I really like the dodge charger. Someone my very close Uncle knows may be selling his 2015 RWD V6 sxt with 80k for it and we could probably get $10,500 for it. If the car is in great condition would it make a good first car? Ik they’re reliability is more questionable but I feel like i’d take great care of it because of how much I like it. It also wouldn’t be too bad on insurance because my name wouldn’t even be on my parents insurance. Only the car would be
I would pass. The PentaStar V6 is not a good motor at high mileage.
If your name isn't on the insurance, you won't be covered in an accident.
True, I believe its also insurance fraud which means $$$$ out of the parents and some trouble for them.
That is not a good first car, esp. being an FCA product with that high mileage. You would really be gambling buying it and putting on the miles - it will become a money pit. I would look for a different vehicle more reliable, depending on what you are looking for. You always have to look at the total cost of ownership and that includes repairs; no matter how well you take care of it, it doesn’t make up for lack of poor design on FCA’s part. Quality/reliability has to be designed in from the beginning.
But Chrysler/FCA makes jeeps as well and jeeps like the wrangler, compass, etc. are known for being reliable. How does this make sense if Chrysler's quality is so bad and they're unreliable.
You should search more about the reliability of Jeep.
@anthonynardacci Jeeps are notoriously unreliable. They are towards the bottom of every reliability survey out there. And I'm talking about the Wrangler as well. Definitely research more into that. It's sad but true.
If there's one thing I know about Jeeps, it's that they're always broken.
Don't buy that car, it will bleed your wallet dry.
If you drive any vehicle covered by your parents, and you're an undeclared driver, and are in an accident, not only will comprehensive and liability not be covered, your parents can be sued (theoretically) for insurance fraud. If the corporation covers an accident, it will be because your parents would have to back remit all premium payments from the initial date of the policy (recalculated, adding you to the policy) in full, immediately.
Essentially, failure to declare you as a driver is form of fraud because they knowingly misrepresented the risk involved in calculating premiums. And insurance companies are risk assessment institutions.
Seems like another headache.
Certain states allow non listed drivers to be covered under insurance. Other states like mine require all drivers in a household whether they drive the car or not to be listed on the policy. I would check your state’s insurance laws to be certain. Personally I would pass as it’s a Chrysler product and will have electrical issues. That’s just gonna happen.
I personally don't like Dodge products and think they are overrated. To be brutally honest, I think Dodge vehicles are only good for their appearance. I'd pick a Mustang over any Dodge.
