im sorry my error the price was 15,900 (17,200 out the door) (it was 17,900 before the trade in) had the car for almost 3 months now and put 4000 miles on it so far so good. .

Thanks for the update. For a minute there, I thought I was going to have to move !!
 
Congrats on the car. I have a Magnesium 2006 SXT, purchased in July 05 (one of the first in Orange County, CA). To this day, if I was in the market for a 4 door sedan, I would get a Charger. I LOVE IT !! Mods: Tinted windows, Dual exhaust, Daytona style spoiler, Garmin Navigation system (mounted in the dash where one of the air conditioning vents were) and 18" RT rims given to me free by an RT owner who got custom rims). 52,000 miles. No real problems, although I do get the "shutter" as some people call it sometimes, when I quickly remove my foot from the accelerator. I guess it just does not bother me like it does someothers...
 
Enjoy your new ride...

Looking at getting a used Charger. At first I was looking for the AWD version since we can have some lousy whether here in Pennsylvania. I let myself get talked into thinking that I don't need it and its just extra expense.
 
Just looking around at various dealerships, I found a 2008 Charger AWD for around $20K. I could still get a low to moderate mileage 2010 Charger for about $19K. My wife (who will be driving the car) thinks we should wait for some 2011's to start popping up used.
 
To be honest, I am not sure how much difference there is between the model years. I guess the 2011 was redesigned, but I am not sure its worth the extra money. I am also not sure if the AWD is worth the extra cost.
 
How does the RWD handle in bad weather? Is it worth it to get the AWD version? Any particular reason I should hold off and try to get a 2011?

Wait for the 2011s! Or the 2012s! The difference between the 3.5 and the 3.6/8-speed is huge and worth the wait.

Definitely get the AWD. I live in Rochester, NY where the winters are pretty severe. I just traded in my 2005 MAgnum R/T AWD for a new 2011 Charger R/T AWD. I run with four snow tires (Falken Eurowinters) and with AWD have never had problems in snow, ice or rain.

Definitely get the AWD Charger and a 2011 or newer. Its always a relief knowing that you can drive through snow(mild) if needed as opposed to the RWD.
It also helps when it comes to re-sale, you will always have an upper hand over the RWD.
Newer body style, 8 spd tranny, AWD = Win win
