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.

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:
- insurance would be Sky High
- great candidate to disappear in a down town parking garage
- has it been stolen and now returned to owner after one hell of a joy ride
- unknown on how modifications done (shade tree or pro)
- any prior accidents
- why does the owner want to get rid of it (impending explosion of transmission?)
- don't like the idea its been slammed (British vernacular for lowered)
- does the A/C really work??
The list goes on and on...

ToolGuy "We're marking the anniversary of the time Robert Farago started the GM death watch and called for the company to die."• No, we aren't. Robert Farago wrote that in April 2005. It was reposted in 2009 on the eve of the actual bankruptcy filing.The byline dates are sometimes strange/off with the site revisions (and the 'this is a repost' note got lost), but the date string in the link is correct (...2005/04...). Posting about GM bankruptcy in 2005 was a slightly more difficult call than doing it in 2009.-- The Truth About Calendars
Kat Laneaux Agree with Michael500, we wasted all that money just to bail out GM and they are developing these cars in China and other countries. What the heck. I understand the cheap labor but that is just another foothold the government has on their citizens and they already treat them like crap. That is pretty disgusting to go forward to put other peoples health and mental stability on a crazy crazed, control freak, leader, who is in bed with Russia. Thought about getting a buick but that just shot that one out of the park. All of this for the greed. They get what they lay in bed with. Disgusting.
Michael500 Good thing Obama used $50 billion of taxpayer money to bail them out and give unions a big stake. GM is headed to BK again with their Hail Mary hope of EVs. Hopefully a Republican in office will let them go BK the next time, and it's coming. The US economy is not related/dependent on GM and their Chinese made Buicks.
MaintenanceCosts "Rural areas hardly noticed COVID at all."I very much doubt that is true in places like the Navajo Nation or the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, some of which lost 2% or more of their population to COVID.No city had a death rate in the same order of magnitude.Low-density living is a very modern invention. Before cars, people, even in agricultural areas, needed to live densely to survive.
Wjtinfwb Always liked these MN12 cars and the subsequent Lincoln variant. But Ford, apparently strapped for resources or cash, introduced these half-baked. Very sophisticated chassis and styling, let down but antiquated old pushrod engines and cheap interiors. The 4.6L Modular V8 helped a bit, no faster than the 5.0 but extremely smooth and quiet. The interior came next, nicer wrap-around dash, airbags instead of the mouse belts and refined exterior styling. The Supercharged 3.8L V6 was potent, but kind of crude and had an appetite for head gaskets early on. Most were bolted to the AOD automatic, a sturdy but slow shifting gearbox made much better with electronic controls in the later days. Nice cars that in the right color, evoked the 6 series BMW, at least the Thunderbird did. Could have been great cars and maybe should have been a swoopy CLS style sedan. Pretty hard to find a decent one these days.
