The Charger R/T is a nice car and looks pretty good on some 22's Concaved!!!

Camarolover85 · 06-30-2014, 05:54 PM

I don't like the Charger at all! It doesn't even look like a sports car to me whatsoever. Sorry man, that really sucks. I could never trade my Camaro for anything but a camaro

Bought the 2014 and now I'm waiting to trade it in for the 2016's if I like it

Drive the charger for a couple years, enjoy it, take care of it, and then trade it in for a 6th Gen 1LE or something special. Look at it as setting up for the really cool car a little later

Sorry to hear about your loss OP

smokingcamaro · 06-30-2014, 06:32 PM

Well to tell you the truth I really got tired of to having that much space in my Camaro and thought that going with a four door would make it better. The Charger is a great car don't get me wrong but I don't have any kids and I can barely park the big ass car. i also felt that the Camaro drove a little bit better around the turns and around town. I do mostly city driving and the gas in the Charger is eating me alive. Now the Charger does have a lot more power of the line but when it goes in to the Eco mode it really feels like the engine is braking for me. When I went back to see about getting my Camaro back for the price I paid for it they wanted to sell the Car for the same price that I am paying a month for the Charger. They thought I was insane the salesmen even walked out in the middle of the conversation and never came back. i now officially hate car salesmen!! I know I got a great deal on the Charger but lord they only wanted to give me $24,000 for it.

I know that feel bro. 2 days after I bought my 13, the 14 was released with a new body style and I had no idea! I didn't like the taillights but they're growing on me. But knowing a 6th gen will be released most likely in September of next year... Better wait.

beany323 · 06-30-2014, 06:50 PM

don't you get a 2015 ?

I guess! I'd definitely, choose a challenger over those chargers!

Why are you putting down a persons car? Trading down is how you look. at it and just a opinion! You think any V8. car is better than no V8?

OP if it means that much to you , go get it back! I wouldn't care about the payments happiness is what matters! Remember you only live once! And you can leave this earth sooner than later! So get what you're happy with! Not what others is happy with! Plus, you'll be paying less than you are for the charger that you don't like!

I know what it's like. Since Feb of this year I traded my 6.1 Super Bee on an impulse buy for a 5.0 and then my 5.0 for an SS When I should have just kept The Bee.....

BigRed585Lbs · 06-30-2014, 07:00 PM

Before changing brands, check out their forums. If they aren't as good as this one, save your money to buy more mods. You'll be happier in the end.

Can I get an "Amen" to that?

benji276289 · 06-30-2014, 07:02 PM

I can sympathize with the OP. I bought a 2013 2LT/RS in November of 2012. I loved the car but felt I needed a larger car so traded it in for a 2011 Charger Mopar11 in August of 2013. The car had only 500 miles on it. I had buyers remorse like the OP and in March of this year traded the Charger back in for my current 2013 2SS/RS. I took a real bath on the finances but just felt the Charger was not right for me. My current car had only 650 on the odometer. When you make a mistake on these cars, you're going to lose money, lots of money. At least the Charger uses regular fuel. Only the SRT8s need 93 octane.
