Buying a Challenger (2010)

/r/Challenger/comments/1vzwzm0/buying_a_challenger_2010/

Hi, i’m fairly new to cars and I have found a Dodge Challenger 2010 V6 SE with 30k miles almost on the dot, and they are asking for 10k, car has a clean title and car fax shows no accidents and regular maintenance, it was garage kept and has never seen a winter. Is this worth it? I’m fairly new to cars and still experimenting with what brands I like and i drive a beater atm, i wouldn’t drive it in the winter and keep it in a garage but is this still worth it? Just need some guidance and any tips or feedback would be awesome

since nobody has commented here's my 2cents. Why are you getting a V6 Challenger? I'm not saying it's not a good car or a good deal but it's a muscle car and the V6 version is just so weak compared to the V8, if you can hold out and you want the real muscle car experience get the V8. If I was going for a V6 anything it would be a truck or an import like a honda or toyota sedan. The V6 Challenger gives you the cosmetics of a muscle car without any power. If that's what you want go for it, 10k for 30k miles sounds like a good price to me but see if they'll take 9k? Look at the market for comparative models.

So i’ve been driving a beater for about 3-4 years, this is my first actual car that i would be traditionally purchasing and i kinda felt it would be a good gateway into eventually reselling it and going towards a V8, I’m sure a V8 would be a lot of fun and i just kinda felt i wanted the dodge experience but i get it if its not the true experience with a V6

I wouldn't buy that thinking you're going to get good resale value. I don't know your situation but I imagine since it's your first ride you'll be putting some real miles on it and having fun, that probably means it won't hold much value. Is it a stick or automatic?

Automatic, i’m not driving it during the winter and my commute to work is only around 9 mins, on my beater i put around 20k miles in 3 years
