SRT8-Specific General DiscussionGeneral Discussion specific to the SRT8 models. If your topic is not specific to the SRT8, please post it in the All Models Forums.
Hello from Downunder TX Rider and fellow forum members. I suggest it is probably not the car for someone who is striving to get through university. Over here they are expensive to buy,expensive to maintain and are not that great on fuel. But what ever lights your fire!!!! I have a 2009 SRT8 and its the best car that I have ever owned. If you want one and can afford to buy same and afford the fuel and tyres I would go ahead. Here in Oz I am a Plumber. About 100K per year depending on economic situations. Smokey Bear was saying fuel in USA was $3.27 per gallon. Here at present we are paying depending on the day $1.50 to $1.60 per litre ($6.00 to $6.40 per gallon). A good set of tyres for a SRT 8 will set you back between $2000.00 to $2,500.00 per set of four fitted. i.e. Good quality tyres. I have my SRT insured for an agreed value of $45,000.00 attracting a premium of $597.00 Aust.
As I said before my Chrysler is the best car that I have owned in 38 years of driving. I ride motorcycles also and the acceleration of the SRT is like riding a four wheel bike if you know what I mean. Power to burn.
I presently have a slight leak on my from right hand strut(Shockie). Can anyone suggest a good quality aftermarket replacement (set) and where would be the best place to buy same.
Trusting everyone had a Merry X Mas and have a great New Year.
Airline pilot above 100k. I pay 340 every six months for two cars. My airport car is a 1997 Camry. Full coverage on the SRT and only liability on the Toyota . I'm 56 looking forward to retirement in the near future.
I'm a 33 year old spy... ahem... OK that was a lie... I'm a submarine captain... OK that's a lie as well... I'm just a boring architect! Wage $80-110k a year depending on contracts. Insurance $860/6mths for 06 C, 09 Smart Fortwo Brabus, 2005 Honda Civic LX... both myself and my wife.

dont be stupid. you are just outta school and already wanna go in debt. get a job, save your money for a rainny day. A car is just a thing and its not that importent. i am 54 yrs old and i did alot of saving until i got into a comfortable place to afford the things i have now. its a lot nicer when you can afford them instead of being broke because your checks go to the bank every week

Very true. I felt blessed being able to buy my first 300 when I was 19 and three years later had it paid off and traded it
In on my srt. So now I'm 24 and have had two 300's first a base and now a srt I'm happy that I saved. Oh and also happy that north dakota has great jobs where you can easily make over 100k haha

I'm 29, turn the big 30 next month and my wife doesnt let me forget it LOL! I've been in the Navy for 12 years and some change now, do the math. I'm an Aviation Machinist' Mate which is a fancy way of saying an engine mechanic for aircrafts. Money isn't great but it sustains my habits. Overseas is where its at for money in the military.
I'm spoiled though, my first duty station was Tinker AFB in OKC OK from 2000-2004. I got hitched and had my first born son here. I moved to Rota, Spain in the summer of 2004 and had my daughter in the spring of 2005, we then moved to Misawa Japan in 2007 where I had my youngest son and moved back to OKC in 2010. Hopefully I move back overseas because I enjoy other countries' cultures.
My job consists of the upkeep of aircraft engines in the Navy, I'm certified to work on the CFM56-2-2A on the E-6B Mercury aircraft and the all famous T56-A-14 on the P-3 aircraft. I'm also certified to run various test cells in the Navy but hopefully I will never have to, this means being on a large boat with thousands of people in the middle of a large pond.
I'm 33 and work as a field service rep for an aviation engine leasing company. I do turbine engine maintenance and borescope inspections. I get to travel the world 6-7 months out of the year with a salary ranging from 60k-90k. It all depends on how much I am willing to travel and how much my family tolerates.
I bought my 2006 300C SRT8 with 25,578 miles at a price tag of $24,300. I hate monthly payments so I paid it off within the third month. My insurance is $1,368 a year. I don't drive it much due to my travels which I am fortunate for because I travel 48 miles both ways to and frm work when I'm in town.
