I think it depends on the model what you get for a trans. I've had them for rentals and they ALWAYS have horrible transmissions. Used to be a slushy 3spd but now I think you get a slushy 4spd. Friend had a Charger (basically the same car) once as a rental that had a v8 and 3spd, the engine was great, the trans sucked, it took forever to figure out you wanted to go. My 2010 Dodge RAM has the 5.7l hemi v8 which is a terrific engine. 104,000 miles now with no issues other than somebody butchered the rear wiring harness to put on the trailer lights but thats before I got it. My Indy got it straightened out no worries. IIRC it makes around 345hp, hauled Dimitri's (formerly Dimitri's I guess) 240D 200 odd miles no problem while returning 15mpg in a 4 door 4wd pickup. In a car it'd be a rocket. Any hoopty made after about 2000 is going to be pretty reliable, anything 10 years old is either junk or has the issues worked out. As with anything look for records and inspect condition carefully. -Curt
