Welcome to "The coolest Dodge Magnum Forum on the Net!"

Hello! I am brand new to the forum, but not new to the platform. I've owned a 2007 300C, 2012 300s, a 2008 Charger RT, a 2015 Charger Scat Pack and a Caliber SRT4. Still kicking myself for selling the Scat Pack, but it was necessary. Anyway, looking to buy a Magnum cash money and build / rebuild over the next couple of years. I want a daily driver, either a 3.5 or a 5.7. In the early year Magnums, is there anything in particular I should be looking for or to avoid?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just rolled past 120,000 miles still kicking. How much are you looking to spend.

I'm in Northern California, and am seeing $4k - $11k depending on condition and model. I did find a couple of 2500 deals, but they're pretty well trashed. I'll probably start out with a 3.5L 100k or so around $4k and maybe move up to an SRT8 in a year or two. I loved my 2015 Scat Pack, but it was simply too expensive to pay for and gas up at the time. But I had about 2 years of grinning ear to ear every time I drove it.

I am not sure I could part with mine. Its still an attention getter. I have a 6 mile round trip to work every day. Gas mileage still isn't great. I can still get 22-23 on the highway.

Its been a great car.

I am in Dallas, Texas. I am sure its one of the last survivors the roads around here are trash.
