures.  It has been reinstalled and is included with the car.  I also forgot to mention that I have replaced the shift interlock mechanism with a billet aluminum unit that will never fail.

Just to clarify, all of the maintenance mentioned was performed about 7k miles ago.  I accidentally typed 1k miles.  I apologize for the confusion.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Fiat Chrysler profit up as it closes in on retiring its debt

Thu, Apr 26 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reduced its debt by more than expected in the first quarter, putting the carmaker well on course to become cash positive later this year. Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne expects to cancel all debt during 2018 — possibly by the end of June — and generate around 4 billion euros ($5 billion) in net cash by the end of the year. Marchionne has said that forecast does not include any one-off measures, nor the impact of the planned spinoff of parts maker Magneti Marelli, which he hopes to execute by early 2019. The world's seventh-largest carmaker said on Thursday net debt had fallen to 1.3 billion euros ($1.6 billion) by the end of March, well below a consensus forecast of 2.6 billion euros in a Thomson Reuters poll of analysts. FCA said capital spending fell 900 million euros in the quarter due to "program timing," which analysts said implied higher investments for the rest of the year. The Italian-American group said first-quarter operating profit rose 5 percent to 1.61 billion euros, below a consensus forecast of 1.74 billion, as a weaker performance from its North American profit center weighed. Shipments there were higher due to the new Jeep Wrangler and Compass models. But currency moves hit revenues and earnings, and costs related to new product launches added to the pressure. FCA's shift to sell more trucks and SUVs boosted margins yet again in North America to 7.4 percent from 7.3 percent in the same quarter a year ago, although they were down from the 8 percent recorded in the preceding three months. Marchionne, preparing to hand over to an internal successor next year, is close to his goal of ending a margin gap with larger U.S. rivals General Motors and Ford. The 65-year-old has said becoming debt free and being able to compete on a par with U.S. peers would mean FCA no longer needed a partner to survive and could well succeed on its own. The CEO has previously said tying up with another carmaker would help to meet the huge costs in an industry investing in electric vehicles and automated driving. FCA shares fell immediately after the results, but recovered to trade up 3 percent at 19.71 euros by 1150 GMT, outperforming a 0.4 percent rise in Europe's blue-chip stock index.

Stellantis lays off salaried workers, cites uncertainty in EV transition

Sat, Mar 23 2024

DETROIT — Jeep maker Stellantis is laying off about 400 white-collar workers in the U.S. as it deals with the transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles. The company formed in the 2021 merger between PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler said the workers are mainly in engineering, technology and software at the headquarters and technical center in Auburn Hills, Michigan, north of Detroit. Affected workers were notified starting Friday morning. “As the auto industry continues to face unprecedented uncertainties and heightened competitive pressures around the world, Stellantis continues to make the appropriate structural decisions across the enterprise to improve efficiency and optimize our cost structure,” the company said in a prepared statement Friday. The cuts, effective March 31, amount to about 2% of Stellantis' U.S. workforce in engineering, technology and software, the statement said. Workers will get a separation package and transition help, the company said. “While we understand this is difficult news, these actions will better align resources while preserving the critical skills needed to protect our competitive advantage as we remain laser focused on implementing our EV product offensive,” the statement said. CEO Carlos Tavares repeatedly has said that electric vehicles cost 40% more to make than those that run on gasoline, and that the company will have to cut costs to make EVs affordable for the middle class. He has said the company is continually looking for ways to be more efficient. U.S. electric vehicle sales grew 47% last year to a record 1.19 million as EV market share rose from 5.8% in 2022 to 7.6%. But sales growth slowed toward the end of the year. In December, they rose 34%. Stellantis plans to launch 18 new electric vehicles this year, eight of those in North America, increasing its global EV offerings by 60%. But Tavares told reporters during earnings calls last month that “the job is not done” until prices on electric vehicles come down to the level of combustion engines — something that Chinese manufacturers are already able to achieve through lower labor costs. “The Chinese offensive is possibly the biggest risk that companies like Tesla and ourselves are facing right now,Â’Â’ Tavares told reporters. “We have to work very, very hard to make sure that we bring out consumers better offerings than the Chinese.
