| I have been aggressively paying off my car since last year May. I'm literally living off $60 a week and the rest goes into savings & car payment. I have saved enough to mod the living shit outta my Daytona. I really want to supercharge my car and bring it to life. but... my parents said why don't I get a 2012 Dodge Charger with low miles that will last me a lot longer when it's paid off. My Daytona just hit 90k miles ![Sad](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_sad.gif) and I'm starting to question if I should invest in it. Opinions? Advice? I really do love the '12 Charger ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) | |

| Get a core model SRT or a superbee. You can find some bee's that have just been sitting on dealers lots. | |

| ^^^ what he said.
IMO, 90,000 miles is quite a bit for the mods you're talking about. | |

| I agree with all the info above. Plus you can drive your current car as your daily and bring out the srt or superbee only when it's nice | |

| If you like the older body style, I recently saw a brand new 07 srt charger for sale in Woodstock. Brilliant black $34k or buy my old Challenger with a bunch of mods already done. | |

| I dont know what your financial situation is, but if all you have is $60 a weeek left after savings and car payment....i dunno man.
It's not like a 2012 Charger is cheap. Just a thought.
How about finish paying your current Charger, sell it privately, then buy a newer Charger. The dealer will not give you what your car is worth most of the time.

He will get really close to what its worth if buying a newer srt8. They need to move them asap. | |

I can afford a used 2012 charger ($18k-25k) ONCE i either payoff or bring down my current loan down. It's the 90k mile mark... bummer lol | |

Ok cool, I thought I was tripping from my meds. And I agree with what Tom (firestartr420) said " put the money towards a newer car that has a larger engine to start with and the mod the crap out of that one..... you'll be happier in the long run anyway..." | |

| I know someone who is thinking about doing the same as you. Keep the old car and mod it or get something newer/ less miles. Its a big decision. You have to make sure you can live, having a cool car is nice but being able to eat and have heat at your house is much nicer. But look at it this way either way you will have a badass car. ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) | |
