Hey guys, how's it going.........just had a few quick questions!!! I'm looking to possibly be getting into an SRT8 soon. The one i'm currently looking at is a black 07. I know it doesn't have Nav or Rear Dvd. But it does have a sunroof and the foot pedal control. I was just wondering if anyone could fill me in on exactly which packages this vehicle is coming with given those known options. I saw their are options I, II, III?? Just wanted to clarify what exactly came in each of those packages!!! Also, what are prime differences that i would see in an 07 over the 06 that are standard in all of them, any performance gains? I will keep searching on here for the great info, but for now if somebody could enlighten me, that would be awesome!!! Much thanks in advanced!!

Welcome to the board!

I'm too new to these vehicles to know the option group differences yet. But the I'm sure you'll have some reliable answers coming your way shortly. The folks here know these vehicles well. Good luck with the new ride!:cool:

24K on an '07???

I say, unless they are giving it away, stay away from that like the plague. Most guys on here have less mileage on their '06's.

Seeing as how the '07's hit the showrooms last September, 24K in 11 months is a TON of miles...

Buy an '07 from Don at Champion Jeep and put those miles on yourself...

Just my 0.02.
