Got My Magnum
Well, I went to the local dealership and found my Magnum.
2006 SXT AWD. Nicely loaded.. former Med rep car... so high miles... 67K
Sirius radio, Hands-free phone system, Auto dim mirror, High output engine, (3.5L), Magnesium Pearl paint, adjustable pedals, 5 speed auto trans... more things I havent found yet.
I feel I got it at a good price... $13,600.00.

RE: Got My Magnum
Dijon,
I picked up a 2005 SXT with 11,000 on it. I'm now at 92,000 and have had minimal problems. The plugs are a pain in the butt to change, and no trans dip stick is a pain. I picked up an after market trans dip stick at Auto Zone so I can at least tell if the fluid is up and hasn't gone bad.
I'm not sure if the AWD will affect this, but I put the Borla exhaust on mine (available through you dodge dealership). It's a bolt on and gives the 3.5 a little more HP. Adding a K&N FIPAC cold air intake will also help.
Again mine is not AWD so this may not apply exactly but, I'm getting 24mpg average, freeway and city driving.
This is an excellent salesman's car.

RE: Got My Magnum
Been driving my Magnum all over the place. Love the ride and feel of the car!
My first real mileage check showed about 18mpg (mostly hi-way). I was pushing it over 80 a bit so I expected it to be lower. I noticed that when I was running it hard, it drained the fuel faster (
- duh).. on the return leg of that trip I kept it at about 75.. much better... this was the overall of 18mpg.
I about a week, I will be making a similar trip... and will keep the speed more even. and recheck the mileage.
I am looking at getting replacement tires.. it has GY Assurance on it now... and was thinking of some Pirelli 45k tires to put on...
Car is still all stock.. no mods... yet. Suggestions on computer performance mods for engine performance?
