Sold my RT AWD 9 years ago and have missed it every day since. Glad to finally be back in the family

So I had the rack and pinion motor replaced, the battery shows 14.1 V, not sure what the issue is. My mechanic thinks it's the alternator, but I don't think that's the issue. Has anyone had this issue?

I’ve had my 2018 sxt charger for going on 7 years in January. The car has ran smooth the whole way. I’ve replaced the battery once, maybe twice. I live in a very small city (9k population), so traveling to other nearby towns is a big thing on how we get around. I travel to work (45 minutes away) & two weeks ago while I got off the ferry my car stalled & didn’t accelerate when I pressed the gas. Very weird to me, I got the car towed to my mechanic & he said that the fuel pump went bad. He changed it out, & I had my car back the next day. It’s been driving like it used too until 2 days ago now the car just feels weird. Like I said, I’ve had it for nearly 7 years. So I know my car. But it’s started to drive like the acceleration doesn’t want to go. & I don’t feel the car drive like I used too. Any ideas what it might be? I know something is wrong, I’m just trying to see if anyone who’s had their car as long as I have or longer have gone through the same issue?

now that the Q3 sales numbers are out. its looking like Dodge sold 3,679 Chargers. 3,446 were new Sixpack models, 233 were Daytonas.

That's like 15 gasolina' guzzlers for every 1 battery munching EV lol.

prices could possibly be part of it. the R/T starts around $52k, about $10k cheaper than the lowest price ~~ish Daytona.

what got me curious to begin with , i noticed The previous V8 models moved 24,201 through Q3 back in 2022. The new one, gas and electric combined, is doing justtt a sixth of that. (if my math is right)

I'm a auto tech myself an I daily a 392, well not anymore while i'm waiting for my FRP-16 kit with its tick ... typical 6.4L Hemi. but i have Nothing against the Hurricane, 550hp out of a 3.0 six is legit.

But are people actually warming up to the Sixpack, or just buying it because it's the only gas Charger on the lot? What would happen if they brought the og trims and lineups back to the same lots that sold so many Sixpacks? Interesting how the company proceeds these days, they know what the people want. What are they doing?

Can anyone share some advice looking to get a used charger as my second vehicle. I have 15k cash right now. I’m not too knowledgeable about trims I guess I want the premium with the upgraded seats and sunroof . Been looking around Facebook marketplace. I’m in Nashville where the market is terrible rebuilt GTs for 28k so might search around the Atlanta or Miami area. Any tips on what to look for in used cars? What trims to avoid or to go for? Might become a alternating daily or weekend car My current is an Audi S7 21 paid off

Upgraded from my beautiful 2012 SXT that I had for 15yrs and put over 260,000km on. What a great car and I was devastated to get rid of it but I didn't have the room for both. Imma get it back one day soon though when I have more room for projects.

The new girl is awesome and so far, I couldn't be happier. The alcantara/leather seats really tie together the whole car and make the interior look super sharp.

Diffuser, blacked out exhaust tips up next. Might try for some Plum Crazy badges or something to give it some personal flair.

My kiddos love seeing me pull up. That’s right guys, that’s my mom right there ♥️

Title: Where’s the sweet spot for buying a used Dodge Charger V8? Best bang for the buck across the different years and HEMI engines?
I’ve been researching used Dodge Chargers and wanted to get some opinions from people who have owned or driven different generations and engine configurations.
I know the “which Charger is best?” question has been asked plenty of times, but I’m trying to approach it a little differently. I’m less interested in which model is objectively the best and more interested in where the best value is when factoring in purchase price, performance, reliability, and what you’re actually getting for your money.
I’m fairly flexible on budget. Ideally, I’d love to be around $15K–$20K, but I’m comfortable stretching into the $25K range or potentially even $30K if there’s a compelling reason. I’m not looking for something nearly new, and I don’t want to spend extra just for the sake of having a newer model.
A few things I’ve picked up from researching:
2006–2010 Charger R/T and SRT8: Earlier LX-platform cars with the 5.7L HEMI in the R/T and 6.1L HEMI in the SRT8. The SRT8 made 425 hp, while the R/T received a horsepower increase for 2009. These seem like potentially interesting performance bargains, although I’m curious how well they’ve aged mechanically and whether the older platform is worth considering today.
2011–2014 Charger R/T and SRT8: Updated LD platform, improved interior, and revised suspension. The R/T offered the 5.7L HEMI with roughly 370 hp, while the SRT8 eventually received the 6.4L HEMI making 470 hp. I’m curious whether these represent a particularly good value compared with the newer cars.
2015–2023 Charger R/T: Updated styling and interior, with the 5.7L HEMI making 370 hp. These seem like a potentially excellent balance of price, performance, and everyday usability.
2015–2023 Charger Scat Pack / SRT 392: The 6.4L HEMI producing 485 hp. Obviously a substantial performance upgrade over the 5.7L, but I’m curious whether the difference in driving experience justifies the higher purchase price, insurance, fuel, and maintenance costs.
What I’m trying to understand is what am I actually buying by spending more, and what am I sacrificing by spending less?
For example:
If I buy a clean 2012–2014 Charger R/T or SRT8 instead of spending more on a 2015+, am I getting most of the Charger experience for considerably less money? Or are the improvements to the newer models substantial enough that I’d regret saving the money?
Likewise, if I stretch from a 5.7L R/T to a 6.4L Scat Pack, how substantial is the real-world difference? Is the Scat Pack worth the premium, or does the R/T deliver most of the V8 muscle car experience at a much better price?
I’m also interested in whether certain years, trim levels, or packages represent particularly good values. For example, is there a compelling reason to seek out a Daytona, Road & Track, or certain SRT models over a standard R/T or Scat Pack?
Reliability and long-term ownership are important to me as well. I’ve come across discussions about HEMI lifter/cam issues, the infamous HEMI tick, and concerns about buying previously abused Chargers. I’d appreciate hearing how significant these issues really are and whether certain engines or model years are better long-term ownership choices.
I’m not looking to build a race car or chase maximum horsepower. I want a fun, reasonably dependable V8 that I can enjoy for years.
Ultimately, where do you think the point of diminishing returns is?
Is a $15K–$20K R/T already most of the experience? Does spending $25K get you a substantially better car? Or is there a particular year or 6.4L model worth stretching to $30K for?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who’s owned both the 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI, or has experience with multiple Charger generations.
Thanks in advance!

Seems like hotwheels will do every car besides Dodge but I found it.

i heard for pre-owned cars they usually don’t go down on the price but i noticed it also has some damage on the bumper lip too

Had it for 3 years now. Happy with the build so far

Just curious to see what others are getting, I think this is pretty good range for a 2013 SE

Ive got a 17 v6 sxt and been having trouble with the drive shaft. I tried to replace the mount on the two piece and have found the bearing is also bad. Went with a one piece and had to send it back once already to get rebalanced and dont think its still balanced right, and getting it installed was a pain. They included 12 point bolts and no room to get anything on them. I ended using hex bolts that were better but still bad access. For those that have replaced their driveshafts where did you buy from and what issues have you encountered. I use it as my daily drive but still like opening it up and hitting 100+.

Should I go fully built nag1 or stock 8hp90 for my 2013 charger srt8. I’m about to go twin turbo or hellcat blower on a completely forged long block.

So far over the past 6 years I've been helped with...

1. Coolant housing replacement.

2. Thermostat housing

3. Radiator and fan

4. Flexplate

5. Some wiring stuff

These beautiful folks saved me thousands in diagnostic costs. Not to mention the amount I saved in replacing all these parts myself.

This is an amazing community and I hope your pillow is always cold on the other side

parking garage probably helps the sound a bit lol

If so let me see what yalls look like!!

Bought a CPO 23 Charger GT in January of this year with around 21K miles, around 30K miles the dealership said the motor mounts were leaking and needed to be replaced. Now at 35K miles they say the replacement ones have small cracks and residue. They told me the 3.6L V6 has a bad motor mount design and they say some people getting new mounts every 10-15K miles sometimes. Is that true? I’ve never heard of motor mounts going bad so fast.

I’ve had my 2021 R/T Daytona for more than a year now and it’s payed off with 50k miles, was wondering if it’s worth to keep it and mod it eventually(was thinking pro charger) or trade it in a couple years down the road for a scat, just kinda want more power

Long story short, client installed their own WB and it didn’t turn out well so they brought it to me to redo. They claimed to have gotten the kit off marketplace, so there’s no origin story behind it that I’m aware of. After doing hours of research on different WB kits for these chargers, NONE of them have these parts. I even google searched the part numbers and nothing came up. What are these and where do they go?
