what kind of value do you see these trucks holding over the next few years, i lost my ass on my 5.9 and have always done ok with the german cars...do you see the srt brand having a stronger resale value?

Brother, with the options (including rear DVD player) it sound like you have a Dealer Option II (??), if that exists. The 6300 mileage concerns me a bit. Could this be a lease "early return"?? You know that the dealer always wins, especially with a trade-in... Do a CARFAX for the heck of it. For a quick decision, take another $3k off in your favor, just for 2007's gas costs. It is end of year, see if the dealer bites by tomorrow. I bet he does!

srt.8 s will hold their value a little better yes... and honestly if the miles havn't been tampered with that's a good deal. go get it and have fun! =)

Congrats! This might be a little late since you bought but do you know if the original owner used the SRT Track Experience invitation that comes with this vehicle? It's a $500 value that folks purchasing used ones might not be thinking about. If the invite was used, gotta believe it can help you negotiate a lower price. Good luck.

Stock has a nice purr, at open throttle it will turn heads, but I would not call it loud. The prior owner may have installed the aftermarker Mopar/Corsa exhaust on your ride which is significantly louder (and better sounding) than stock.

You are right on the money, mopar/corsa exhaust came with the truck!

Awesome, that's at least a $1,100 value that you probably didn't factor in at time of purchase. Do you know if the SRT Track Experience was used yet for your VIN? If not, that's another $500 value and one of the best times you will have.
