"Currently smaller engined vehivles are selling very quickly, and anything with a bigger engine is like a lead balloon. Most of what we are currently stocking is cars that are fuel efficient. With petrol prices expected to reach $2.50 per litre here, anything with a 6 or 8 cylinder engine, or 3000cc and above is very hard to sell.
The Challenger your looking at is a big car for the family, but not economical, and they are based on the original Challenger chassis of 1995, so an old model. They are not so popular as they are an old model now, and very expensive to run. Resale would be terrible.
My suggestion would be to consider a smaller engined alternative. Half the running costs, and good resale."
Thanks reptile forum car enthusiasts
Seems Plausible enough mate from the explanation... as many people are swapping big engines for smaller ones.. A mate of mine has just done that recently from a V6 4WD for the family to a smaller 4 cylinder wagon.. Whether or not he's yanking your chain well.. I don't know? Is the one he's recomending more expensive? Being a reptile enthusiast I think you would get more use out of the 4WD but it would be more expensive to run.. you could always switch it to duel fuel as well.
