Newbie Question regarding the Dodge Magnum RT

I think it is selling really well. My mom lives near a Dodge dealer. I checked the lot and he had 8 Magnums on the lot. None had the price sticker on it. I went back a week later and 6 of them are gone. The only ones left are the ones the salesmen drive.

They are willing to let you out of the deal because they already have someone else willing to pay more for the car. I haven't heard anything bad about them but I don't expect we would this early in the game. Proabably be a good year before any problems that might exist start showing themselves.

I would dump the Volvo and get the magnum if it were me.

Well,thank you all!

I took delivery of my Inferno Red Dodge Magnum RT today!

Sweet! Really really Sweet! Way sweet!

Thanks again.

I agree, but then I'm not the Volvo type.Don't act like you don't know what I mean. The volvo is the least styled car on earth, and the Dodge Magnum, well, isn't.

The OP must have plenty of money; ordered a brand new car and bought another brand new car to drive "while I wait".

Dude, Life is too short.

I use to drive a 2002 Durango, and I still own a 1966 Mustang with a built

289(See picture link below). Wife drove a Taurus SHO. SHO gave up on her one day on the California Freeway with my 10 months old Baby. So I ran and bought her a Volvo as a surprise. She didn't like or want the Volvo, instead she took my Durango.

Meanwhile I had ordered a Magnum with the intentions of selling or trading in my Durango.

So now I try to sell the Volvo at a huge loss. But life is still great and I give thanks to God for giving me the means to provide for my family!

What's your story Joe?

My first reaction was, gee, he's going to take a bath on that Volvo. But then I noted, apparently correctly, that you were seeking automotive advice, not financial advice. If money is no object, hell yes you should get the Magnum! (Which apparently you did.)

Congrats on the new car. Good luck dumping the Volvo. Nice pictures, by the way.

You bought you wife a Volvo? Don't you love her anymore? :-)

Lol! {;-)}

Thanks for the comments.

Pictures of the Magnum will be on line tonight!

I've had my Magnum RT for 4 days now. That much power for that little price and that much fuel efficiency (I've averaged 20 mpg city and highway so far)

I need a little help here guys! How do I wipe a big ole freaking smile off my fu**ing face! It's a rush driving this darn thing I tell you!

Drive a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, or similar generic disposable people-mover and think about the poor sods that actually PAID to own one of those things. :-)

So I drove to Palm springs area early this morning for a meeting from Rancho Cucamonga (Ontario area) on 10 freeway (Relatively flat) Because of the comfort UConnect, I was able to be on the phone from Ontario to Cabizon. Also I only cruised at 60-70 mph

At Cabizon I stopped to buy some clothing at the retails outlet and noticed that my car averaged 29.3 MPG on the computer. Pretty unbelievable!

Of course coming back was more like 23 mpg since there was traffic and when there was no traffic I was more attentive (meaning I was flying)

I have posted pictures I took of the odometer on my webshots site below. Look in the album with cars.

Trip computers can vary quite a bit from reality. What was the mileage based on calculation?

Trip Computer. Are you going to bust my bubbles? :-)

Someone did a comparison a while ago and the chrysler computer matched his fillup calculations with 0.1 miles per gallon.

Should have noted that I am not sure what model car his comparison was except it was another chrysler.

I think it was a Sebring. Mine (also a Sebring) can be accurate to within .3MPG at times, but when it's not it is always overstating mileage 1-3MPG. Same for my wife's car. It isn't always accurate, for some reason.

If it uses the in-tank sender, it could be that sometimes your car is Full instead of FULL-FULL.
