Used Car of the Day: 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T
We haven't featured too many Dodge Challengers -- if we've featured any at all -- in this slot. So, today, we've got a nice 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T for you.
It has 151,000 miles and an automatic transmission, so I can already hear you "save the manuals" types getting annoyed. But if you can live with just two pedals, you'll get a car that still has a 5.7-liter V8.
There are flaws such as fading paint and an inoperative radio screen. The car does have new cams and lifters and is lowered.
Give it a look here -- the seller is in Arizona and asking $12,500.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Tassos I never used winter tires, and the last two decades I am driving almost only rear wheel drive cars, half of them in MI. I always bought all season tires for them, but the diff between touring and non touring flavors never came up. Does it make even the smallest bit of difference? (I will not read the lengthy article because I believe it does not).

- Ede65792611 Got one. It was my Dad's and now has 132K on it. I pay my Mercedes guy zillions of dollars to keep it going. But, I do, and he does and it's an excellent vehicle. I've put in the full Android panel for BT handsfree and streaming with a backup cam.
- Lou_BC Wow. People say they want sedans and there should be more of them. Goes to show that internet warriors do not accurately represent the desires of the general population. What do people buy? Pickups and CUV'S. Top 10:1. F Series2. Silverado3. Ram4. Toyota Rav45. Model Y Tesla6. Honda CRV7. Sierra8. Toyota Camry9. Nissan Rogue10. Jeep Grand Cherokee Only 2 sedans.#5 Is a sedan and an EV#8 The ubiquitous Camry The only way to resurrect the sedan is by banning crewcab pickups.

Nah. These are popular enough that unless you want a project or a quasi-rat rod daily, plenty of less worn examples are out there. You'll likely pay more, but paint (continuous exposure to southwestern sun will kill paint beyond a detailer's ability to save) and electronics aren't cheap if you can't do them yourself or have a reputable hookup. And as others have pointed out, the refresh cars really hone the formula with their interior and mechanical improvements.
Way too many variables:
The list goes on and on...
