Talk me out of getting a Charger Scatpack

TBH..the color options and appearance/performance packages that Chrysler is offering on the Last Call Chargers and Challengers is . I'm not a Dodge guy, but I'm half tempted to call our Chrysler store and see what employee pricing is on one of those. Might have to buy one of them, leave it stock, then pull it back out in 20 years

Ain’t gon lie. I know they made a bunch of them but I wouldn’t doubt that in 20 yrs you’d be hard pressed to fine a completely never modified stock scat pack/Hellcat. And when I say never modified I’m talking engine AND body.

Most scats and hellcats I see are riced out with wings, light kits, tinted windows, and stickers everywhere with a loud ass exhaust

Spend 60K to have what everybody else has...

If you are doing it for status...do you.

There are dozens of more interesting things to do with 60K if you're a car guy.

What should he get then? Europeans are expensive to maintain and you have to get rid of them at 50k miles. Hemi will hit 150k easy. Japanese don't have V8s nor performance.

Only other option is for him to build car.

After 50k miles the car is trash

No it ain't. That's only European cars.

Read the Mopar forums. Dudes are getting 100k+ miles on Hemi

240,000 Miles on a Scat Pack Charger 300,000 update...

I don't post much here, but for whatever reason I checked back in, and thought I'd share my experience with a high mileage charger. These cars are starting to age just a bit, and I'm sure the used market will be strong with their cancellation in 2023. Maybe a post about a high mileage one will...

You don't have to get rid of a car at 50K miles. Depends on how you maintain it, and there are extended warranties.

I don't agree with you on no performance Japanese vehicles. Lexus RCF and ISF are V8 examples...

Depends on his taste. You have the Z, Supra, WRX, Civic Type R, Infiniti Q60 etc.

To your point of building...

Yes. You could get most anything classic, Chevelle SS, Monte, Regal, Any Impala, Coupe Deville, etc done for about 60 and it will keep its value.

I personally have the knowledge and desire to build.

Not everything is for everybody.

The answer to the question is whatever he wants at the end of the day.

Buy what makes you happy. Stop giving a fukk about what other people want.

Either way, you have to get rid of a European car, they aren't meant for long term. Once that warranty is up, it's over with. And we not gone talk about possibly getting stranded.

So if you don't want a car note forever, European ain't it. Japanese cars, followed by American cars last for 15+ years and easy to work on. If you're ok with a car note, then yeah keep trading the European for another.

I'm not sure what you mean by the bolded.

He was asking about buying a Scat Pack, people was suggesting other options which weren't really good choices. A BMW M5 is crazy expensive to maintain. If money is no option, then yeah go that route.

If we going the 'rare' daily driver route, then he'll have to build something modern. A Lexus GSF supercharged is a good option. Or Cadillac CTSv.

The caddy might be tough. Good example.

He made a thread asking us to talk him out of getting a Charger. At that point, other people will chime in with their opinions.

I mean the engines hold up but the interior is straight doodoo breh. I had a 2016 charger and the door panels were peeling near the window and near the center console at 40k miles. Had to sell it with the quickness. Plus it had max squeaks overall.

Mopar owners don't care about interior. It's a Mean mugging muscle car. I have a 2015 Durango and it looks immaculate, not sure what's wrong with yours.


Get you a German if you want luxury interior, just make sure you get rid of it after 60k miles because they don't last. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a RS7, but you need hella bank.


Or you can go for Lexus GSF or Cadillac, but dudes complain about them interiors too.
