2019 GT2 - Total Loss

^^21 gt-line != 22 gt-line

I feel for you. Several years ago I was out on the west coast and was given a base Jeep Compass as my rental. Absolute garbage. It struggled to get up the hills in San Francisco.

Seriously. If you're going down a level highway at 75mph and change the cruise control to 76... It has to downshift.

 

[RUFFSTUFF]

Wow, you get a Stinger while you wait? Count yourself lucky.

Car Rental is right by my house so I was looking for anything decent to swap every time I passed by. Saw the Stinger sitting there and said today's the day!

 

[RUFFSTUFF]

Looks like I'll be leaving the Stinger world behind.
Every Kia dealer around here (North/Central Florida) wants $5000 over MSRP for a new Stinger... Even the dealer that sold me my car and did all my services over those 100,000 miles. I will never do that.

Going to check out a Charger Scat Pack Widebody and Challenger Scat Pack Widebody today, both 2022's. We'll see how it goes.

I really want a new one since they totalled mine. But the GT2s around here are in the low 60s which is nutz.

No offense but horrible choice for a scatty lol and it would be more than the Stinger I would assume.

Have fun looking at the 1993 Mercedes E Class with a functional hood scoop and worse interior! Seriously though, the interiors of every single charger/challenger are just awful.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! LOL. Man, gotta do what you gotta do. Not a huge fan, but if you stance out a Charger it's not bad. They sound good too. What about a low mileage, gently used Audi S5, with the sportback. Really like the looks of those and super easy to tune them up.

Good luck!

 

[AtomicGTL]

I would check out an m340i x drive. If you can find a good deal on em.

Exactly. My money, my choice.

Not offended but you're wrong, it's a great choice, perhaps the best choice... Yes it is more than the Stinger, but for me it's not the actual price, it's the actual dealer profit.

I'll take the 305/35-20's all 4 corners, the sound of a V8 and the generic CJDR knobs over a catback and intake that doesn't even sound as good as a Forte GT.


I find it funny how some people get butthurt when discussing other brands. Get over it. I put 100,000 miles on my 2019 GT2, if I want something else I don't need your validation, acceptance or approval. In fact, I tried to get another GT2, either a grand tourer or a leftover Scorpion, but I don't do market adjustments. So, since I can get the Dodges for $100 less than invoice and they are great cars, so be it.

Like I said, nothing is set in stone. If I don't get another Stinger I'll just move along to something else, just like many of you will have to do after 2023.

Not interested in an S5. RS5, sure but if I was going to spend $100k I would get a C8.

Not sure how much scats go in u.s.. and also, dont know if you have a family or interested in a coupe. The supra also is an excellent choice and go for about 60k (in canada anyway)

The Supra will be excellent when it gets Android Auto.

The Supra will be excellent when it gets Android Auto.

Theyre aftermarket support devices for that.

Anywho, good luck.

I spent a few minutes writing out a longer response, but Ill scrap it and just say, okay. Good for you. Just voicing some obvious facts.




great cars..... LOL

Say it!

All jokes aside, Its definitely a step down for most. I would keep my search horizon wider.

nah, its fine. it would just be retaliated at with *well I know this or I know that* Blah blah blah. If the dude wants to buy a 30 year old unreliable, uncomfortable, creaky boat just because he can get it for MSRP, more power to him.

What I don't understand is why they named those Dodges after feces.
