That's roughly $37,500 for a non RT.  A bit high... but if you're in the UK you have to figure in the shipping, etc.    If it was a straight up RT it'd be right in the ball park.  Looks like nice paint job.

Forgetting obvious issues....the usual suspects will be along in a moment to pick it to bits!!!....the only thing that worries me is why is so "cheap"? When I say cheap I mean cheap for the UK....recently I've seen complete donkeys sell for that and more than this one is up for. Just so you American friends know, 68-70 Chargers are typically double the US price over here. Hmmm.

Yes I know what you mean but with Chargers in the UK it's all about supply and demand so sellers can almost name their price unfortunately , the car has not been MOT'd yet which can potentially be expensive.

I think that Car looks great and is worth checking out !
Guess I am being slightly biased here, as ours is Black W/Saddle Tan Interior as well, but IMO, that Black/Tan color combination grows on you with a very comfy and "rich" feeling to it.
I can't tell from the Pics because the windows are down, but even better the factory G11 Tinted Glass all around option ?

As far as pricing ?
IMO, as long as the mechanicals are good, he is in the ballpark according to nada guides or hagerty's as follows:
For base cpe and 500 models: -20% for slant six.
For base cpe, 500, and R/T: +15% for SE Pkg.
For all Chargers: +20% for 4-spd. -10% for auto.
Colors can make an astonishing difference in both value and salability.

Looks good in the pics but how do you really know what is hiding under that shiny new paint job? if it really is 100% rustfree & bondo free then go for it. LEON.

If you are in the UK and want a car now, it's a good point to start negotiating.  :Twocents:

Couple of things that stand out from the description are:

"Dash is in great condition but a couple of dials not working but should be an easy enough fix.". Ok, so why not fix them if they are easy

"The car will need a service but the engine runs sweet and starts on the button, whilst I havnt been on a long drive in the car it appears to run through the gears fine and stops as it should". How hard is it to service the car. Doesn't sound like he's sure if it will over heat or have hard re starts.

"So overall a beautiful looking car that looks showroom stunning but is still a bit of a small project". So the car has issues

The seatcovers aren't quite stock looking.


Looks like a nice car overall.  I'd love to have it.

I agree with your thinking. Plus there's a lot of hype in the ad description! But in all fairness it is a nice looking car. I like the color combo.

This seems like a reasonable starting price to me. Especially considering its in the UK.

If I lived there, I'd strongly consider this one.
