I have found an AWD v8, 41k miles, black, with gray leather.
magnaflow mufflers, gps, heated seats....moonroof...basically loaded for around 15k...

What type of gas mileage can i expect? The books says 1 mpg loss compared to a std R/T.

Actual City and High........

Does a magnum have any engine or tranmission problems? Maintenance expensive?

i average 18 with mix of city/highway and a heavy foot. price sounds good.

 

Thanks for the response. I was wondering if anyone was going to respond.

Have you had any maintenace issues? Is your car expensive to drive?

thanks jpc

 

i have an 06 r/t rwd and i get basically 13-14 mpg city if i'm lucky.. and that isn't with a heavy foot either

 

I wonder why some folks see better mpg vs. others? I wonder if it depends on the blends on gasoline.

thanks for your input.

I have an 07 R/T AWD and I am averaging 19.5, based on the On-Board computer. I did not check the computer's acuracy(Miles driven divided by Gallons added) yet but I know that my last vehicle (an 06 Dodge Ram Diesel) the computer was less than perfect - roughly 1.5 MPG off. My 07 only has 3500 miles and I do expect some increase with break-in. I imagine that elevation, Fuel Type, Driving Habits, Driving Conditions, as well as Road Conditions effect MPG - this may explain some of the variances.

 

Good point and many thanks!

 

I test drove the HEMI AWD today. I was impressed with the power band. I could diffently tell when the car was using the 4 or 8 mode.

Does any have low valve ping when they start up their HEMI's? The car i test drove seemed to have a mild chatter. I am not familar with the 5.7 HEMI engine. I believe before i move forward this car would need an inspection from a certified dodge dealer to help reduce my worries.

PS if anyone is interested in purchasing a Magnum now....please don't hesitate to low ball dealer. Dealers are having a tough time selling V8 cars. I am starting to see the magnum r/ts drop in value quickly. I have seen 40k miles R/T loaded for 12950....and the car is clean, but accross the street the dealers are asking 20k-22k.

The AWD i tested today...they are asking 17k, 40k miles on her. I believe with my trade, my car is worth nothing, i could land this car for around 12. The car tested seems to have every option but a DVD player.

any thoughts?

 

i am going to look at the same model vehicle on tuesday. is there anything in particular i need to check out? also what can dodge change/activate with the starscan on the magnums?

 

I would assume you would need to replace the chip to gain performance, unless you are meaning something else.

I wish the operator had more control on the 4 cyclinder set up. I wonder if someone is creating a set up to manual move the engine from an 8 to 4.

Chevy's have an indicator when the car is using 4 vs 8. Does dodges have the same options to visual montior when your car is using the 4 mode vs the 8?
