In addition to the Chrysler 300, the W211 Mercedes E-Class and W220 S-Class were also constructed on the same platform. As a result, the Dodge Magnum, which was only produced between 2004 and 2008, was also quite comfortable.
Depending on the configuration, it was available with either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The most powerful version, known as the SRT-8, featured a 6.1L V8 engine that produced 425 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just over five seconds and complete the quarter mile in approximately 13 seconds.
Lesser models were equipped with either a pair of V6 engines or a 5.7L V8, with the latter powering the car pictured here. When new, it produced just under 350 horsepower, and most of that power should still be intact. This 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T has a black exterior, a tan leather interior, five-spoke wheels, and has accumulated almost 81,000 miles (~130,000 km).
The photos provided by the seller in the advertisement, which we will discuss shortly, reveal that this car is still a compelling option, particularly with its powerful engine. It should still be capable of delivering an exhilarating experience to its occupants when the accelerator is pressed firmly. Overall, we admire this model and believe it would make a great family car, especially for those who do not require the additional ground clearance offered by crossovers and SUVs.
You are probably wondering about the price, and it is actually quite reasonable considering what it offers. The listing from Garage Kept Motors states an asking price of $14,900, which is a great value for such a vehicle. While there may be cheaper Magnums available for sale, this one is definitely worth considering. All it needs is some fuel in the tank and a new driver behind the wheel.
By the way, just for fun, let’s compare its price with that of America’s cheapest new car, the Nissan Versa, which has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $16,390. Personally, we would prefer to cruise around in this impressive station wagon rather than a new subcompact model, even if it lacks a warranty and may experience mechanical issues. What about you?
