Damn, alright, if I can get my girlfriend onboard with this, I'll be set... Wbornio, LMFAO, never! I would love to grab this SRT, not to say that I don't really like my RT, its a great car, but the brakes and suspension, yeah, thats a good reason for an upgrade.

Well... you evil buggers 
I went and took a spin in the Magnum... Big mistake... now I'm waiting to here back if the deal is a go. Yup.. I may soon be an SRTer. Damn.. What have you folks done to me?
I just hope it works out... Its red with Group I and II, with sunroof.. nice lil ride.
I will miss my Charger though I think, It just looks so much nastier then the Mag...

Well, I added it up...
I scored my RT with the R&T package for $39,000
The intake and TB spacer were $550. (And they are going on the SRT if I get it)
The Headers are $600
The high flow cats, $600
The catback system, $450 (got a buddy on the inside for these 3)
The suspension upgrade, $1500
The big brake kit, $2600
Engine rebuild to get anywhere near SRT performance $3000.
Decent 20" rims and tires, $4000
$52'ish total...
The final price on the SRT... around $41'ish, haha, the dealer was very generous... So the SRT is actually kind of a steal. But winter is an issue, and gas is an issue, and the girlfriend.. oh boy, what an issue.. hahaha. I'll fill you in on the final price if I get it.

Well at this point the deal is off. My bank didn't like the dealerships way of "running the numbers" and refused to allow me to get a new loan. Another major bank refused, and Chrysler Financial stated that if I agreed to a 5 year with a balloon payment at the end (which also included a $200 monthly payment increase) that they would allow my sales rep and loan officer to put the deal through. Basically this is how it would have gone...
1)My Charger, paid $39,000 new, is bought by the dealership for $32,000.
2) The Magnum has been on the lot since March, so it gets discounted for time on the lot... Then I get the "actual" employee discount, plus I get the police discount since we bought all of our Chargers through them.
3) My salesman Takes a huge cut in commission.
4) The Magnum, with a few scratches gets further discounted, but get fixed by the dealership under warranty.
5) There is still $7000.00 outstanding on the Charger loan and the dealership simply moves it over to the new loan, stating that I am actually buying a $45,000 car, which is correct had there been no messing with the numbers originally.
6) I add a year to my financing, making a 5 year into a six year, and voila, the payments stay the exact same.
But alas, it looks like that ain't gonna happen. It's cool, I won't be joining you guys yet.. But soon.. and I know I will never go back. For now ol' RT will be keeping me company.. I like my car, I think I'll manage.
(There is one option left.. a four year lease.. and then the low payments still can apply... My boys are trying real hard for me, they want me in this car, but I'm not sure I want to lease.)
