Looking at a 2015 SRT 392 6 spd. I took it for a test drive and it runs and drives great. It’s really clean too. I just can’t get over the mileage 125k. They want $19k. Car fax has consistent history until 85k. It changed hands a couple of times in the last 15k miles. Looks like it was between dealers. I know I could spend a little more and get something with lower miles, but I have 4 cars in the driveway right now so I don’t want to spend a fortune on another one. I just miss having some thing with a V8 and a stick. View attachment IMG_4454.jpeg

with that mileage, I'd think 15-16k would be more reasonable. but first, need to know if it really in a 392, do all the VIN's match, and why the hood and spoiler were replaced with more recent versions. taking advantage of damage to change the appearance? some other issue? just wanted to change the look? were other parts swapped? the after market fender flares and wheels are a nice touch, though.

It was in a minor accident and they decided to change the hood since there was some paint work being done.

I don’t have much info or pictures. Who ever did the repair did a great job. It’s spotless, but the mileage is tough. Even searching online it’s almost impossible to find any over 100k. So I know once I buy it I’m stuck with it until it dies since it won’t have much value down the road.

Fit on that hood & the RF fender are definitely 'off', guessing that's from the accident repair. LF looks askue as well but hard to tell in that pic.

At the very minimum I'd have a known good collision shop give it the once over + a solid mechanical inspection.

Price seems high to me given the age, miles (on a northern car), accident history and missing history for the last 40k miles !!
If it's being swapped around from dealer to dealer that means others have passed on it for quite some time & price should be low, low, low.
