    As a Current 1 1/2 owner here I definitely agree. It’s not the newest looking car but it definitely acts like it. The car is a dependable daily for me as well if maintained properly. I feel like my inside interior is more better looking with the red leather than the outside. Some paint has faded, side skirt broken, constant creaks, suspension is moderate to poor by worn bushings. But flaws aside it still feels like a sedan muscle car

      Oh yeah it’s a sedan muscle car for sure! I love the red leather interior, that’s awesome!

    Cool video I got one for my first car I like it bc it smooth and good looking but I want to add the spoiler but idk if am a regret bc I have a habit of eating or sitting on the bk lol
    Where did get those wheels ?

      Thanks I appreciate it! I got the wheels from Belle tire a while ago, back in 2017. I originally bought them for my Chrysler 300 at the time but they fit on the charger nicely

    Honestly feels like a blast daily driving this car the only thing that bothers me is the back up camera failing often 😅

    I have a 12 rt max? Plus? Has 4 heated seats, ac front seats, heated steering wheel and mirrors. Heated and chilled cup holders, back up cam, tan leather and so much more. Paid 16k at 96k miles in 2020. Has 122k now and have had to do 6k in repairs. It just breaks all the time. But the awd is a beast in the snow. Sounds great and know I’ll never get another awd v8 car again. So I keep it running. Plus the 11-14 chargers look the best in my option. The hood and headlights are just so much better than the newer cars! Enjoy it as long as you can my man!

    • @apprenticeautomotive
      @apprenticeautomotive  Месяц назад +1

      That’s awesome!!! I think the 11-14 chargers are the best looking too. I’m surprised it breaks all the time, mine has never had any issues knock on wood. I plan to run mine till the wheels fall off and then build it back up again lol

      @@apprenticeautomotive new power steering rack, awd module, transfer case seal, water pump, lower control arms, front axles, trunk release sensor, new tires ever 10k miles (zero burnouts cause awd), fresh air door actuator, something ac regulator, radiator, upper lower hoses, idler pulley, breaks and rotors. All in 26k miles. The passenger door is pulling away and now the cluster gauge has a battery light on, but no charging issues, it’s the cluster. But have had it over 120 many of times. Guess that’s what you get when you drive it hard. And that’s not even figuring in the 13.5 mpg and mid grade fuel!

      @@Br99klynINg24_8 that’s what I thought too. But there was huge amounts of service records for it. It was a corporate car that the person using it didn’t have to pay for any service. Things that most people ignore was done before I got it. I researched awd hemis before getting mine and everyone had nothing but great things to say. Maybe mine is just that 1? Doesn’t matter either way, I’m going to continue to beat it and fix it till the doors fall off!

    With a proper engine/trans tune and a high stall converter this thing would rip! For context, my turbo 2006 5.7 300c with the 2015+ awd police charger runs a 10.8@126mph and does awd burnouts haha

      Yessir, I’ve had mine for 60,000 miles, currently at 130,000 miles, and have had zero issues. I’ve heard of other people have some issues, it all depends on how you take care of it and how the previous owner has taken care of it

      Mine has 245k mi. Main issues to replace: ball joins, suspension bushings, coolant thermostat, oil cooling unit, climate actuators.. A little bit of oil leak at the heads, and the transmission is making me nervous.
