Help me buy an $80,000 car

I'm a bit late to the party but I have to agree with the majority of responses that this car is not worth $80k usd. First thing that turned me off is the non original powertrain, no matter what it will always be a 318 car, period. For me the value is not there largely because of this, but I also see this as an 'ok' driver quality car, which I would value at closer to $45k. At the asking price of this one, there are just far too many problems, from paint chips and swirls to missing park brake components and well worn seats, plus broken emblems, dented bumpers, etc.
I think for the money you can find a much better car that won't leave you feeling cheated.

I am with you on original power train but 50% + of the buyers now don’t even think about that . It’s the non-Mopar people driving this market .

OP , sounds like you have cash to spare so what hell . Buy it and have an expert go through it. Bring a Charger guy with you to pick out glaring defects. Think about it this way… if you dropped 90k on a new BWM Audi or Mercedes it would drop 30% driving off the showroom .
And you can’t take your money with you when you die. Your kids will blow it on something anyway .

I sold luxury cars for 25 years and had customers that would buy 2 or 3 cars per year losing 20-30 each time they traded . The other employees were aghast at the notion …. I pointed out that that customer gets 8,000,000 bonuses and to him he was spending a smaller percentage of his income on these cars than we do for lunch !
