I guess it's not a bad dilemma to have, but...

I've got my eye on two Charger SRT-8s. One is local, but only has option package I on it. The other is about 1100 miles away and has Option package III plus a couple other options (fully loaded).

The local one is slightly more expensive (go figure!), but if I include the cost of shipping the other one here, they're equal.

The local one also has a very nice sounding Magnaflow cat-back on it ($900) and an Airaid CAI ($330).

I'm planning to lease this thing for 2 years, so I didn;t really want to drop $1,200+ on these parts, plus labor to install them, just to give them up with the car in 2 years. Otherwise I'd jsut get the hi-option car shipped here.

WHAT SHOULD I DO??? [:-]

 

Its up to you Performance or creature comforts?

I dunno whats all included in options but my parents srt8has the minimum an its still plenty comfy. although on the cold mornings heated seat are nice. I don't even know if thats an option.

Anyway i'd go for the local. Cuz i'm all about performance. Plus I'd show them the price difference on the 2 and talk them down,how can something with less options cost more? Unless the millage is way different between the two, in that case i'd want less miles.

you can say omg look its been modifiedwith exhaust an intake who wants that???(In your head thinking heck yea i do) then saywell ill take it as it is if you knock the price down a little more!!

 

I would choose the one thats farther away because of the modd's. Although the modd's are the mildest but that shows that the previous most likely drove the car harder then most.

 

Well, it turns out I was able to get the local dealer to come off their price pretty well - enough to more than offset the options on the car I'd need shipped in. Asking price was originally $35K and I got it for $31,300. Not too bad considering it's perfect and only has 7K miles. Let the Christmas morning feelings begin!

I'll need to post some pics once I get my greasy paws on it.

 

I made a new post with the pics! [8D]
