Ordered my RT on my 36th Birthday. Had to wait just under (3) Months to "Unwrap" my present. And what a present it is.... Youngest of (3) is now (7) years old, so it was time to get out of the Mini Van, then, along came the Magnum.... Perfect timing. The whole family loves this car. This is the first NICE car that I have ever owned. Have owned several new vehicles, but never one THIS nice. Had the car in for some repairs and my (7) year old says to me about the loaner car, "Dad, this doesn't even have leather". Just (2) weeks in the Magmun has spoiled their perception.

I do, however, have a 2002 Dodge Dakota SXT waiting in the garage for me, and right now I drive my 1996 Suzuki GS500E back/forth to work/school.Ya'll sure do have some REALLY nice cars.

I love my new Magnum! I have not had any of the problums that I see on the post about the transmissions. In fact...I drove it cross country from CT to CA. I'm 25 years old and dont see the car as an old persons car, but as a car from the late 60's early 70's when I should have been born. It rocks!!

Wow, so many different cars from so many different age groups. Everything from euros to good ole american muscle. I'm 25, a young guy with very little extra money to spend. I make under $40K and support my wife while she and I finishes up school. I consider myself lucky though, married under one year, bought a condo about 6 months ago, and got the best damn car I've ever owned. Things couldn't get better, unless I won the lottery. I've owned 3 new vehicles in my life and about half a dozen used. Since 2001 I've had:
2001 Chevy S-10 Xtreme (totally tricked out!!!!!)
2003 Dodge Ram Hemi 2wd (wanted something bigger with more capabilities)
2005 Dodge Magnum SXT (needed something with better gas mileage; you can only imagine that I'm in up to my neck with the Mag being upside down twice since the S-10, but hey its just money!)
