Used Car of the Day: 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8
Today's UCOTD is a hot-rod wagon for a reasonable price.
For just under 6 grand -- $5,900 to be exact -- you can take home this 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8.
The seller claims it's in good condition, even with 155,000 miles on the clock.
He or she says it was never raced, but there is one yellow flag -- the dealer replaced the "bottom half" of the motor after the crank warped. That happened almost 100,000 miles ago at 56K.
Football fans, take note -- the original Monroney apparently says the car was built for ex-NFL wide receiver Santana Moss. We obviously can't verify that, and we're not even sure it matters, but Moss was playing with the Washington NFL franchise during that time and the car is for sale in Virginia.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

In theory I like these vehicles. In practice when driving in one, I felt like I was in a 'submarine' as the greenhouse seemed so low. Perhaps now I might feel different as so many vehicles now have limited visibility and similarly low rooflines?
I always liked the lines and packaging of these but there were 2 major problems.

I think these were cool cars. The fact that they didn't sell well shows that the reminiscing about station wagons was just a long ago fading dream of childhood.
