If you can get a used LX that isn't too ragged out - I'd go that route. My 2006 Magnum is an 11 year old car with 216,000 miles on it. I'm currently putting 500-1000 miles a week on it. I will replace it at the end of the year - and thank it for its faithful service. It has been a great car and worth the money. Mine is the SXT with the 3.5. All I have ever done is oil changes and a little normal maintenance on the car.
