    The car is a 2016 Challenger SXT Plus located in Connecticut 150 miles North of me. Only 30k miles on it. I also thought the same thing about the rust and was a bit put off by it especially since it's at a Dodge dealer and is Certified.

    Certified means nothing unless it's a written warranty that you thoroughly and carefully read and understand before you hand over any money.

    How much does the dealer want for the car?

    The dealer wants $20395 for it. Includes a 3 month 3k max care warranty.

    One other thing that bothered me was it had aftermarket drilled front rotors. Of course the car could have been driven hard or the rotors kept warping which happens but 30k miles is not that much.

    FYI I looked it over on a Sunday so I wouldn't be bothered by any salespeople.

    Last July my 2020 SXT (not Plus) brand new cost 23,633 (before tax, license, fees) with no miles on it and included the black top option (20 inch wheels, black accents). Not the decals. I got them after.

    The low mileage is attractive but it's still a 5 year old car with rust starting to develop underneath.

    Have you checked the date code on the tires. If they are the original tires you'll need to budget for a new set probably within a year.

    I dunno. If it was me, and everything checked out, I'd offer $18,000. I never pay asking price. If you want a bargain at a dealer you have to be willing to walk out the door and I mean, stand up and walk. That's when they deal. I've had dealers chase me down in the parking lot and offer a lower price.

    I bet the dealer got it for $15,000. ;)
