grab someone who knows about cars whenever you decide so you don’t get a lemon

I’ve bought 2 dodge chargers, both for around $7,500. I HIGHLY recommend going online and finding “police pursuit” chargers, both of mine are 2014s but if you get like a 2008-2012 it should be in that 6k range. Main thing is do research on it, make sure that year doesn’t have recalls or anything, and listen for lifter tick (hemi tick) on the high mileage ones. Last thing is check the engine idle hours, a lot of idle hours isn’t ideal, but wasn’t a deal breaker for me. Be safe and have fun!

Get something older like early 2000s and maintain it well, lots of cars back then can really go for hundreds of thousands of miles

They’re so overpriced on the used market. The better deals are often the reliable models/years from other brands.
