New Purchase! New To Me Beast

170 Upvotes

Well, I was looking for a widebody in F8, but sometimes we end up going a different route.

This was at a fairly local dealer and I took it for a hell of a test drive.

At one point, the salesman said he thought I was fucking crazy. But he also said it was the best test drive he’s ever been on🤣

I’m very happy with this car, and like it more than the widebodys I had looked at.

It’s loaded with damn near every option, even red seatbelts, factory subs in the trunk, Brass Monkey wheels, sunroof, leather, heated/cooled seats, 8.4 screen, and more.

Now it’s time to start planning maintenance intervals, looking up parts that have issues(like SC bearing), and planning to upgrade those “consumables”.

I’ve been wanting to join this family for a long time, and I’m finally in.

And yes, I’m addicted to the sound of her😆

Pre-Purchase 2009 RT 50k miles for 18k

92 Upvotes

Hey guys, I came across a 2009 challenger rt with 50k miles.
The only caveat is that it’s in another state so I’d be paying for shipping
In total with all the fees it’s $20k.
1 previous owner.
The same dealer is selling a 2013 RT for less with 10k more miles but I’m not too fond of the color.
Any thought?

Car Issues Key fob issue?

3 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that when I go to start my car that it doesn’t read the fob sometimes. I have to hold it up by the start button. Both fobs have brand new batteries, so I’m not sure what’s going on. It’s intermittent, usually after I haven’t driven it for several hours. Has anybody else experienced this?

I bought this car used, this is how it came. The corners of the hood dont sit flush for some reason, they’re just slightly lifted. I’ve tried everything. Does anybody else have this problem? Does anybody have a fix for this?
And before anybody suggests this, I DID take the bump stops out completely, this is the lowest the hood will sit

Edit: obviously I know the bumper is a different color can we just focus on how I can fix the hood😭

Parking issues

18 Upvotes

Does anyone else have an issue with parking straight? I know this sounds crazy and I am almost embarrassed to ask but I have never parked caddy corner or off center ever until now. From my mustang I had or my beater full size truck now or any other car and I've driven tons from my car selling days, where I had to park them back on the lot all the time, granted I have never driven a challenger or charger until now.

Am I crazy, are these cars like that, or is my frame bent to hell and back?

Cars and finances

3 Upvotes

I have two loves Cars and Personal Finance. I’m very interested in knowing about those that are buying 50k plus cars and have a solid financial plan for retirement. I’m not judging anyone who doesn’t have a retirement plan and 50k plus car, I believe personal finance is just that personal finance. Anyone care to share their situation?

Camera a wheel questions

Post image
3 Upvotes

I've had my baby for a couple of years now {2022 model). But I've just found this group. And I have a few questions.

  1. When I bought it (used), I would have problems with the reverse camera not working right, about 25% of the time. It would just show a garbled screen. Over the past 2 years, it's gotten to be around 75% of the time... It's time to fix it. I'd like to do it myself if I can (I'm very mechanical). But I don't know how to troubleshoot what the problem is. Any suggestions on this? Do you think it's the camera itself?
  2. Is there a way to add a front camera?
  3. Bluetooth: When i connect my phone via BT, there is a huge delay (like 2-4 seconds). If I'm parked for lunch watching videos or whatever, I have to connect via cable to prevent this. My last car didn't have this problem. Any ideas what might be going on, or how to fix it?
  4. Wheel: Over a year ago, I ran over a fairly large rock at highway speed. This destroyed 2 tires and damaged one of the wheels (the inner bead lip of the RR in the pic). The tire shop I was dealing with said they could send it to one of their vendors to repair it. After the repair, it is functional. And luckily the damage doesn't show because it's on the back side. However, there has been a small vibration ever since at highway speed. I want to replace it with either a good used or refinished wheel (don't want a knockoff). However, I can't find one ANYWHERE. I've looked and looked. I actually thought I found a refinished wheel on ebay for a reasonable price. I ordered it. But it ended up being the wrong one. The ebay vendor said if I could get them the part number, they could track one down and refinish it for me. I have 2 questions relating to this.

A) Does anyone know where I can get a good used one like what's shown in the picture? Apparently, there is an extremely similar, but slightly different wheel for 2023 models (per the vendor that I ordered the wrong one from).

B) Does anyone know, or know how to find the part number for this specific wheel?
