You can buy a dirtier car with Polo money

Autovisie is always looking for used cars for enthusiasts and therefore searches the listings of the sales website Gaspedal.nl. This time we found a used car for someone who doesn’t like to downsize and isn’t afraid to fill up every now and then: Dodge Ram 1500 8.3 V10 for Volkswagen Polo money.
It really isn’t a financially wise choice to buy a fat American instead of a Polo. For example, road tax and fuel consumption are higher in the case of Dodge. However, such a ten-cylinder is good!

Dodge Ram 1500 V10 for Volkswagen Polo money

Volkswagen Polo has a starting price of, don’t worry, 25,890 euros. For this money you get a 1.0-liter MPI engine that’s good for 80 hp, or you buy a used car with a big V10.

The Dodge Ram 1500 we get has a lot more power, 506 hp to be exact. The power source is an 8.3 liter V10. The oil regulator should drag 2,624 lbs. The Colossus sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds.

The car used to pollute the most

An English study by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) immediately concluded that the Dodge Ram SRT-10 was the dirtiest car on the market. The Colossus spews 488 grams of CO2 into the air every kilometer. Next ETA, four square kilometers of forest (more than 320 mature trees) are needed to absorb the annual emissions from a used car.

Not good for the environment, this event. However, you can (still) take it on the road. To prevent you from going completely bankrupt on fuel costs, an LPG tank is installed in a used car. This also makes it less polluting. The car now has 154,000 miles on it. The price tag is 24.800 euros, about 100 euros less than the Volkswagen Polo. Although excluding VAT.
