I'm a new forum member looking to buy a Magnum (baby on the way), and I've found an 05 in Miami that looks like a decent buy. Unfortunately I live overseas (in Norway), and I'm not brave enough to buy the car without having it looked over.
Anyone in the Miami area that would be willing to look it over for me? I'd cover your expenses of course and a little extra as a thank you.
Welcome from Tallahassee, FL.. i would be glad to help you out, but i am about 6-8 hours from Miami. I think there is someone else on here that is closer if not in Miami. Hopefully they will chime in..
Wow, you guys are fast - two replies in less than 10 minutes!
Hopefully I'll be able to pick this one up, it fits my bill just right. With the crazy import taxes here in Norway a HEMI is out of the question unfortunately. Going with an SE the taxes will be about $46.000. Yep, that's right, fourtysix thousand dollars. Stepping up to an awd SXT would add another $30.000 dollars to that...
My daily driver now is a 400hp awd Dodge Stealth, so stepping down to rwd and half the hp is going to hurt for sure. But as far as style goes, you just can't go wrong with a Magnum.
Yeah, it's so depressing. When I lived in the US I bought my '91 Stealth for $7500, then when I moved back to Norway I had to pay about $15.000 in taxes for it. Anything that's fun, the government slaps crazy taxes on it...
Of course I could just buy an underpowered, bland looking station wagon like every other guy, but I'd rather pay a little extra and have a car that I'm happy with.
Welcome from Palm Bay Florida... I would be more than willing to help but I also live like 2-3 hours away. There are some guys on here from Miami so maybe they can help you out.
