After checking on eBay and consulting several other resources, I've set the starting bid extremely low and the reserve reflects what I consider to be the realistic fair market value for a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 of this caliber. Please note that it is for sale locally, regionally, and nationally in several print classifieds and on other websites so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Serious buyers are more than welcome to contact me regarding a fair Buy It Now price.
Please bid with confidence. I've been buying and selling on eBay since 2002 and have dealt with everything from old stamps to semi trucks. Again please make sure you read the auction terms and payment information below before bidding and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with 6.1 Liter Hemi rated at 425 horsepower. Numbered First Edition (3787 of 6400) in Hemi Orange with black leather interior. This Challenger features an automatic transmission, premium audio AM/FM/Sirius satellite radio with multi disc CD player and MP3 capability, surround sound, factory installed Kicker sub, UConnect Blue Tooth, color coordinated orange leather seat inserts, special SRT badging, blacked out spoiler, hood stripes, performance monitor, power driver's seat, heated seats, push button starter, and all the other amenities you would expect to find on a car nowadays like cruise control, power windows and door locks. It does not have a sunroof. The car currently has roughly 8,100 miles but I am driving it from time to time so please expect it to be slightly higher upon purchase. We are the second owners and we bought this Challenger from a dealership last February where much to my surprise we found out that we were familiar with the car and its original owner as he doesn't live too far from us. He had it in a couple of the same local car shows that we like to attend. To be frank what you see is what you get with this one. It's a pampered 2 owner adult driven car with a little over 8000 miles on it. No dents or dings or mechanical issues at all. It's been very well maintained and is extremely clean and is pretty much in like new condition. The only thing I've had to do to it is replace the dash speakers as one was blown. That's a fairly common problem with these. On a more personal level we've had both a Challenger R/T and a 2010 Camaro SS as well as several other old muscle cars and this is by far our most favorite. We hate to get rid of it but we found out almost exactly a month to the day after we bought it that we are expecting another little one in our house. Anyway, while this Challenger is used it really is practically like brand new without the price or hassle of a dealership. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or request my phone number if you wish to speak by phone.
Auction Terms and Payment Information
I have tried to describe this Challenger to the best of my ability but it is still used. While I don't expect the buyer to have any problems with it at all, routine maintenance and repairs should be expected. This Challenger sells AS IS with no warranty written or implied.
Post auction communication is very important. While I generally try to work with everybody the buyer should try to contact me within 24 hours after the auction so we can start working out details on completing the transaction and getting the car picked up. Prompt contact after the sale also lets me know the buyer is serious about following through. eBay is a serious marketplace for me and millions of other individuals and bidding or buying should not be taken lightly. Non paying bidder reports will be filed without warning 4 days after the end of the auction when communication from the buyer or bidder is scarce or non-existent after the auction. Communication folks...know it...use it...love it!
Payment by cashier's or bank check only, even if you intend to pay in person. Absolutely no personal checks or money orders. Vehicle title is readily available. I do not accept deposits. I ask that payment in full be received in a reasonable amount of time. By reasonable amount of time I do not mean after you win the lottery, your divorce is finalized, your tax refund comes back, you try to come with a way so your wife doesn't find out, or your settlement comes in. Yes, I've heard all of those before as well as others. Generally it means within a week or so. Also, please be aware that I am not a dealer or bank and that I do not sell items on contract or offer financing of any kind. Please have all financing lined up before you bid or click the Buy It Now button or forward an offer.
Auction is open to U.S. bidders only.
The buyer is responsible for setting up and paying for shipping and any other associated charges. I can give some very general recommendations on where to find a shipper if needed. The Challenger will not leave my property until I receive payment in full or until payment clears. This car is located outside of the Mount Carmel, IL 62863 area. No problem at all helping load on my end if necessary.
Please bid with confidence. I've been on eBay since 2002 and I've sold several tractors, cars and trucks. I try to make every transaction as pleasant and trouble free as possible. If anyone has any questions about anything please feel free to contact me.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.
Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]
Fri, Nov 21 2014First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
