i was plannin on purchasing a charger an 07 or 06 i love the chargers but ive been hearing a lot of bad things the ones i found has 60k miles or above i was told these cars dont last past 70k mles there known for breaking down is that true?

 

Welcome to the forum prettyboy_81.

The 06 I have has 61K+ with no issues and runs strong. What kind of issues have you heard about?

 

Mine has 92,000 miles and I have had no serious problems.

 

The people that was giving me the information was just telling me that after 70,000 miles i can kiss the engine and the car goodbye because thats when all kind of transmissions and engine problems occur but if you guys have yours and theres nothing wrong with them then i think i will definentlly be purchasing mines i was looking at an sxt what do you guys think?

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO UPLOAD PICS OF UR CHARGERS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM I LOVE THOSE CARS

 

Most likely you will be happy with a SXT. Personally I would swing for the 5.7 RT if it was in budget.

If you perform normal maintenance on the car it should last a good long time.

 

+1 on all that. Even the gas mileage is pretty similiar between the SXT and the R/T, and you get the power on the R/T.

Now, I haven't heard anything about problems on these cars as well. Granted mine only has 11k miles on it, but I am a firm believer that if you maintain it, it will last well into the hundred thousand miles range.

 

Thank you for the information thats the same thing i believed to but when it comes to american cars everybody says the same thing and it got to a point where if everybody is telling you the same thing there must be some kind of truth behind it everyone is tellin me hondas are the car to get but those 4 cyliinders jus aernt me there slow theres no power for nothing but i believe that also but thanks alot and you i love ur rt its beautiful

 

The funny thing about the imports are that everyone knows the engine ARE better, cheaper to maintain, and will last forever - - - IF YOU KEEP IT MAINTAINED!!!! Most people beilieve though that imports don't need the same maintenance, so they wait 20k miles between oil changes, race them like they are a vette, corner them like a ferrari, and put any $5 additive into the engine because they think it is good.

People who buy american, KNOW that the car needs to be maintained. People who buy american usually will change the car after 5 or 6 year mark anyway.

I think the most miles I ran any car/truck was a Ford Escort. Ran it upto 170k before I had to get rid of it. To much to get it pass emmision test back then. Car ran fine, just needed alot of internal work. So I dumped. Ironically, I owned a Honda Prelude and let me tell you what, that car was ready to be replaced at the 120k mark.

Imports are not always as good as they seem. You ever see a Lambo with 100k miles or better? Wonder what problems they would have?

 

You KNo come to think about what you said its so true I have never seen a lambo with that money the most ive seen on one is 17k Ive been through honda before i had a 2000 civic coupe not the si and let me tell you how much trouble that car put me through ive went through 2 engines already until i jus gave up called the junkyard told them to come get it. I refuse to go through that again its not happenening ive always loved the charger i jus never had the money for it before but i can afford it now but because im in school i didnt wana get the rt everyone around here which is miami florida there sticker prices are from 19k and up so i decided on the sxt but i was jus doing some research before i go sign the papers a friend of mines has a 2005 dodge magnum and replaced the engine once already cuz it blew i guess he put another one in and the same thing happened to his and his has 72k on it so im guessing his car jus wasnt blessed or something? Or he probablly blew it him self cuz i dont think he maintained the car real well but hey i believe wat you say is correct Thanks u really halped me alot where are you from?

 

No matter what you buy there is always a possibility you will get a lemon, no one is exempt from this.

You’re doing the right thing asking questions and learning as much as you can so you make an informed decision.
