Now I am thinking about trading to Srt8 - what should I do?

I went and test drove a used 2012 srt8 and really feel there is a big difference there. I just bought my 300s and already dumped $2500 in her. Should I trade her in and get the hit or try and sell her? Sticker was 41k and I paid high 30's...I don't want to take a 10k hit plus the difference in the two cars...anyone know someone that might want a modified S or should I just keep modding this thing?

I have a line on a srt8 for low 40's...

How much more are you going to put in the 300S?

I don't know - I need to stop that is for sure...I see a body kit and wheels in the future which is crazy bc I would have just been happy with the srt8 the way it is...

I see 2013 300s's selling for what I paid for it used so I don't think I am crazy for asking a reasonable number with 1500 miles on her...what do you suggest?

If you get the SRT8 would you not mod it? I would spreadsheet it out and be honest with yourself about what you would spend if you got the SRT8. Like for me. I would mod anything I own.

I did - tint it and that would be it...it already has a nice exhaust sound.

I don't want wheels or suspension on the srt8 because to be honest stock is always best in that aspect. After seeing mine next to the srt8 I want to do the body kit and wheels(i know what just said) but they look measley next to mine - the steering wheel and interior carbon....that is why I keep thinking the 300 will cost me more

If I could do it and lose less than what wheels and a body kit would run me then I would do it. Assuming you are good with the deal on SRT8

I say sell all the add ons return to stock and tell the dealer to take it as a trade for the same money they offered and pony up and pull the triger on the Srt.

You don't have a choice. An SRT8 is now your destiny whatever the hit.
