Back thinking of buying an SRT-10

En4cer30 · Oct 27, 2015

Hi all,

I joined this site back in 2008 as I was looking for an SRT-10. After some decisions, I actually ended up with an Audi S4.

I'm kind of bored with things, and figured I wanted a new toy. I've been looking at all types of cars and trucks and remembered that I still have a small hole in my soul that can only be filled with something crazy. So, back on the SRT hunt I go.

I have found a few I am going to look at this week and next. I have neen reading new and old posts on here to refresh my memory on things.

Since 7 years have passed since I was looking, and these trucks are now 10 years old, I was just looking for some input to help me make sure I don't get the wrong truck.

Any pointers on things to look at/for specifically? Things to listen for? Questions to ask? I do have a background in automotive and used to do much of my own wrenching too, so please feel free to get as deep into the weeds as needed.

To note, I have been looking for '05 RC only. Unless an '06 at the right price popped up, that would be great too.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Look for a truck some sucker (like me) stuck a LOT of money in fixing all the shit that went wrong with it in the last 10 years.

O by the way I'm willing to part with mine for the right price. 2005 RC red with black wheels. 62,000 miles but had a fresh rebuild with cam & forged bottom end put in last year. About 10K miles ago. Too much new stuff to list.

I just started this thread below because this question comes up A LOT. So, everyone please feel free to add to the list on the link to help for future searches. Hopefully a full mod can make it a sticky for us.

I hope you have deep pockets. When time come for a new engine plan on spending $25,000.00

I guess we all would, that's why we bought these trucks.... But... I think if we ever did get them, the nostalgia of driving one of these bad girls would lead us to wanting them back.

Don't see myself trading my truck for a car even if it was a Viper.

You and me both man. But I wouldn't mind a Viper either. If I could have both, there is no doubt that I would.

whoever quoted you that must have seen a sucker coming, because it doesn't cost anywhere near that much money.

lightningKILLER · Oct 29, 2015

$25k! wow...you can buy a low mileage 10 for that! lol

En4cer30 · Oct 29, 2015

Hey VPRPWRD, where in PA are you located? I'd PM you, but I don't think I can.

En4cer30 · Oct 29, 2015

2nd question... I would love to find a truly stock SRT, but everything I see has something on it, which is expected.

Are there any modifications I should stay away from? Anything I should/could look for as a tell tale sign it had more mods than currently?

I was looking at one, that has an exhaust, but It may have been supercharged once upon a time.

I think you should move to California Andy. I think you'd be happier.
