Hey Guys,

I am from Alberta, Canada and looking at a used 06 or 07 GC SRT8 in the USA. I was wondering if there are any good websites for used cars in the NW area or upper central area of the USA (I plan to fly down and drive back to Alberta with it) that I can check out. I will also look at dealerships if you can recommend a couple.

What is a good price for an 06 with avg miles fully loaded?
What is a good price for a used 07 with avg miles fully loaded?

The reason for buying in the states is I can save huge $ on the buy price. For instance it is $63,000 CDN to buy a fully loaded new 07 at dealers here.. nobody has adjusted for the new xchange rate, so we get hosed. We also just got slapped with a 4000 gas guzzler tax here for SRT's and any other vehicles the govt seem to think are bad for the air.

Cheers,

K

I imported a Ram Viper 1.5 yrs. You must first check on the www.RIV.com and make sure it is eligible, every car/truck is differant. You will have to buy used and the gas tax may still apply upon import, new or used warranty is void upon import.

I just bought a 07 with 10KM loaded for 47CDN.

Brand new at the dealer in TO asking 55CDN. I assume 4k is extra.

Because you are all rich in Alberta, you seem to pay more for most things. I would just buy one in Ontario and have it shipped.

That is reasonably solid advise because $63,000 Cdn for a new '07 is crazy. The gas guzzler tax applies to vehicles with manufacture dates after the date of the last approved budget. Anything before that should be exempt.

What dealer did you buy your SRT8 Jeep at for 47,000 CDN? Any contacts would be appreciated.
