I wonder what his review would be like if the car wasn't full of trash and taken care of. Mine is a year older and my lug nuts aren't rusty nor is my leather cracked.
I mean Chrysler Is shitty. We had a 1995 Dodge Intrepid in 1996 transmission went out, then my mum got a 1996 Chrysler Town & Country in 1997 transmission also went out. My friends uncle got a 2003 Dodge Ram in 2004 and same, Transmission went out as well.

Considering how bad this customer treats his Charger, I'm quite surprised that it's still in such good shape mechanically. Proves that it can be a decently reliable car. I've seen used chargers in much better shape esthetically than this, just need to take care of them.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?

I rented a 2020 Charger and I have to say I was impressed with this large, comfortable car. The one I had was equipped with the V6. It had plenty of power.
I rented one too, I liked the acceleration power, but a turn off is the feeling of a heavy car and top speed on highway wasn't impressive. Still liked it tho.
I wouldn't say they don't care for it, its just a car to whoever owns it and they use it as such. THATS the type of one you want to avoid, not some cherry cream puff V8 that's spent its life in a garage getting waxed by its owner.
I own a 12 Charger v6 had 22k on it when I bought it haven’t had any issues with it other than normal wear and tear but it’s still going strong at 118k

I had a 2014 charger SXT V6 rear wheel drive from 20k to 100k miles. It ran like a champ and no issues at all outside the factory warranty. The V6 Pentastar engine is extremely reliable as long as the oil is changed!
This car has clearly been abused. Also pretty sure the exhaust tip didn't fall off, but was broken off when the driver backed into a sidewalk or something... The charger and the 300 are very nice cars. Fun video as usual Scotty.
Vladx35 right! I have a 2009 Chrysler 300 with 186k and my exterior is in way better shape than this and my inside is not junky like this. They are abusing this car bad
LX platform cars are fantastic. We have a challenger and a magnum. One with the 3.5 HO V6 and the other with the 5.7 Hemi. Both great cars. A close friend has the 6.4 Hemi Challenger, which goes like hell. Two other acquaintances each have 6.1 Hemi 300C's, both with over 300,000 kms on them. These vehicles go a long time, granted they aren't ratbagged and abused like the car in the video. The only engine I wouldnt buy is the 3.6 direct injection V6
@Simon Chuo I don't understand people who don't clean their car - like asking 'why clean the house, what's the point'. I do sometimes wonder if the people who own the car later also watch the video and then cringe when they see the filth on a video. I do hope they 'cringe'.
I have a 06 r/t with 240,000 miles . Runs amazing and is very solid. Yes I have had to work in it just the same as the men did before me with the chargers in the 60's and 70's with v8's over 300 horsepower. I don't mind it because its extremely simple to tune and wrench on. It rides amazing an easy to get the kids in and out of. Had it for over a year and enjoy it alot.

Since everyone is talking mileage, I have a 13 v6 with 160k miles on it. Runs like a dream still and being 6'4", this car is great for bigger guys. Other than maintenance I had to change the fuel pump at 140k miles (it's under the back seat and took 15 minutes). P.S. That is a lot of city miles because I am a rideshare driver with 1,500+ trips all in this car.

I got a 16 RT no issues just maintenance tires I haven't even changed my brakes yet but I also dont beat the hell out of it I do some pulls here and there but that's it
I have 2012 Charger V6 and it’s the best car I’ve owned. Sporty enough to be fun to drive but practical enough to be a daily driver. Solid engine and smooth 8 speed transmission. I don’t know why Scotty hates on Chrysler so much when I think they nailed it with the Charger.
I wouldn’t recommend the newer version.. they have more technology in them... which is more difficult to fix.. in my opinion...all that touch screen and stuff comes with a price
Everytime I want to buy a new car I watch this guy’s video of the car I want and I no longer want it. I’ve saved so much money by this dude shitting on everything lol
Bo and Luke always seemed to handle their 1969 Dodge Charger R/T the General Lee quite well. The Duke Boys had Cooter Davenport, we have Scotty Kilmer.
Even the v6s are revved too high Scotty you havnt seen when a teenager gets a hold of one whether it’s theirs or their moms .. here in Phoenix they think it’s fast and the furious “taco edition”
I’ve rented 2 of these Chargers within the past 2 years both the 3.6 and the 5.7 Hemi. I enjoyed both of them. The interior is comfortable and the layout works for me. Sure the 5.7 is faster and sounds better, but the 3.6 runs well.
frank sinatra I rented from Budget or Avis. I told them I wanted a full size car, and I got to choose from a row of cars since the keys are inside, so I chose the Charger.
@@KirilPetrov65 wtf you talm bout. I asked C P how the hell he get a v6 version of the charger because i can never get it. They always give me the hemi instead. You reaching bruh.
Rented the R/T version for two months this year and was surprised at how nice the car was as a DD. Comfortable interior, great touch screen set up and always felt planted even with your foot down.
I had the Pentastar V6 in a 2014 Grand Cherokee and I was impressed with the power, especially with a heavy SUV like the GC. Engine was very smooth and respectably powerful.
I had a charger for 2 years a 2016 bought it with 38k miles on it with a v6 and drove Uber and Lyft with it for the full 2 years and got rear ended and render totaled by insurance with 170k miles on it and never NEVER had a problem with it except regular maintenance and a fuel pump failed once when the car reached 90k miles other than great fun car would buy another any time
My 06 charger has 264k miles. Still runs good. Only major issue were the attachments that hold the timing chain broke because they were made of plastic.. changed them to metal. Runs fine now
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
@@umerthemagnificent8672 No I’m not the first owner, my aunt used the car before me as a commuter back then. For one don’t race it like it’s a sport car, and just make sure to change the fluids ie engine/transmission. How many miles is yours? As far as the engine goes, it’s pretty solid. Dodge cars have a problem with the shifter, there’s a plastic piece that will break overtime which allows you to take your car from park into gear. You can replace the plastic assembly piece with a metal one or get a new shifter module. I just opened the assembly and manually pressed the safety button to take it out of park, that works too. And for the chain assembly I guess it depends on how many miles you got in order for it to wear down. You can replace that with the metal one.
You should have seen my 08 Daytona Charger. 149,000 miles when I got rid of it and it was in way better condition than that one. Now I have a 17 Scat Pack no issues what so ever.
As far as quality goes for that car you can easily see it was neglected all its life. Get the same year charger that's been taken care of and then do your review. I promise you'll see a huge difference.
BEFORE you replace a hub assembly that has thrown a code but not making a noise....change the cable that plugs into the hub first. Its cheap and more than once when my hand held computer isolated which wheel was throwing an ABS code (also Service 4x4, Service traction lights on 4x4). You might be surprised that a 15 dollar cable is your problem...and still would be if you change the hub and NOT the cable.
pretty sad to see a car so mistreated. but very nice to see it lasting the way it did under such conditions. makes me less worried about my chargers longevity. thx for the vid scotty :)
Thanks for doing a video on the charger I've owned a 2014 se v6 exactly like the one in your video. Only difference is mine is black on black. The only thing I've had to do, other than oil changes is the front ball joints and the oil filter assembly leaking; which seemed to be a problem this model has. Nothing major thank God, only had 63,000 when I purchased it and I've put about 30,000 in 3 1/2 years still going strong think I got blessed with this vehicle seeking as it will probably be the last one I own. Thanks again love your videos
Scotty finally makes the video I have been waiting for ...and doesnt talk about anything except the damage. Can you please do a video on the engine/trans etc.
I’ve had my ‘12 Durango Pentastar V6 since April 2012 and I’m still on my original headlights, directionals, taillights and break lights. The only thing I’ve needed was a new cabin filter when I thought that my ac blower was making noise. The V6 is fuel flexible and in that I live in Florida I’ve used e85 a few times when hurricanes made gasoline availability scarce and my Durango became a vegetarian. I drive it like an old fart and I haven’t had any problems.
I'm glad they sorted things out with the newer 3.6 V6 over the older 2.6 V6. I've always love crown vicrorias and when the police switched over to the charger I thought they looked so cool but I was really disappointed when I heard they had quality and reliable issues because that's a huge part of what makes the crown vics so great
I have a 2008 Dodge Charger 3.5L V6, and I love her! Bought it with 156K miles, for $4000. 4 years and 20K miles later, I haven't had really needed many repairs. The Fuel Injectors began failing so I replaced them all. I change oil and gaskets religiously. My favorite aspects are that it has sufficient power (just enough to keep me from getting in trouble). Also I love that the that the weight balance is dang close to 50/50, which makes it extremely stable at high speeds. Great car!
Great review Scotty. I own a 2019 Charger RT Plus. I bought the Charger because I purchased a 16 Caravan for work and now with 105k, it has had the least problems of any vehicle I've owned. If you treat them right, they treat you right. You drive them into the ground, you have issues. I don't expect to put endless miles on a car and not having to service it. I also realize that you need to do more than oil changes. I address issues early. Previously I was a Volvo, VW and Ford driver. I was always at the dealer with one failure after another. I have 3k on the Charger and I must admit, I love the thing. The sound and feel when driving are awesome. It looks great, and I can fit three golf bags in the trunk without putting the seats down in the back! Can't do that in a Mustang.
My grandmother's 2018 Chrysler Pacifica won against a Dodge Challenger with the V6 and the new Ram 1500 EcoDiesel on the highway I personally love FCA's V6's
Jedno Florestal I help escort oversize loads like mobile homes wind turbine blades or heavy construction vehicles or equipment so I travel all around the US
@@Destinationreached Oh ok. So mostly highway mileage. I always thought heavy haulers paid for the escort vehicles. I would never agree to use my own. That mileage is nothing for a tractor but on a car that's ridiculous.
Those are aftermarket diys black wheels, and the missing exhaust tip most likely was the result of driver error backing into something. But glad you are starting to come around a little-lol. Stay well!
The v8 hemis are good cars. Bought a 44,000mile 2016 5.7pursuit awd in 2019. Currently 95,000 miles. Tires Brakes rotors, new water pump @90,000 miles. Some hemis burn oil, get top end issues others last beyond 200k. The pursuit charger has a lot of performance for the value on the used market. Stock v8 Awd 390tq swapped a hellcat hood & bumpers painted b5 blue
Could throw in my 2007 SRT8 for an 'Old vs New' type of video lol. My car is in damn near perfect condition with 107k miles so if Scotty thought this crappy white Charger was well kept, he'd love ours.
@@KirilPetrov65 for a 2007, the mileage is actually pretty good. It should have around 135k miles by now. 107k isnt high miles. My car is in excellent condition and has proper maintenence records dating back to the first owner.
Bought a 2014 Pursuit Package V8 from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, shes got 148k miles but runs like a dream and really well kept. Only paid about 9k for it, shes my baby :)
@babyj5617 Still my daily driver. Got about 200k miles on it now. I've had to replace the thermostat twice, and ive had the front suspension replaced. Other than that, no major issues and no "hemi tick" yet.
It's because Chargers and Challengers are actually pretty good cars considering. Chrysler puts all their money into them since they are pretty much their flagship vehicles.
Drove a nice red Dodge Charger rental in 1970 NYC to Illinois, nice car - real eye catcher -- , but was summer and no AC! Still remember my left arm sticking out the window getting sunburned
I rented an SXT (3.6) awhile back, and loved the car! Accelerated good, cornered good, and was even good on bumpy roads, and railroad tracks. The only thing that sucked was the programming of the radio, and climate control.
Jeez get that thing from a junkyard someone needs too learn how to take care of their car 😂 also take off that Plasti-dip on the wheels and grille, it just looks like hell😂
I had a 2015 with the V6. I loved that thing. Never had a problem. That said I got rid of it at 20k miles because one year in the winter with that thing.... I touch the pedal and i was going 180 degrees in a second. Horrible car in the northern climates in the winter. I had a 93 Chrysler Concorde. Got rid of it with 309k miles (original engine and transmission). Drove it in the UP of Michigan during my college years with no problem. THAT was a hell of a car. 3.3L Mitsubishi V6 that was bullet proof.

Breaks my heart to see Mopar treated this way. I own a 2017 scat and she’s at about 65k now and she’s never had a single problem. Of course I am sure to maintain the car in every possible way, never leaving a spec of dust on the interior and never allowing anything internally speaking to get behind on services. Chrysler products are temperamental, but if you treat them right, they can ran for a very long time
I bought a red 2014 charger rt awd just last year with 110k miles for $14.5k. The car was maintained with oil changes every couple thousand miles and ran perfectly. I live in MN where we have a lot of snow in the winter, so I bought bridgestone blizzak tires and went through 8 inches of snow no problem. I tried to get it stuck and it wouldn't. It is an absolute beast. Unfortunately on Feb 13th I got rear ended very badly and ruined the rear and the exhaust. It took a month to fix and was almost totalled. But in the end it came out better than before. We got oem parts for it and the repair guy was able to put a Pypes Violator cat back exhaust on it. To this day I cant get over how well this v8 runs and sounds. Btw, I bought it myself at 17 years old. Nobody believed I could do it 😂. So I worked hard to prove them wrong and I don't regret it.
138,000 abused miles with no maintenance. Maybe this might have been a rental at one time. Dodge don't have Toyota reliability but this car could go 200,000 miles if it was taken better care off. Good American muscle in my opinion and at least Dodge still making masculine vehicles thank you for that Dodge.

I have a 06 r/t with 240,000 miles . Runs amazing and is very solid. Yes I have had to work in it just the same as the men did before me with the chargers in the 60's and 70's with v8's over 300 horsepower. I don't mind it because its extremely simple to tune and wrench on. It rides amazing an easy to get the kids in and out of. Had it for over a year and enjoy it alot.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
Is it tick rocking yet
"Bottom of the line." Scotty said it all in that one line.
Or as I like to call it...."Chrysler"
@@CrazyCrethon Ever drive a Ford Fiesta? Chrysler is like the best car made compared to that POS.
Since everyone is talking mileage, I have a 13 v6 with 160k miles on it. Runs like a dream still and being 6'4", this car is great for bigger guys. Other than maintenance I had to change the fuel pump at 140k miles (it's under the back seat and took 15 minutes). P.S. That is a lot of city miles because I am a rideshare driver with 1,500+ trips all in this car.

I got a 16 RT no issues just maintenance tires I haven't even changed my brakes yet but I also dont beat the hell out of it I do some pulls here and there but that's it
I have 2012 Charger V6 and it’s the best car I’ve owned. Sporty enough to be fun to drive but practical enough to be a daily driver. Solid engine and smooth 8 speed transmission. I don’t know why Scotty hates on Chrysler so much when I think they nailed it with the Charger.
Best bang for the buck

I could not agree more with you. My next car will be a Chrysler....
MARTIN SAMUEL eh I still have a 2000 Lexus ES300. 300,202 miles, still runs amazingly
I have the 2009 charger (police package) best car I ever owned
The new ones are fantastic. Best car for the money in my book.
@@jizzyjake6783 For now. Like scotty said, reliability is questionable
I wouldn’t recommend the newer version.. they have more technology in them... which is more difficult to fix.. in my opinion...all that touch screen and stuff comes with a price
JizzyJake i agree
I purchased a 2013 pursuit with 180k miles from Texas facilities. Handles and drives like a new one. Love the car. Scotty should review one.
Everytime I want to buy a new car I watch this guy’s video of the car I want and I no longer want it. I’ve saved so much money by this dude shitting on everything lol
No joke. Spent the better of 9 months trying to find a car but then theres scotty.
Thank you Scotty for keeping me entertained and learning during this pandemic. Much love from your fellow houstoner
Bo and Luke always seemed to handle their 1969 Dodge Charger R/T the General Lee quite well. The Duke Boys had Cooter Davenport, we have Scotty Kilmer.
That interior made it look like he was in a haunted house.

I’ve rented 2 of these Chargers within the past 2 years both the 3.6 and the 5.7 Hemi. I enjoyed both of them. The interior is comfortable and the layout works for me. Sure the 5.7 is faster and sounds better, but the 3.6 runs well.
I can never get the v6 version. How the hell u get a v6 charger? They dont like to give em out up here north
frank sinatra
I rented from Budget or Avis. I told them I wanted a full size car, and I got to choose from a row of cars since the keys are inside, so I chose the Charger.
@@BlackSinatra339 because not everyone wants a V8 why don't you get a v12 car
@@KirilPetrov65 wtf you talm bout. I asked C P how the hell he get a v6 version of the charger because i can never get it. They always give me the hemi instead. You reaching bruh.
Honestly those pentastars are a great deal they run for a good while!
The engine might, but the rest of the car won't.
@@dave_riots yeah it's still a Chrysler but those pentastars sure have proven to be reliable
Got one in my truck; love it. I had a 3.6 V6 in my old Caravan; engine was still going strong when the bottom rusted out!
My mom had one in her Dodge Journey, left me stranded once but other than that it was good
The newer ones are great engines.
Who ever owns that white Charger is a dirty as person

@@mustaphagai5031 lol
Just make sure you stretch your legs before and after or else you will become an endless money pit.
Rented the R/T version for two months this year and was surprised at how nice the car was as a DD. Comfortable interior, great touch screen set up and always felt planted even with your foot down.
I have a '16 R/T. Love it.
Agreed I’m renting it now and the MPG really isn’t half bad either. Very fun car to drive
the price on these things just hit the roof

I still wouldn't buy a FCA car no matter how good I think it looks.
@@djpmaddog90 This isn't a FCA car, FCA merger happened in 2014. This car obviously wasn't built after then.
Theres one is red for $5k
I had the Pentastar V6 in a 2014 Grand Cherokee and I was impressed with the power, especially with a heavy SUV like the GC. Engine was very smooth and respectably powerful.
I have a 2007 Dodge Charger RT that I bought new. Now it has about 160K miles on it and its been flooded twice. Still runs good.
I had a charger for 2 years a 2016 bought it with 38k miles on it with a v6 and drove Uber and Lyft with it for the full 2 years and got rear ended and render totaled by insurance with 170k miles on it and never NEVER had a problem with it except regular maintenance and a fuel pump failed once when the car reached 90k miles other than great fun car would buy another any time
The real question is can you jump in and out of the window?
My 06 charger has 264k miles. Still runs good. Only major issue were the attachments that hold the timing chain broke because they were made of plastic.. changed them to metal. Runs fine now
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
@@umerthemagnificent8672 No I’m not the first owner, my aunt used the car before me as a commuter back then. For one don’t race it like it’s a sport car, and just make sure to change the fluids ie engine/transmission. How many miles is yours? As far as the engine goes, it’s pretty solid. Dodge cars have a problem with the shifter, there’s a plastic piece that will break overtime which allows you to take your car from park into gear. You can replace the plastic assembly piece with a metal one or get a new shifter module. I just opened the assembly and manually pressed the safety button to take it out of park, that works too. And for the chain assembly I guess it depends on how many miles you got in order for it to wear down. You can replace that with the metal one.
Bought a used 07 Chrysler 300C with the 5.7 Hemi, 340 Hp 390 Torque great option to the charger.
You should have seen my 08 Daytona Charger. 149,000 miles when I got rid of it and it was in way better condition than that one. Now I have a 17 Scat Pack no issues what so ever.

@@garybeltrand5802 not really
As far as quality goes for that car you can easily see it was neglected all its life. Get the same year charger that's been taken care of and then do your review. I promise you'll see a huge difference.
My 2012 SRT Charger still drives like new. Very smooth ride with a lot of power.
Id love to buy one but theyre still like $40000 CAD lol
Chargers are actually pretty good cars. Some people just don't take good care of their vehicles.
I love when you do these reviews of older model cars!
BEFORE you replace a hub assembly that has thrown a code but not making a noise....change the cable that plugs into the hub first. Its cheap and more than once when my hand held computer isolated which wheel was throwing an ABS code (also Service 4x4, Service traction lights on 4x4). You might be surprised that a 15 dollar cable is your problem...and still would be if you change the hub and NOT the cable.
The rims look rattle canned 😂
Half the car is rattle canned, look at the grille too lmao
They were dodge doesnt make those particular black rims OEM unless it's a interceptor and I didnt see a column shifter
These rims are a bad plasti dip job.
pretty sad to see a car so mistreated. but very nice to see it lasting the way it did under such conditions. makes me less worried about my chargers longevity. thx for the vid scotty :)
Thanks for doing a video on the charger I've owned a 2014 se v6 exactly like the one in your video. Only difference is mine is black on black. The only thing I've had to do, other than oil changes is the front ball joints and the oil filter assembly leaking; which seemed to be a problem this model has. Nothing major thank God, only had 63,000 when I purchased it and I've put about 30,000 in 3 1/2 years still going strong think I got blessed with this vehicle seeking as it will probably be the last one I own. Thanks again love your videos
Thanks for a fair and honest review about a Chrysler product. I'm glad to see that you're changing your ways.
Scotty finally makes the video I have been waiting for ...and doesnt talk about anything except the damage. Can you please do a video on the engine/trans etc.
Local cop: Whoa! What's that?!?
Partner: Oh, that's just Scotty test driving a Charger again...
I’ve had my ‘12 Durango Pentastar V6 since April 2012 and I’m still on my original headlights, directionals, taillights and break lights. The only thing I’ve needed was a new cabin filter when I thought that my ac blower was making noise. The V6 is fuel flexible and in that I live in Florida I’ve used e85 a few times when hurricanes made gasoline availability scarce and my Durango became a vegetarian. I drive it like an old fart and I haven’t had any problems.
I'm glad they sorted things out with the newer 3.6 V6 over the older 2.6 V6. I've always love crown vicrorias and when the police switched over to the charger I thought they looked so cool but I was really disappointed when I heard they had quality and reliable issues because that's a huge part of what makes the crown vics so great
I have a 2008 Dodge Charger 3.5L V6, and I love her! Bought it with 156K miles, for $4000. 4 years and 20K miles later, I haven't had really needed many repairs. The Fuel Injectors began failing so I replaced them all. I change oil and gaskets religiously. My favorite aspects are that it has sufficient power (just enough to keep me from getting in trouble). Also I love that the that the weight balance is dang close to 50/50, which makes it extremely stable at high speeds. Great car!
“It’s a Chrysler product there’s no arguing that “ LMAO 😂
Great review Scotty. I own a 2019 Charger RT Plus. I bought the Charger because I purchased a 16 Caravan for work and now with 105k, it has had the least problems of any vehicle I've owned. If you treat them right, they treat you right. You drive them into the ground, you have issues. I don't expect to put endless miles on a car and not having to service it. I also realize that you need to do more than oil changes. I address issues early. Previously I was a Volvo, VW and Ford driver. I was always at the dealer with one failure after another. I have 3k on the Charger and I must admit, I love the thing. The sound and feel when driving are awesome. It looks great, and I can fit three golf bags in the trunk without putting the seats down in the back! Can't do that in a Mustang.
My grandmother's 2018 Chrysler Pacifica won against a Dodge Challenger with the V6 and the new Ram 1500 EcoDiesel on the highway I personally love FCA's V6's
In 2015 I bought a 2009 Challenger SE. It has a 3.5 V6. So far it has been good for me. Had 56,000 on it , now it has over 100,000 on it.
I own a 15 charger with 170k on it and she hasn't let me down
What the hell do you do to put so such mileage on it in a short amount of time?
Or did you mean you have a 2005 Charger?
My 2011 has 161k. Still riding strong and looks like new! Getting that hemi one day though.
Jedno Florestal I help escort oversize loads like mobile homes wind turbine blades or heavy construction vehicles or equipment so I travel all around the US
sheenamariebee same here just patience is key
@@Destinationreached Oh ok. So mostly highway mileage.
I always thought heavy haulers paid for the escort vehicles. I would never agree to use my own. That mileage is nothing for a tractor but on a car that's ridiculous.
Those are aftermarket diys black wheels, and the missing exhaust tip most likely was the result of driver error backing into something. But glad you are starting to come around a little-lol. Stay well!
A new instant classic line, “ These back seats are buckety”.
They call those seats a "bucket bench"

I swear whenever I’m on the road there’s always at least one Charger in my line of sight.
That's true. They're always in sight.
Joel Inzerillo maybe just maybe they have sold lots of them because they are fun sedans
I live in NY, everyone has Chargers and Rams, they are everywhere
It makes sense why they're popular. The V6 Chargers are kinda fun and relatively cheap.
@@tenhundredkills Pretty much the last of the front engine rear wheel drive cars. At least affordable ones.
My 2009 charger runs like a champ!!! Only 80k miles on it tho!!!
That charger looks like a strippers car.
Hard to spot the glitter..

True 🤣
Be tapping it in the back seat tho lol
strands of hair everywhere , candy pants on the floor
I have started watching only until the first commercial begins. There is still worthwhile knowledge in the first 3 minutes.
If I know my car is going to be featured in a video, I'd at least vacuum it out lol
The v8 hemis are good cars. Bought a 44,000mile 2016 5.7pursuit awd in 2019. Currently 95,000 miles. Tires Brakes rotors, new water pump @90,000 miles. Some hemis burn oil, get top end issues others last beyond 200k. The pursuit charger has a lot of performance for the value on the used market.

Could throw in my 2007 SRT8 for an 'Old vs New' type of video lol. My car is in damn near perfect condition with 107k miles so if Scotty thought this crappy white Charger was well kept, he'd love ours.
@@SRTBOAT love that car but the mileage is atrocious
@@KirilPetrov65 for a 2007, the mileage is actually pretty good. It should have around 135k miles by now. 107k isnt high miles. My car is in excellent condition and has proper maintenence records dating back to the first owner.
The 3.6 Pentastar is a very reliable power plant.
Chrysler: *Breaths*

Bought a 2014 Pursuit Package V8 from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, shes got 148k miles but runs like a dream and really well kept. Only paid about 9k for it, shes my baby :)
Update?
@babyj5617 Still my daily driver. Got about 200k miles on it now. I've had to replace the thermostat twice, and ive had the front suspension replaced. Other than that, no major issues and no "hemi tick" yet.
Scotty: "Chicago Bear's fan"
Appreciate your condolences but we wanted DeAndre Hopkins 😔
Best cars reviews I ever seen, Scotty is the best master tech we look to answer our questions before we buy a car or make a repair. Thank you Scotty
Wow Scotty. Dodge. You're starting to mellow.
It's because Chargers and Challengers are actually pretty good cars considering. Chrysler puts all their money into them since they are pretty much their flagship vehicles.
Drove a nice red Dodge Charger rental in 1970 NYC to Illinois, nice car - real eye catcher -- , but was summer and no AC! Still remember my left arm sticking out the window getting sunburned
Next video: I was wrong about being wrong about the Dodge charger, I was right.
Not to sound like a beer commercial but it don't get any better than that😂😂😂
I rented an SXT (3.6) awhile back, and loved the car! Accelerated good, cornered good, and was even good on bumpy roads, and railroad tracks. The only thing that sucked was the programming of the radio, and climate control.
Jeez get that thing from a junkyard someone needs too learn how to take care of their car 😂 also take off that Plasti-dip on the wheels and grille, it just looks like hell😂
If he were to show cars that were actually taken care of then it wouldnt fit his narrative.
@@redsledgeblu5234 Cars that are well taken care of usually get serviced at the dealers or by someone that does their own work.
Go Chrysler! Yeah...
I had a 2015 with the V6. I loved that thing. Never had a problem. That said I got rid of it at 20k miles because one year in the winter with that thing.... I touch the pedal and i was going 180 degrees in a second. Horrible car in the northern climates in the winter. I had a 93 Chrysler Concorde. Got rid of it with 309k miles (original engine and transmission). Drove it in the UP of Michigan during my college years with no problem. THAT was a hell of a car. 3.3L Mitsubishi V6 that was bullet proof.
Mine has 151000 miles on it and it still going good.
Hi, man and I don’t want to waste your time. Just need some advice from you and I am trying to buy one old charger with good mileage and can you advice how to make it last long and what mileage should I replace. Are you the first owner?
Breaks my heart to see Mopar treated this way. I own a 2017 scat and she’s at about 65k now and she’s never had a single problem. Of course I am sure to maintain the car in every possible way, never leaving a spec of dust on the interior and never allowing anything internally speaking to get behind on services. Chrysler products are temperamental, but if you treat them right, they can ran for a very long time
Still running good? I have a 21 scat 19k miles n it’s the best
Charger are my favorite car so glad to know they are pretty good
I bought a red 2014 charger rt awd just last year with 110k miles for $14.5k. The car was maintained with oil changes every couple thousand miles and ran perfectly. I live in MN where we have a lot of snow in the winter, so I bought bridgestone blizzak tires and went through 8 inches of snow no problem. I tried to get it stuck and it wouldn't. It is an absolute beast. Unfortunately on Feb 13th I got rear ended very badly and ruined the rear and the exhaust. It took a month to fix and was almost totalled. But in the end it came out better than before. We got oem parts for it and the repair guy was able to put a Pypes Violator cat back exhaust on it. To this day I cant get over how well this v8 runs and sounds.
Btw, I bought it myself at 17 years old. Nobody believed I could do it 😂. So I worked hard to prove them wrong and I don't regret it.
im 19 getting ready to buy one this summer and I feel the same way about proving people wrong saying you cant get it
138,000 abused miles with no maintenance. Maybe this might have been a rental at one time. Dodge don't have Toyota reliability but this car could go 200,000 miles if it was taken better care off. Good American muscle in my opinion and at least Dodge still making masculine vehicles thank you for that Dodge.
Is that a white claw in the trunk 😂😂 1:40
My brother has a V6 Charger (2013) and loves the heck out of it! Feels like he got a steal compared with Infinity, and a better car too!
