    I am getting rid of my beloved Volvo 850R Wagon daily driver soon. I've been all over the map on what to replace it with...but three options are the SRT 8's.

    I would like to hear from advocates and detractors of each of the SRT 8 family.

    I am wondering about any know persistent problems; any defects that have seemed to be pervasive; and any must have options...

    I will probably have my dealer friend pick whatever I decide on up at an auction. I will get something with at least 10k of warranty left so I can address any problems via the dealer then work other things out myself. I do not intend on modification...that would detract me from my other passion...my SRT 10.

    Have at me...give me an education, opinions and fact will both be accepted with appreciation.

    Thanks for you time and help...

    Since you have the SRT10 I would get the 300 SRT, you then will have beauty and the beast in the garage. Yeah I know I should say the Jeep but he has a truck so go for luxury now with balls.

    considering he has a volvo wagon as the DD, i would opt to say the jeep. you will enjoy similar conviences as you had with the wagon. speaking of wagon..... why not put the magnum on the list as well???? if i had to get a DD for everyday, i would love to have a maggie.

    Yep, 08 is the last year and I'm sure you can find one still. Plus I bet you can find some low mileage 07s or even 06s out there too. LOVE mine so that's what I'd suggest!! :thumb2:
