Hi team,
I'm hideakimura from Japan and am currently owning '03 VW Golf wagon and '93 GMC Typhoon.
Got 2 kids and Golf and Ty are not big enough, so looking for another car then heard Chrysler Japan start to sell GC SRT8 here in Japan.

I know the price here is overpriced compared in US but someone said because US car in Japan is sold with all options and aslo GC SRT8 in Japan is converted in RHD like Aussie's.

Anyway I'm going to go to the dealer today with digicam and I'll post some pics later.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum
I have my jeep for 3 months and I enjoyed every min of owing it. If you are thinking of getting the jeep, go for it, you will love it.
You have a very nice Typhoon

looking forward to the pics

Here you go...

was told that total 23 GC SRT8s were imported in 2006, colour was only silver and black. Black was only 6.

Alpine's HDD navi, sunroof, brambo's... however hood opener was still in left hand side and no HIDs...

the price was 7,600,000Yen (= $68,000:eek:)

thanks guys for your welcome, I'm from Tokyo area and my Ty is now removed licence plate and stored in my garage and collecting dusts...

OK, how much the price in US if you choose these options? (Navi, Sunroof and Brembo's etc...)

The pirce for my 2006 with all of those options was somewhere around $45,000 U.S. M.S.R.P. But I actually paid $37,000 because the dealer really wanted to sell it.

Hi and welcome to the forums!! I just had some sushi today too, and it was really yummy lol! Anyway, I paid just over $41,000 for my 07 loaded, sticker was $47, 860 but I got massive discounts. WOO!

Unless you drive up in an expensive car, or pass a credit check -- they will not let you drive it.

No one here in Houston will let you drive a new GC ... atleast not unless you have one of the above of course.
No one wants to buy a new car that someone else has ragged on before, or that has miles on it, atleast not the people buying this type of car.

SPRING Dodge still has a red 2006 with 11,000 miles on it ... they MIGHT let you test drive it ... i had no problem, but I pulled up in my SL55 one night at a whim.

I would NOT go for that red one though unless they drop the price down to $34-$35k ...

I got my new 2007 with 9 miles for $42k, they are trying to sell their used one for $42.9k


I got mine from River Oaks Chrysler/Jeep off I-59 ... I would NOT recommend that dealership though ... bunch of money hungry, penny pinching jews. (actual jews).
As an example: THEY ONLY FILL THE GAS TANK HALF WAY ON A NEW CAR PURCHASE ... no, not a mistake - was told this is NORMAL. The owner does not allow them to fill gas tanks up, only half way.
PLUS, mine was filled with regular unleaded not even premium.


Try and deal with Mac Haik ... they might have one, or can find one, or can order one from factory.


SPRING Dodge and River Oaks = do not deal with except for maybe a test drive. Will save you some frustration

I drove up in a Jeep Liberty, at a Jeep dealership that had an SRT 8 sitting for sale. I was driving it 10 minutes later WITHOUT a salesman in the car. I handed them my drivers license, and took it out for about 15 minutes.

This was at a dealership in south jersey.

Another SYTY guy... Welcome.

I'm not comfortable reading racial remarks. This is very concerning. Your education level is now clear to us. Thanks.

YIKES....I am a conservative Irish Catholic and I must agree with HEMINGWAY on this type of rhetoric! And please spare me any additional comments.....:mad:

lol, do you realize that you're driving a jeep...albeit a fast one? don't get me wrong, it's a nice jeep. and at $45,000 (avg.) it's on the higher end of the price range for jeeps. but it's not like you're trying to test drive a ferrari or lamborghini.

i can see their reasoning as to not letting every tom, ****, or harry drive it and thrash it. but again, it's a jeep...not a rolls royce

Anyone know why that navi is in there..????

many cars sold in the Japanese market use "aftermarket" stereos, straight from the dealership. i.e. you can walk into a dealership and buy a brand new Jeep with an Alpine navigation system (b/c the US navi products don't work there i think)

the Skyline 350GT (which is the Japanese market version of my Infiniti G35) comes with a double-din sized opening in the dash standard instead of the integrated Bose/climate unit that the US cars get

as for the trim panel in the pic you posted... any competent car stereo shop could probably make you a custom trim for a double-din sized aftermarket navigation unit (Alpine, Pioneer, etc etc)
