Watch This BEFORE You Buy a Dodge Charger SRT8!

425HP for under $15,000 may seem tempting but take a moment to watch this video before you buy the Dodge Charger SRT8.
i recommend you get a scatpack or daytona r/t instead

My father and I both took excellent care of the car and it paid us for our efforts, we never, ever had an issue with the car. It was so fucking reliable. Even after 10 years of age it never made any annoying sounds. No squeaks, no rattles, nothing. It's gone from Toronto to Florida many times. It had about 230K KMs on it at the time of the accident, it got there with regular servicing, oil changes, etc. Take care of your cars people, and they will take care of you.

Everything this guy says is BULLCRAP. I've owned my '06 Srt8 for several years, and not experienced anything other than the stereo blacking out and replacing the left control arm. And yes, I drive it hard. Always have. If these engines "blew up" on people all the time, don't you think you'd have heard about it by more people than just him?? You think Chargers would still be selling today with almost the same identical engine? It's a load of crap by a guy who wants shock value to promote his videos. Don't listen to him. I've driven my Srt8 from Washington to California Bay area back and forth twice at joy-riding speeds, with no issues whatsoever. Were the most incredible, supercar performance trips, and absolutely the most fun I've ever had driving in my life!! Stop thinking you have to have the latest, fastest car on the road to have fun. That's just EGO-REASONING. For the feel, sounds, and sights that this car brings, .....it is AMAZING. I replaced the exhaust, including upgrading CAI, throttle body and spacer, added the Pedal Commander throttle response controller, and that's it, and this car pulls hard and sounds so amazing that you want to drive it with the windows down in 40 degree weather. Don't deny yourself an incredible driving experience on a budget because of this silly post from a guy too cheap to make regular maintenance repairs. Peace!!

[@mannyaraujo1]

[@geekout368]

289k miles on mine no issues with transmission nor motor, at most I replaced the suspension for an after market one and the biggest thing I had to fix was a timing belt that was shot when I first bought it. It’s a modern car to many variables, so like any other modern car you have to take care of it. Recently got a 100k mile one for my sister, that i got off of some one that took poor care of it and had to replace a few things but even then it’s been kicking with no issues after that. You might have gotten one with crap quality control, those always pop up here and there

[@zakanger8285]

I've owned my 2007 srt8 for 4 years now.. I've beaten the hell out of it and have NEVER had any serious issues, few minor issues. Few of the issues were loose bearings, bad thermostat, and struts always giving out. AFTER I upgraded struts never had the issue again. It did heat up a little too much during the texas summer when drag racing or street racing but that was early fixed with a engine oil cooler. Again, I've had no issues with the car, but have upgraded small things here and there. Transmission is strong as ever, motor runs like Usain bolt! I've heard alot of bad stories about this car but I've not had any. Of course it was a one owner too and was owned by a lady who was in real estate.

@Raul Aguilar These factory radiator fans go out a lot and run at very low RPMs, it’s gonna be hard to find anything performance cooling wise for these cars.

And I would 100% recommend getting a new radiator fan assembly as that’s the most overheating problems. My cars water pump is fine and also the radiator itself.

I remember him nailing that thing and that was it... Finally got one in '15 and from the second week of ownership it had already began to fall apart. The short version is 22 service calls in 24 months, ACC sensors every month, trans, radiator, fans, brakes, computer, and 2 rear ends and the grand finale... The #5 piston blew the motor. I still have no idea why they wouldn't fix the damn car. Lemon lawed it and shoved it up Dodges ass, then got back my deposit for my hellcat as well, and took my check after paying the lawyer ordered my '17 Camaro ZL1 with every available option and this thing is nuts. Did some bolton upgrades so now its up from 650hp to just a hair under 740. Not one problem here guys, not a one, after the crap Dodge pulled on me the instant it went over 36000 miles i bought an extended warrantee to 60k miles and havent had a problem small or largs and the extra 80+hp this thng still scares me when i hit the floor with the go pedal, low 3's to 60, a hair over 7 to 100 and 17 seconds to 150mph. Theres a racecar wale when the exhaust opens up at 4000rpm till the 6500 redline. It takes hellcats out and the best part of this scenario is the ZL1 works!!

I got mine w 70k miles and is close to 126k now...no isuess at all!!!. Those are the things id look out for. Find a speed bump, and hear any rattles (radio off) if so...you prob need new bushings etc. Keep me posted!! I love love love my srt8. In my humble opinion...very reliable

3rd gen vipers were more powerful in 2003. Not the most powerful American production car in 2006.

[@69thBassSquad]

Maybe the previous owner abused it? Only reoccurring issues I've heard of with SRT8's are suspension-related and some infotainment glitches with the screen motors.

[@erictorrez27]

Thx for the video. Looking into a daily strong 4 door car, that is nice looking and maybe take to track or not afraid to push once in a while. This helps on my search. Thx again

[@RobertSmith-vz9et]

I was a junior in 06 too I loved all the OG srt8 cars I own a 22 scat pack challenger and an 06 srt8 Jeep now I’m lookin to get an 08 srt8 charger that’s why I’m here lol

[@larryg1082]

I Beat my chargers no matter what. But I have a 07 08 years srt 7930 miles rt 96xxx. Never had a problem with my RT other than suspension the front suspension is straight shit. And I had to replace a valve body for my transmission which set me back $1,000 but at 95,000 miles. Beating that thing like a dead horse and being 10 years old in made sense. And I have a 426 SRT. I don't know always changed oil 1000 miles before recommend. Tune ups etc. Nothing yet knock on wood. Could be mileage. Nothing lasts forever and mileage and years have a lot to do with the car especially if it's not maintained properly. I don't know I don't have a high mileage SRT8 so I wouldn't know when it would break. And my whole cars completely finished like everything's rated for 1000 horsepower. But I'll let you know when it does. Going to Pro charge it next year. I'll let you know 10 to 20 years. Best of luck to you but for the money however long you had that SRT8 for $15,000 I'm sure you had the time of your life. It made you make videos. To cherish the memories. Not many cars will leave an impression as a Mopar. I've driven Ford Mustangs Camaros Corvettes. And let me tell you there a little more expensive than a charger or a Challenger for the power. And they're less comfortable unless you're talking about a Corvette now that's fast. But just GM and tears of that era. Are just terrible and the storage spaces our little to none but I suppose you wouldn't do that for a Corvette have it to carry storage

[@o.m.a8135]

Heres a thing I own a 2006 Charger 3.5L V6, yes it will not have the same problems as a V8 of that model year but it is treating me very well it has 400K on it and I am just starting to have miner problems with it. If your wanting to buy one from 2006 - 2010 I recommend getting a V6 because the V8’s are just gone by now, people will beat the crap out of them. But at the end pf the day it is a Dodge and it depends on how you drive it that’s just the reality.

[@jessepriest9532]

A lot of the comments say they have more transmission issues than engine issues, your ultimate fix is to by a manual. Love my challenger srt8

[@ndn9266]

I have an 06 charger. High mileage. Fixed issues some doofus didn't want to and traded it in...runnin fine. Takin care of the engine and everything. Lemme guess, ya did alot of burnouts and hit the gas hard more times than ya should. I haven't even smoke off the tires. I love my car and will continue to upgrade and make it back to brand new. Yes i am an idiot for buying older cars but that's my taste. I put money into em and expect no resale after. Thanks for the heads up on issues tho. Overheating got me too...fixed...shuttin the car off got me too....fixed...just gives me a chance to build it back up better than when they shipped em out. Lol 👍🏽🤘🏽✌🏽

[@illuminatedperspectives2894]

THE SUSPENSION IS REALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WITH THESE CARS. I HAD REBUILD THE FRONT SUSPENSION NEW STRUTS AND STRUT MOUNTS AND NEW SPRINGS WHICH WAS PRETTY EXPENSIVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BUT TODAY IT RIDES LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR

[@dadelives1]

Dude you did a video like this already, You dogged the crap out of your car like seriously you did. Any car you beat on is going to give you issues. No motor is bulletproof from being ragged on.

[@str8profit81]

Looks like some of y’all got some bad ones or previous owners dogged them. I’ve had mine since 2012 second owner and haven’t really had any problems except suspension which goes out pretty quick

[@Blakehenry11]

Never had a SRT Charger but I do have a 2012 Ram with a 5.7 Hemi. Its been to the dealer at least 5 times. 3 times were recall issues the last time the CV boot on the passenger side front tore open and was throwing grease everywhere. Did I mention this truck only has 52K miles. It ain't a charger thing its Dodge/Chrysler thing. I'd love to buy a Hellcat or Demon but hell if the regular naturally aspirated cars have these many problems why spend that kinda coin to get a more expensive lemon.

[@504daniel7]

never had any problems with my demon so far, besides the plastic on the hood its a common problem dodge needs to recall but the heat from the engine is causing demons plastic vent insert to warp slightly and is slightly CHIPPING PAINT around the edges and it looks bad i think its because of how long the plastic insert is, had a hellcat for 2 years before no problem only had a radiator recall

[@ber-js5we]

Guy spends most of his time in car doing God knows how many extended burnouts, hard launches, highway runs, and general hoonery..then car has problems.. I'm shocked 😂 That, folks, is why you never buy a used performance car from a younger person. I'm Not downing young ppl (I was young too) but look at the logic indicative of his age: "if a car has 400 horsepower hemi, it better let me BEAT THE HELL OUT OF IT". Let that sink in. Doing all the scheduled maintenance in the world doesn't matter if you dog the s*** out of your car (performance model or not) NON-STOP. 'nuff said

[@tayquan7947]

Thinking of buying one with 70k miles on it for 10k. I’m really contemplating

[@jag7371]

Before you buy the Subaru Forester (SG, 2003-2008)! Please!!

[@kevincastillo6321]

what ended up being the whistle sound when you accelerated?

[@zombieoverlords7633]

I have the "worst" dodge charger they sell and I treat it well with regular maintenance but sometimes pull a burnout when it's nice and wet out and no problems. Well my wiring harness went out but that was from an unrelated issue. So if you beat the living shit out of it like this guy and expect it to be a reliable car well sorry to say it but you wont get the expected results.

[@Fakemusclecar]

Do the 2012-2014 SRT8 chargers have the same problems

[@12luv365]

You have your nerve! you want to treat a car like SHIT, and then expect it to be reliable. Wake up!

[@ericsotosoto379]

06 R/T, good gas milage, 93,000 miles, no problem, just the heated electric seats went out, thats it!

[@marksteiner7323]

If you knew you had over heating problems, why would you drive it ? Why wouldn't you find the problem first ? Just asking.

[@dimaflorida9889]

...cause I think his plan all along was to cause engine failure on purpose and then claim it's a Dodge Hemi flaw lol. The knucklehead operating it like a mad-man is the flaw.

[@alejandropuentes5727]

Have 06 srt 8 bought 97*** now 113*** no check engine light, no problems what so ever easy to fix never over heats. Still smoke Maseratis, Camaro SS, etc. I beat the shit out of it! looks like who ever sold you the car ripped you off buddy lol come on the car is over 10 years old what do you expect of course there is going to be maintenance needed.

[@mattslattery7706]

Have 07 goin on 8 years. Still running strong with 105k miles. Non of the issues you had. Maybe you just don't know how to keep up or take care of your car. I bet u never changed the coolant or oil when suggested. I'm also in a mopar group where I live and no one else with those issues. But again by the looks of it if you take care of your car like urself ur gunna have a short life. (Over weight & balding)

[@swiggityswooty1055]

Oof

[@lordmegatron8617]

Ouch

[@RK-ci9nn]

Only 105k miles? Man my 2004 Tahoe LT (owned since 05) is at 298k and it runs like new. Sure, it isn't Mopar or a Muscle Car but my point is, even if you play rough with a vehicle (I don't go nuts in a Tahoe cause why would I?) as long as one makes sure they change oil frequently and keep fluids up, brakes and wheels in tip top shape, and make sure you don't purposely kill the engine or transmission any vehicle can last you forever.

[@dc6953]

Damn you took it personal😂😂😂😂, it’s just a car dude, chill out🤣

[@mattslattery7706]

@@dc6953 no, just responding to someone talking outta there ass cuz they don't know how to take care of something.

[@adambirtas3592]

I've owned 3, 300 srt8s. And an 08 charger rt Road and Track. Zero issues all ran very strong

[@imagegotbeats]

My opinion is the more you push your car to its limits by doing burn outs, racing and all that shit it wont last long.

[@G35Tim]

I’m about to buy one. A 2006 srt8 with 120k miles for $10k. Buying tomorrow. Ima do it lol

My friend had a 08 srt8...he ended up selling it for $5k because he was tired of the car shutting down every once in a while

[@albertocolon3457]

I have a 2009 charger and it still runs strong 90k miles on it only .superclean no issue

[@that0871]

I've noticed over heating issues in this model year.... Now I'm sure you bought this vehicle used.. How many miles did this charger have at the time of purchase? How many owners before you? What I learn about used vehicles and take the car your intrested in to a certified dealer have them inspect it before buying that will cause a less of a headache down the road

[@cosmoquinto2765]

My Stang is a fucken lemon too.. all manufacturers have a bad batch or 2. My cars ecu caused malfunction at 32k miles, mirror lights, trunk light and lighter jack stopped working. transmission had a knock at 32k miles (fixed under warranty). Transmission blew at 62k miles and axle bearings at 64k miles.. paid $2400 out of pocket because it was out of warranty.

[@txtrooper]

I owned one of these Charger SRT8s for a short period of time and had constant issues with the throttle response. It would never start and left me stranded multiple times. As cool as I thought the car was after many dealer visits where they would run up the tab and not fix the issues I quickly cut my losses and moved on. I'd also recommend you stay away from this body style.

[@samoanhammerr6766]

I recently bought a 2013 Audi A5. It’s stage 2+ at the moment so it’s way faster than stock, easy 0-60 at around 4.5 seconds. Now I’m thinking that the engine is honestly not strong enough to handle this tune up since it’s just a 4 cylinder. Sooo my question is, should I turn to a pre 2013 Audi S5 or a Dodge Charger or challenger SRT8??? Audi S5 models pre 2013 have 4.2L V8 engines. Really need advice

[@ItsLexrr]

Seeing all these people talk about their V8 Dodge’s, and me here with an 08 3.5L V6 Stock 😔💀

[@Kaska806]

People don’t realize this was a performance engine which requires maintenance higher octane fuel yeah all the pricey stuff in a dodge

I’m with you. Nice car but it’s a dodge. I owned a 78 Cordoba with a 400 bout 35yrs ago. T tops and a factory cb. Wish I still had that Chrysler product though
