'06 Dogde Magnum Sxt - Reliable, Comfortable - No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:135381
Location:

Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

I am the second owner of this car. I purchased it in August of '07 from a Dodge dealer in Florida. It had 23K on it. I was working for a large electronics manufacturer at the time and had to carry a large amount of equipment (to show, not delivery) all over 6 states. Trust me, this car can carry a ton of stuff! The mileage is high on the car but, 95% of it is highway mileage. It has always been professionally maintained and adult driven. This is an AMSOIL car and even though my mechanic told me I was wasting my money by doing so, I would have the oil changed every 5000 miles. Needless to say, the engine neither burns or drops oil. The transmission and rear end oil are also AMSOIL. Each tank of fuel was treated with LUCAS fuel treatment.

Original equipment:

  • 3.5L HO (High Output) fuel injected V6
  • Automatic transmission
  • Traction control
  • Heated Leather Seats
  • 8-way Power Driver Seat, 6-Way Power Passenger Seat
  • Power Adjustable Pedals
  • Cruise Control
  • Air Conditioning
  • AM/FM/CD

Added :

  • Pillar mount gauges were added shortly after I bought the car (Voltage/Oil pressure/Water temp). Gauges are multicolor GlowShift.
  • American Racing "Rogue" painted custom wheels. No, not 22's. 17's (same size as original equipment)
  • Magnaflow Performance cat-back SS exhaust system
  • Billet Pistol Grip shift lever
  • Tinted windows
  • Vent Visors
  • SRT8 honeycomb grille inserts 
  • Power Slot Performance brake rotors
  • Hawk Performance HPS (High Performance Street) pads
  • New battery
  • New tires (again, original equipment; Goodyear Integrity) @ 128K miles
  • Current Inspection (11/13)

Things I know to be wrong with the car or issues;

  • The paint on front of the car shows wear from the highway mileage (even though the car has always been kept clean and waxed, Chrysler paint just isn't what it could be!)
  • A stitch is the drivers seat is pulled. It has been like that for a number of years. Since it never spread I never had it repaired (can be seen in picture)
  • Small body damage next to right side tail light. Some very nice person hit it in a parking lot and left. I replaced the taillight.
  • Door ding in passenger door
  • Glowshift water temp gauge stopped working. When the gauges were installed the mechanic kept the original dash mounted temp gauge working and it is operable. These gauges can be purchased for <$50.
  • Indicator lights in drivers side seat heat switch work intermittently. The heat works, just the lights don't sometimes.

The mileage will change before the end of the auction. I plan to take it on a short trip (approximately 200 miles round trip) on Tuesday just to give it a run. Frankly, I wouldn't hesitate to jump in this car and drive across the country. Aside from bringing the car home from Florida, it has made numerous 12 - 14 hour non-stop trips and it has always offered a comfortable ride, and NEVER let me down. This car has always been adult driven (I got it when I was in my 50's) and has never been abused.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]

Thu, 03 Jul 2014



A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
