Sup guys.

Making the transition from my SRTs to a Trackhawk in the upcoming weeks. Question I have is.... Would you worry about a Hawk with 50k on it? Looks in good shape... Legit Jeep dealer selling it not a Auction car that has circled the USA.....

Any Input from you guys would be great!


Btw - I have had had 3 SRTs... 300 , WK1 and Currently a WK2.... Formular with the Hemi Platform.


Thanks!

Look for typical signs of lifter failure though much less of a concern than the SRT, also check brakes and rotors as they tend to be a bit pricy on this platform. Check for modifications/tunes and if there are find out who tuned it and what was done. That should give you a decent idea of what your getting into.

i have my 22s from my jeep and lowering springs and some parts i will be swapping over. Brakes and Rotors are pretty new from what I saw. The Hawk is Stock.. Only thing that bothers me is the Red interior. But Everything else on it has exactly what i want. Just wanted ot see how these motors are with higher miles. I heard they are pretty bullet proof till about 800 ish hp.

50000 miles is nothing, but use it as a bargaining tool anyway.

The mileage means some one enjoyed driving it, rather than looking at it.

Good luck. I just put mine up for sale & can say, I really don't care if anyone buys it or not. It's a daily driver for me and it has been great. I too moved from the SRT (2015) to the Hawk. It's hard to believe it gets better but it does. If that thing is still stock I have to believe it hasn't been abused too bad. I always look at the interior to give me the best understanding of how the previous owners are. If you see scratches all over the black accents you know, they didn't really give a s**t about the vehicle overall. That's just my opinion. You have any pics of it?

Seems like honesty at a dealership is a unique item. Hope you find the right one.

Yes and no... I work in Auto sales for over 15 years.... The guy I dealt with was newer. gave me picture's etc but on a white vehicle and could not really be scene from the pictures he sent. It is what it is... I mean the vehicles were buying / have are expensive.... and IF I am going to be selling a 80,000 + Vehicle …. I would make sure that thing is standing strong no issues etc.... Just some people represent the business a little different I guess.
