I hear this all the time but their must be those that regret buying one after all their are many for sale.
Any ex owners out there? What made you sell besides financial reasons?

My experience is just a small and random sample, but I searched for a year for a used Challenger, especially the 2010s (they were the last year that the chip could be "cracked" and yield improved performance). I never came across one seller with a negative about the car. It was always financial problems.

Yes, of course a seller will lie about any problems, but it seemed for real - no complaints on quality, dependability, or performance.

OK, once there was a seller who wanted a new Mustang, and maybe it wasn't purely financial.

Not exactly evidence but just my  :Twocents:

I am remembering a consumer reports survey that rated the 09 challenger highest for consumer satisfaction for that year. (90%+). Had I been asked It would have been higher.

Congrats on the Challenger. Mine is stripeless too. It came like that though. You need to get on Challengerforumz.com.
If your wheels ain't spinn'n you ain't got no traction.

Congratulations as well. Mine (Mr. Green) is also stripe delete.

PS - I still have my Road Runner. And I'm not going to r-u-n-o-f-t to ChallengerTalk.com. Very good site they have, but the Challenger crowd there is pretty one-dimensional. DC.com to me is the best forum community.

This remains THE site for my Mopar addiction. This is home!



congrats on the new car! I hear that color.

I hear ya about ChallengerTalk (and LXForums, etc). There is stuff to fix on those cars, but its usually such a common problem that when you do ask a question about it, you get snarky comments like "there are 100 threads about it already...don't you know how use search?"  I met some good people and friends at both of those sites, but I hardly go there any more. Some times it gets a little silly, like when you read about the guy who never drives his '09 Challenger and keeps it in a climate controlled garage with tire warmers because its a "numbered" car; or how at LXF people are buying door projectors  like its the greatest thing ever.

Congrats :2thumbs:  I got my 2010 SRT this past weekend. Had to have the B5 or I would have got a new one. No stripes on it but plenty after market.

Congrats on your purchase! I just sold my 2010 PCP R/T classic. i originally got it because it was supposed to be a limited run, and hardly anyone knew it was available until it was too late in 2010. That made it cool and different. Only 1 other person anywhere around Baton Rouge had one. Then dodge in usual fashion went out this year and brought back the color again, so now they are popping up everywhere around here.. So much for being different. That irritated me to no end. On a positive note, i am very glad you were able to get one this time around. And honestly i didn't understand why dodge didn't just offer PCP, sublime, hemi orange, B5 blue, and Detonator Yellow as a permament color from the get go. I think the bright colors look best on a challenger.
i live in CHARGERLAND.. visitors welcome. 166 total, 7 still around

I saw a couple purps at the dealer in my area that looked good

In the past I've seen pics of 2010 models with the white stripe and a white interior. They are spectacularly flashy.

But for me I don't want the stripe. Katzkin (spelling?) makes a white interior replacement for the Challengers, but it costs thousands. I'm good with the factory grey leather.
