Hi mates, I've read all the posts about the Challenger, I'd like to buy a 98-99-2000 used ones. I'll arrive to Oz on January 12th, located in
Southport,GC,Qld.
What should I check for this model, how many kms could the engine (3.0 V6) could last.
What's is the biggest cost of the main servicing. Sorry, I'm not a real expert.
I've already had so many helps in this wonderful
forum,hope another efforts from you.
ThanX a lot
Vanni

I to am not an expert either. All I can say is "Great Choice" I love my Challenger, and so far not had a single issue with it in 2 years. I bought
mine second hand (2000 model) from a Mitsi dealer, and got a 3 year mechanical warranty thrown in...it basically covers all mechanical parts exc Labour, so an extra piece of mind.
Great choice in 4wd

I wish I could have a good bargain like you. I'm looking on used car website.
Are models from 1998 different from the ones from 2000?

Do you have Manual or AUTO ? About servicing, is it expensive? What is your average kms per litre? Sorry for all these questions, but I must have things clear in my mind.
