Unhappy buying 08 r/t awd

what can you tell me aboout this car that has 60k on it. the exhaust is upgraded and its got the premium sound with dvd nav. is it worth the 22k asking price? tranny feels sluggish what should i look out for? they offering me the max care warranty til 100k, good deal? ive been thinking about this for days, please add insight, ive already did my opinion research, any experts here?

Sorry for not getting to you on this. Looks like we have been busy, well at least I have been.

Anyway, did you get it? How do you like it. As far as the price, 22k for an '08 with that mileage seems a little pricey, at least in my area it is.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, but remember, responses may take a while as this is a volunteer style forum. We don't sit around waiting for people to post questions, so be patient. I try to log on daily but sometimes my work gets in the way.

Welcome to the forum.

well... It is a Heavy car with a big V8. as mentioned. MPG is as good as a Truck/SUV at best.
What were you driving and comparing it to? if it gets about the same fuel economy as ur Grand Cherokee, it is about right.

Well, that's wishful thinking. You'll enjoy your AWD RT once you get past the mpg's issue.

Cool

ok i do love it and i got the fully loaded one with touch screen nav... need a nav update tho not willing to pay 200 bucks... and lets just say the previous owner droveit really hard and didnt do any maintenance... where do i begin with trying to restore it to pristine condition? i was thinking working backwards with the service schedules... the dealer sold it to me certified pre owned but as i left the lot, i found out it needs $3000 of wear n tear work, dealer should fix these things but what about the internal parts that arent as obvious?
thanks guys
i bought this car hoping it will drive to 200k with no major problems
i use 87 gas just cause its cheaper and ill be using regular *** oil every 3k
i just want to look cool way after the warranty expires lol
