zeitgeist57 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Another year, another new package for the oldest model lineup sold in America without a major redesign (so it feels)... http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2018/03/shake-like-polaroid-picture-new-shakedown-package-challenger/#more-1616404 Here’s the thing....they are STILL selling a ton of Challengers (over 60k a year!). It’s relatively cheap and the platform works. In a way, I respect that FCA hasn’t needed to redesign this lineup because it hasn’t needed it. Makes me think that the used market will be flush with these things in a few years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I think the same can be said for the Jeep Grand Cherokee slash Durango. I ended up buying a Durango and it is brilliant. It's been around the same time as the charger and challenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I really like this and would like to get into one of these. The Scat Pack with the 392 would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 The SN197 mustang was sold for 10 years with only one major face lift. They sold more of them than dodge has sold challengers and it hasn't hurt depreciation any. I think what dodge has tapped into is that the V8 market wasn't ready to move up line like ford and GM were pushing and it left a lot of buyers behind who don't want v6 or 4 cyl turbo mustangs and camaros 300hp or not. Since the tooling on the challenger has been paid for long ago dodge can just keep cranking them out at 2009 prices and pick up everyone ford and chebby left behind.

Geeesammy Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 No redesign but man, any of them older than 6 or so years just need SO much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 No redesign but man, any of them older than 6 or so years just need SO much work. Because of deferred maint where owners treat it like its a Honda? Or does the car legit just wear out from build quality like its a third gen camaro?

gillbot Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I had high hopes for my scat pack and Chrysler’s rep for terrible quality. I was disappointed after I had the radiator replaced, and was advised the trans and maybe rear would need rebuilt or replaced also. All this at under 30k miles, so I traded it in. It was fun as hell though and maybe I just didn’t drive it enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 No redesign but man, any of them older than 6 or so years just need SO much work. I have been out of the car world for awhile. What kind of work are these needing? Typical junk dodge suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFo Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Chrysler brakes are a joke. Suspension components are questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
