'06 Dogde Magnum Sxt - Reliable, Comfortable - No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:135381
Location:

Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

I am the second owner of this car. I purchased it in August of '07 from a Dodge dealer in Florida. It had 23K on it. I was working for a large electronics manufacturer at the time and had to carry a large amount of equipment (to show, not delivery) all over 6 states. Trust me, this car can carry a ton of stuff! The mileage is high on the car but, 95% of it is highway mileage. It has always been professionally maintained and adult driven. This is an AMSOIL car and even though my mechanic told me I was wasting my money by doing so, I would have the oil changed every 5000 miles. Needless to say, the engine neither burns or drops oil. The transmission and rear end oil are also AMSOIL. Each tank of fuel was treated with LUCAS fuel treatment.

Original equipment:

  • 3.5L HO (High Output) fuel injected V6
  • Automatic transmission
  • Traction control
  • Heated Leather Seats
  • 8-way Power Driver Seat, 6-Way Power Passenger Seat
  • Power Adjustable Pedals
  • Cruise Control
  • Air Conditioning
  • AM/FM/CD

Added :

  • Pillar mount gauges were added shortly after I bought the car (Voltage/Oil pressure/Water temp). Gauges are multicolor GlowShift.
  • American Racing "Rogue" painted custom wheels. No, not 22's. 17's (same size as original equipment)
  • Magnaflow Performance cat-back SS exhaust system
  • Billet Pistol Grip shift lever
  • Tinted windows
  • Vent Visors
  • SRT8 honeycomb grille inserts 
  • Power Slot Performance brake rotors
  • Hawk Performance HPS (High Performance Street) pads
  • New battery
  • New tires (again, original equipment; Goodyear Integrity) @ 128K miles
  • Current Inspection (11/13)

Things I know to be wrong with the car or issues;

  • The paint on front of the car shows wear from the highway mileage (even though the car has always been kept clean and waxed, Chrysler paint just isn't what it could be!)
  • A stitch is the drivers seat is pulled. It has been like that for a number of years. Since it never spread I never had it repaired (can be seen in picture)
  • Small body damage next to right side tail light. Some very nice person hit it in a parking lot and left. I replaced the taillight.
  • Door ding in passenger door
  • Glowshift water temp gauge stopped working. When the gauges were installed the mechanic kept the original dash mounted temp gauge working and it is operable. These gauges can be purchased for <$50.
  • Indicator lights in drivers side seat heat switch work intermittently. The heat works, just the lights don't sometimes.

The mileage will change before the end of the auction. I plan to take it on a short trip (approximately 200 miles round trip) on Tuesday just to give it a run. Frankly, I wouldn't hesitate to jump in this car and drive across the country. Aside from bringing the car home from Florida, it has made numerous 12 - 14 hour non-stop trips and it has always offered a comfortable ride, and NEVER let me down. This car has always been adult driven (I got it when I was in my 50's) and has never been abused.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Dodge to reveal Hellcat-powered Challenger in Detroit?

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

On top of all the other performance car debuts slated for next week's Detroit Auto Show, we might be able to add one more to the list - the new, supercharged Hellcat V8 from Chrysler. According to new reports, the rumored 640-horsepower mill is likely to cross the Motor City stage in the engine bay of a Dodge Challenger.
As AllPar points out, though, there may be more news than just the fire-breathing engine. While we've seen spy photos of the Hellcat testing under the hood of the current Challenger, there's a very fair chance that it won't arrive until the muscle car is refreshed later this year. The question now is whether that refresh will be shown off alongside the new engine in Detroit, or if it'll be saved, perhaps for the New York Auto Show.
Other details dug up by AllPar include potential transmissions for the supercharged engine - the Mopar-minded site is expecting an eight-speed automatic or a Tremec six-speed manual. Prices, meanwhile, could be in the same elevated range as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, at $70,000 to $80,000.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.
