I picked this up a week before my birthday at the beginning of the month.....as a birthday gift to myself I guess you could say. I've wanted one for a few years but figured I wouldn't afford one anytime soon. Well, it's amazing what a job can do. I came to a point where I could make my dream came true and I got exactly what I wanted.

It's a 2005 Magnum R/T. 5.7L HEMI, leather heated seats, GPS/NAV, 6 CD changer, Boston premium sound system, remote start, cruise, MDS system, dual exhaust, 4 wheel disc brakes, dual climate control, U-connect, sunroof, SRT8 wheels. This thing has every option I'd ever want. I had to sell my black 1990 Mustang 5.0L 5 speed though which was a bummer so it was worth it. The Mustang was killing me in gas costs.....was $60 to fill and I was only getting 280km's out of a tank. The Magnum costs $80 to fill and gets 470km's out of the tank...and it's got more power! I got a killer deal on the Magnum too. I absolutely love this thing and I'm constantly trying to find excuses to drive it ;)

Woooooooooooooooooooooo


That is NICE!

Best of luck and a million miles to you!
 
My brother has the same vehicle. I love it, too. You will really like the cylinder displacement that shuts down a few cylinders at cruising speeds so you get 22-24 mpg on the highway. It is a sweet car all the way around. I know you will enjoy it, so have fun! Learn to turn off the traction control if you want to smoke the tires!
 
Nice Magnum! I just bought a 05 Magnum R/T that was traded in at the dealership I work at two months ago. They sold it to me for pretty much what they gave the guy for trade in. Same color and options as yours. I love it!
 
I love mine, I got a 2008 300c Heritage edition that was 1 year old and had 13k miles on it for half price.

I am the third owner.

thats awesome!! how does the AWD handle??? grip the road pretty good??

Mine isn't AWD. I made sure it was RWD before I bought it. I looooove being able to turn traction control off and just lay on it and smoke the back tires ;) It does grip the road really good with the SRT8 20's...I can dive into a corner and not worry about the rear kicking out like I did with my Mustang. I used to scream "STICK ***** STICK" at it :D
 
Always loved the magnums...Im jealous....lemme know realistically fuel mileage and storage capacity

I'm getting about 16mpg in the city and about 23mpg on the hwy. The storage capacity is great....I can fit a two guitar amps and 3 guitars and still have lots of room for other stuff.
 
Looks good buddy, thinking about getting something similar. I have a loaded '06 hemi Ram that sits because to much a issue to park at work , bought a to and from work car,I'm thinking of combining the two one ,maybe I should come test drive yours first see how I like them :burnout: lol
 
Nice ride, you will love it. I miss mine. Had to sell it to pay medical bills. Buy a tuner, it will improve the gas milageage and add horse power. I used a Diablo Sports Predator. I have got 23mpg fully loaded with bikes, gear and luggage for 4 people and an average speed of 70 mph.
