Tough choice to be sure. I'm a sucker for B5, so I'd probably throw caution & $$$ to the wind & sell Taxi Cat for the new one.

That thing is beautiful! It does not have the new widebody wheels I absolutely love, but I would not hesitate to ride off into the sunset in this car. You'll be turning heads 'til you are done with this baby!

I am hoping for less attention than this one, if the deal is completed.

These are standard equipment. Not an upgrade.

Before you plunk your cash down, be DAMN SURE all the content/features that are suppose to be on the car (per the sticker & build sheet) is actually there !
Finding stuff missing on the DDSRT (as are others) that's suppose to be installed. Just getting started with Dodge on this, so not sure if it was intentional 'de-contenting' to save a buck (on $80K+ vehicles) or some parts shortage & they built them anyway with missing features but did not update the docs or bother to inform us lowly customers.

What are you missing? I've already noticed that 2 badges are the wrong finish on the car from the pictures. Look at the Charger and Dodge on the taillights. I ordered black.

I don't want to deal with that. Things not on the car that's listed??

Keep that or get the new one, kind of a win/win. To me the B5 widebody is worth it if you have the $$$, but at the same time what is the difference 30-40k? That is a lot of dough. On principle it’s a no, want it factor cannot be underestimated though ;)

Here's the original order sheet. The window sticker is different for the badges.

I ordered it because I wanted it. Very simple. The difference of msrp of the 2 is $17K. Purchase price swing is about $20K.

It's a tough decision. I'm still going back and forth. A few factors has to happen for me to pull the trigger.

Leave it to Dodge to charge you $199 for black exterior badging only to find out when the car is built you only get some of the exterior badging in black. WTF.

Love my JGC SRT and HC but so glad to have moved on from this company.

It's a damn shame. Now I'm wondering what else isn't there or substituted for something else?

To hard to keep clean.
That’s like saying tits are too big ;)

$20k is not a huge difference if you want it IMO
