Why I am Selling
I bought this car in New York after my fiancee wrecked her CRD Grand Cherokee last summer.  We put a lot of miles on it in the first few months, but I had her Jeep rebuilt and back on the road by September.  We garaged this car through winter, and now we don't seem to drive it that much.  We are having a hard time justifying the car payment, so it's time to sell it.  It needs to belong to someone who is going to drive and enjoy it.

Exterior
I would rate the exterior an 8/10.  It has minor scuffs and scratches that come with cars of this age and mileage.  There are two significant scratches of note (see pictures): the first is on the hood at the front edge just right of the striping and is approximately 2"x5", and the second is on the driver's rear view mirror and is approximately 4" long.  I have not tried to work these out.  The car also has some errant wax on the lower trim.  I intended to have it detailed, only to find my detailer has gone out of business.  It could use a good wax and buff to make it really shine.

Interior
I would rate the interior a 9/10.  The leather has some creases forming on the outside bolsters on the driver's seat (common for a car of this age and mileage), but I cannot find a rip or tear in any seat or section of the carpet.  It has been kept clean the entire time it has been with us.  We're in our 30s, we don't smoke, and we don't have kids.

Modifications
There are two aftermarket parts added by the previous owner: a K&N cold air intake and a Mopar T-handle shifter.  All US SRT-8 and R/T Challengers come with a mini air compressor and a fix-a-flat blend for any flat tires because normal spare tires wouldn't clear the massive brakes.  I went and got a hub adapter, 18" spare tire, a jack, and the lug wrenches needed to give this car a legitimate spare tire.  I still have the mini compressor and I believe I have the Styrofoam insert for the spare tire well, and will gladly include these.  I just didn't want the risk of getting stranded with no spare tire.
 
Maintenance
We have only used the Mobil 1 0w40 recommended on the oil cap.  We have changed the oil when it tells us to.  Given the average intervals, it should be due for an oil change any day.  I will be sure to change the oil before it sells so any buyer doesn't have to worry about a change oil message on their way home.  We also replaced the rear tires with Yokohama Parada Spec-Xs a few months ago.  The front tires have about 20% of their tread left and do stick well.  I would guess they have about 4-5,000 miles left.  Replacements to match the rears can be found at Discount Tire.

Accident History
We have not had any incidents in the year that we have owned it.  A title history check shows there is a minor accident or act of vandalism occurring before we owned it, despite still having a clear title.  I cannot speak definitively as it happened in New York to the previous owner, but I cannot find a bad line on the car.  Additionally, there was a large spot of stained clear near the fuel filler when I bought the car.  It completely buffed out, leading me to believe this was an act of vandalism.  Again, I cannot speak definitively, but I encourage you to inspect the car if you can and verify its condition.

Shipping
I love driving across the US.  If you don't and want it delivered for less, we can work out a deal.  I can also pick you up at the airport (ABQ) or work with any auto transport service you hire to move the car.  I am extremely flexible and will do everything I can to help.

Payment
As mentioned before, we have a loan on the car.  HOWEVER, I have arranged alternate financing to get the title released in the event it sells.  I will need 7-10 days to process my funding and get the title released and in hand.  I do not require anything beyond the deposit before the transaction to get the title in-hand and ready to transfer.  Any payments of the balance must come in the form of cash or a certified check.  I have a bank that is available Monday-Saturday, and we can schedule a time to meet there and complete the transaction.

Inspections, Questions, etc.
If you would like to have the car inspected or you have any questions, please let me know.  I am quick to respond to emails, and I will likely load the eBay app on my phone so I can respond even faster during this auction.  Please do not hesitate to ask a question or make an offer.  The worst I can say is no.  Thanks for looking at this ad!

Disclaimers

I have this vehicle for sale on multiple sites.  It is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the transaction up to 7 days prior.  If any cancellation occurs, full notice will be given and any monies exchanged will be returned.  This is a used vehicle and comes for sale as-is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied with the car.

Dongfeng and PSA extend Chinese joint venture

Thu, Dec 19 2019

BEIJING/PARIS — China's Dongfeng and Peugeot maker PSA are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA). Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA's new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said. PSA was not immediately available for comment. The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company. Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA's roughly $50 billion (GBP38.97 billion) merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA. The sale of Dongfeng's shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world's fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes. "As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China," a Dongfeng representative said. On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA's Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA. Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
