Thoughts on a '21 GT Premium PP1

[ramu3527]

Took it for a rip. Fun to drive. Pretty clean too. As far as the ride, I don't feel I would need the MagneRide. Even with just the PP1, it rode pretty nice and handled great.

Not sure I trust the milage though. The key fob was worn, and the preset stations suggested youth. Not to mention the saved phone's names (e.g. ginger top's phone) and the fact that he said it was turned in for a big Ram with a Cummins diesel. People that age don't have cars like that that sit. Now, maybe the kid bought it in the dry months and realized it doesn't work in MI winters. Who knows?

I'd consider it, but maybe for 36-37K. No way I'd pay 43K for it.

Also, not sure I'd like the convertible. Though I like convertibles, I don't feel that's the car for it. On the fence on that.

Good observations there. Low, low miles is not a reliable indicator. My '18 PP1 had under 6K miles when I bought it last year. North Carolina car, but it had sat outside. THAT created some paint issues! I am happy with what I paid for it, and the paint is fixed, so...
I had one convertible in my lifetime. And I was cured.

That doesn’t concern me as much. Seems to be a nice weather only car based on the mileage. Consider too that the 2022 sale was at the height of values coming out of Covid. The seller probably made a good buck on it. A lot of people traded out in 2022 to capitalize on values and “upgrade” to something else.

that "may" be the case, but I don't operate under speculation, especially not with a $40k investment / purchase. I would not buy this car.

Fair enough. I personally wouldn’t let it stop me, as long as it checks out mechanically. But we all have different feelings on it. Some of the things OP mentioned from his test drive (the phone name, the fob condition) would give me more pause than the # of owners.

The performance pack with magnaride is the way to go

Ditch the boat anchor wheels and you will it even more.

Was a really nice difference when I did.
