Back in 2005 Dodge used cars like the Magnum became a very big hit with the North American public. That was the year that Dodge’s parent company Chrysler decided to add a model to there existing fleet of vehicles, which had rear wheel drive. The Dodge Magnum believe it or not has a very sporty NASCAR look to it, and you can notice the characteristics from the Dodge Charger in it. From all accounts this is not your normal station wagon, and you would know that if you’re driving the V8 package. So that said, my research is on the Dodge Magnum from the years 2005 to 2007 and to see what this vehicle would be like as a used car.
Dodge Magnum used cars:
I actually I looked at the 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T and I can honestly say this is the best looking station wagon I’ve ever seen. The Magnum’s interior looks very much like the 300 and the Charger. For a station wagon, its interior has a stock car look to it, it had very nice comfortable leather seats and the speedometer/engine gauges are easy to read. The center console is easy to use and the magnum comes standard with power steering, AM/FM radio, ABS brakes, heating/air and CD player.
I found several different fuel statistics for the various engine sizes that the Dodge Magnum has to offer. The V6 has a fuel rating of 11.4-litre, per 100km, for city driving and 7.7-litre, per 100km, for highway driving. The V6, 3.5-litre has a fuel rating of 12.2-litre, per 100km, for city driving and 8.1-litre, per 100km, for highway driving. Their best model, the SRT8 (6.1-litre) has a fuel rating of 16.5-litre, per 100km, for city driving and 10.9-litre, per 100km, for highway driving.
There are different engine sizes for the different models the Dodge Magnum has to offer. The base package is the SE and that comes with a V6, 2.7-litre engine, which has 190 horsepower. The SXT has a V6, 3.5-litre engine, which has 250 horsepower. The V8, 5.7-litre Hemi engine, has 340 horsepower under the hood. Their best model, the Magnum SRT8 has a V8, 6.1-litre engine, and that has 425 horsepower.
Let’s look at the pros and cons of the Dodge Magnum as a used vehicle:
1- There is problem with a loud noise coming from the cooling fan.
2- There are problems with transmission fluid leaking sometimes.
3- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it a five star rating on a frontal crash test done to it.
I hope this helps if you’re thinking of buying a used Dodge Magnum.
