Hi Guys,
I'm living in the Middle East where gas is cheap and the roads are billiard table smooth. A friend just bought a Silver 2005 SRT-10 and I have decided that I have to have one.
I recall looking at the SRT-10 when it was first released, but I was living in Australia then and the cost of buying, shipping, converting to right hand drive, insuring and putting gas in one meant it wasn't practical. (Who said a 500hp truck had to be practical anyway!)
I have scoured the internet looking for the right truck, and have only met with moderate success.
Preferably, I would love to get my hands on a pristine Commemorative model, as I think the white/blue paint combination looks great. But, with only 200 made, my chances are pretty low. Otherwise I am looking for a late model (2006) standard cab in unmolested original condition, maximum 10,000 miles. Colour-wise I don't really mind as long as it's the right truck in perfect condition.
I have a quote for shipping from Texas (I looked at a truck there), and I imagine that shipping costs will be similar from anywhere in the US to me here in Dubai (where there are only 3 SRT-10's, but lots of Vipers). That will cost me about $5k which means I can't entertain any trucks that are over $35k without blowing my $40k limit.
Any truck offered has to have a clear title, accurate documentation, full service records and no damage or modification history.
The seller would also need to be willing to assist with paperwork for the friendly US Customs folks.
I realise I'm asking for a lot, but I'm willing to pay for the right truck.
Thanks,
Wannaute
