Car enthusiasts love a hot-rod wagon, and this 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8, available for $27,000, might just fit the bill for you.


Yes, of course, it has the Hemi -- why wouldn't it? It also has other SRT8 goodies like 20-inch wheels and Brembo brakes.

There's a long list of mods, both factory and not (the car has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which didn't exist in 2006). The seller claims the airbag recall has been addressed and the car has LED head- and fog lamps, tinted front windows, and a backup camera. There's also a "tub" of original parts available.

There are about 20,100 miles on this Oregon-based car. Give it a look here.

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.

    Cool cars that drover pretty well, thank to the Benz bits underneath. But that interior.... Chrysler must have sourced interior materials to Lego or Mattel. I spent a week in a rented 300 Touring of this vintage, very enjoyable car to drive but the interior would have made an old Isuzu i-Mark blush. No sale at any price.

    What kind of a world do we have when a 17 year old Dodge machine can bring this kind of money? My sister has had one for over ten years and it has been good to her, although it gets by with a six cylinder engine. My impression was the interior wasn't so spartan that I noticed and I did ride in the back seat and don't recall it that tight even if it was only to the grocery store. My nieces and nephews have spilled the usual milkshakes, et al, and it has gone on without smell with easily cleaned fabrics. I cannot get past that price even if it does check most of my personal boxes.

      "What kind of a world do we have when a 17 year old Dodge machine can bring this kind of money?" A world in which the money is worth "almost" nothing. Not nothing, but pretty damn close to nothing when you look back. Sad world indeed.
