I would think buying a used SRT-8 requires balls of steel or at the very least a large reserve fund. Those vehicles can't have been treated nicely.
It depends. The first one linked looks like it was owned by a fanatical owner.
And merely driving a vehicle as it was intended doesn't mean it was abused. This a burly V8 with a robust AWD...getting on the loud pedal would be no biggie.
My Supra literally has dozens upon dozens of dyno runs and hundreds of track passes. And it was still immaculate in every way.
In the end, it's due diligence when buying a car...not that the car was high performance.
I mean...was your FIL 911TT a pile of
because the intended use of that car isn't exactly a grocery getter. No...I'm guessing it was still mint the day he sold it.
So I stand by my suggestion. The poster at times has said he loves muscle cars. He also wants a jeep. The SRT 8 scratches both of those itches. Sure it's older, but I've seen many pristine examples....seems as those many of these are owned by fanatics.
