Saving up for my second car opinions?
Posted by MathematicianSalty31@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 7 comments
I was looking to try to save up to $12,000 I’m trying to find a muscle car preferably with under 100,000 miles. I’ve been looking at fb marketplace at this 2012 dodge charger r/t but just wanted opinions on if I should get the charger or something else??

Yeah so don’t get a muscle car. Insurance is going to be like $800 a month for you

You're looking... To try... To save 12k.
Maybe you actually start saving the money and get close before you go car shopping?. That could take you 6 months, or 6 years... Either way the market and what's available will be different

I have a couple grand already but I work at ford so it’ll only take me like 4 months

It's a safe bet that 90%+ of the Hemi MOPARs for sale out there have been beaten like a rented mule. I think I'd look at buying a rental car before I bought a used Charger. Or at least buy a former cop car, so that way you know while it's had the shit beat outta it, it was at least maintained.
Anything with an SRT badge on it is gonna be someone else's serious problem they're trying to dump on you.
