I would buy the SRT and never look back, but thats just me. Sounds like a deal too good to pass up. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Sure the payments drop because they are extending the term; you'll be in debt longer.

I wouldn't make this decision based on the monthly payment. The real question is "Is the SRT8 worth $9500 more to me than my current car?" If the answer is yes, then go for it! THEN negotiate the payments.

You might also shop around on insurance; I realize insurance rates vary by region, but when my dad went from a 5.7 "C" to an SRT8, his insurance only changed by a few bucks every 6 months.

Done, done and done!!! I wouldn't have thought about it twice. If your wife gives you any lip, tell her it's the SRT or a divorce lawyer

DO IT........Its evident that you WANT to do this.....if you don't you'll have regrets later. The more you wait the longer you're missing out.

Go to the dealership today and drive that baby home.
