Current Events > Debating either a Charger or Challenger as my next ride.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Both are the RT models, with the smaller, but usable 5.7 liter Hemi.

The Charger is a 2018 model in white, with 18k miles on it. Being a 4 door it's more practical, but it's not the body style I really like. Dealership is asking 24k, and around here that's the lowest price short of going all the way up to Seattle for Chargers that are only about a grand less, but with more miles. I'm sure I can chip a few hundred or even a grand off the price, but they're already below market average, and the dealership is well aware of this fact.

The Challenger is a 2019 in red, with 15k miles on it. This one is 28k, but has everything I want, and nothing that I don't. Price is a little high, but still within budget should I go for it, but 15k miles in less than a year isn't reassuring. It's a former rental car from Las Vegas, so I'm pretty sure how it got those miles, though everything on it looks pristine, with no abnormal wear on any bushings, joints, or any obvious signs of abuse anywhere.

Crunchy, yet delicious.

I'd go with the Challenger, myself.

Do you envision hauling more than one person around more than once every two weeks?

If yes, Charger
If no, Challenger

My heart wants it. But my logic tells me that a Las Vegas rental car that got more miles put on it in one year than my previous ride got in two, isn't the best route. But it would have essentially full factory warranty, which was confirmed by a tech at my local Dodge dealership since it wasn't a car built for the Canadian market. Which, I had no idea was a thing, even.

Occasionally, like once a month or so.

Go Challenger then

EDIT- I had a 2010 Challenger that was really roomy, but it seems like the '15 and later Challengers are really lacking on interior space compared to before.

I can afford to look at them on the lot. That's about it though.

The 392 is a seriously legit engine if you can swing it

Ah, I wish. Most around here are jacked way up in price though.

Holy shit

Holy shit

Holy poop

I found a 2018 Challenger in the exact color I want an hour from here. The miles are a tad higher than both cars, but this one is the same price as that Charger I mentioned. Actually a bit cheaper, by about a grand.

I don't ask for much, but please, CE: lend me your energy.

Please don't let this car be a turd.

Just let this one thing work out for me.
