Mineral Gray SRT8

[JETLIFE]

Saw this Jeep for sale near me, Called up to question it. Fought with the salesman about whether or not it was a fake SRT8 or a repainted SRT8. He denied both, I ran the VIN and it is an SRT, But it has certainly been repainted. He argued that this is factory paint and he could gaurantee it. I told him the colors that SRT's were offered in. He claimed it was a one owner non accident vehicle, But the color change makes me doubt that..

What do you guys think?

look at the engine bay pics...it was silver

[Scottina06]

also....look at the pic of the door moldings...thats a respray! I can tell that and I dont even work in a body shop.,...LOL

^That and the color code on the door is PSB. Which is Bright Silver Metallic.

Tell the salesman that you can def prove that it isnt factory and that if you are right, you will be able to buy it for 10k. LOL

[robpp]

tell the salesman to get a build sheet/

[JETLIFE]

Well that's the only reason I called, I knew it was repainted, I know more about these Jeeps than most Jeep dealers! I would never sell a high milage gas guzzler to buy a previously wrecked high milage gas guzzler! haha I just don't like seeing shitty salesman pass it off as something it isn't.

[JETLIFE]

He even said "when I prove my point to you, will you buy the whole shop a coffee?" I said "yeah sure, if when you find your self wrong you drop the price $10k"

[nighthawk306]

what a dummy. shows you, yet again, to stay away from used car dealers like that. how hard it is to go to ANY jeep site and see an srt in that color doesnt exist. like that fade from silver to mineral gray in the rear bumper area...bad blend/respray.

i do however like that combo...if only it was real.

EDIT: when did 2006 srts come with a fully painted front bumper? makes you question every other car at that dealer.

My color code is ps2 for bright silver. But you are correct sir definitely was silver.

[White Chocolate]

I love that color though!

[Rocky31186]

Yeah the 06's had 2 tone bumpers... so someone repainted it..

Did you prove the guy wrong yet?

[lll2for3lll]

Way too many miles on that thing.

[Chaoul1]

Respray. Rear Bumper is F*cked up. Front Bumper is from on 07' but painted to Mineral Gray like the rest.They really sucked at painted this one. Engine bay is Silver like said above^^^.

[lll2for3lll]

And way to many miles to even think about buying it.

Color code for silver is psb and ps2. Changed after 06 I believe my good man.

[jgc4ever]

The paint looks awful. It's got more orange peel than a factory paint job, which takes some sucky painting to accomplish.

Haha, I noticed that when looking through the pictures.

[Hemi05WK]

That has to be the worst thing I have ever seen.... they should be ashamed

[Knightrider03m]

Any updates?

[JETLIFE]

the Jeep is in kilometers...

[JETLIFE]

No updates, I'll give him a call tomorrow! lol I just wanna hear him admit it!

[Knightrider03m]

That Jeep has about 97K miles on it. Still a lot of miles for the money.

Absolutely. Also it's in CAD, But it's still overpriced even by canadian pricing.

Not to mention it has probably been in a serious accident. The problem is they're selling it as a one owner no accident vehicle and I just highly doubt it. It's a $10,000 jeep... At most.

I'm not too sure if its been in an accident. Maybe an owner that has more money than he/she knows what to do with it had it painted to their likening. Can carfax check Canadian cars?

[Marlin]

LOL.... look at the masking job around the build tag :p

hahahaha

[JETLIFE]

The exhaust is hangin' pretty bad on it too, I bet it was in an accident!

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

def an accident!

[Scottina06]

yeah...he couldve hated silver and had it repainted...although poorly. My Jep has never been in any accident ad its had paint work. paint work doesnt always mean wrecked/body damage. Look at all the frame rails, look for bondo work, scratch lines from body work etc.

[Marlin]

What Scott says, it doesn't HAVE to mean it's had an accident......... Jeesh!

It's still a pig though.

[lll2for3lll]

That thing is a hog.



Just gimme the engine.
