Looking for something to replace my truck with

Well guys as the pictures showed my truck is wasted and I now have to find something to replace her with . At this time I really cant do another truck . So I have been looking at SRT-8's in the Magnum or 300C . I figure with all the Mopar guys in here ,just maybe someone knows of a deal on either one of these and I hate to buy something out of town with someone scoping it out before I waste a trip , but I have some trust with the guys in here . About the only thing I am firm on is NO silver ,NO white , must have Nav. and under 50k miles . O and as cheap as I can get it as times are a bit hard right now and since I'm not the only one in this boat I figure there are deals out here . So yes I am going to try to lowball it :dontknow:
Also if anyone has any input to either one of these rides feel free to chime in as most of you know I'm more of an old car guy and to be honest most of the newer stuff looks like crap and there's no way I can afford a 70-71 Challenger right now so newer it needs to be . I also need to pull this off ASAP as I am wheel-less and I have some shit going to hit the fan soon and need to have the insurance check spent .

I'd go with the Magnum... no question:rock: They're rare, just plain PIMP and pretty cheap. You can have a nice one for under 20k.

Yup under 20 is what I need to keep it at and I have found multiple ones in both the Mag and 300C . Yes I have searches on Ebay ,Craigs List ,Autotrader ,LS forums ,SRT forums etc . I had a few lined up but the damn insurance co was so slow to pay up most of them were gone and looking at R/T's just gave me the itch to try to move up to the SRT8
Thanks
Mike
Yup that one is in my search bag . Maybe I'm just gettin bold in my old age but damn the Red looks Sweet

What happened to your truck?? :dontknow:

While you are considering SRT8s why not the Jeep?....Here is a link to one for sale by a friend of mine....he is the most anal person I know about his vehicles...promise this one will look better than new...

Thanks bro but I really am not a Jeep guy . I am also strange enough that I am really looking for something differant than I have owned as my life has taken a bunch of changes and at least picking a car is mine ,not someone elses . I figure I will buy something no one would expect me to <G>

PS I could not get to the post you sent without being logged in to the SRT site

in september I bought an 06 300c, with 22" rims for $18,500 with 22k miles. Love the car.
I would have liked and SRT8, but the extra cost of gas didt make sense.
considering by the end of this month I will have close to 35k miles on it.

Hi Mike, how the heck are you doing?

I'm real sorry to hear about your truck. I hope things are getting better for you.

Thanks that the kind of input I was looking for
Sad thing is I have found two SRT mags in OK which is not beyond going but not having anyone I know close enough to go inspect I hate /cant afford to go flying round the country on wild goose chases
Bill
Yea man it has been a bit since we talked and sure hope your business picked up . Mine is kind of like the truck DOA . I wont get into detail but had a BS law suit that closed and bankrupted me thats kind of the rush on replacing the truck as cash and time are not options these days . So I guess I have to figure what I want to do when I grow up and looks like Ecuador is on hold ,but all this crap figure how to get it off hold ,the faster the better.
I lost your number so PM that to me so I can write it down on something more solid than I did b4 ,alzhiemers yup thats what I will claim !
