If you are going to buy one and can't be persuaded in a different direction then those 2 models are your best bet. They used higher quality parts in my opinion and hold up better. Honestly any car new or used can be a total lemon. You are just going to have to do your homework. I have an 06 Magnum sxt and motor and trans wise it's been beautiful (knock on wood) I have had electrical issues, braking issues and suspension issues. In fact, had a new issue pop up last week but I won't lay that on you. When you find the car you want take it to your own independent mechanic and an alignment shop to be checked out. Don't use the sellers and don't use a dealership, again in my opinion. I wish you the best of luck.
