Still incredible value for money if you can find a good one.......
Some snuck in late 05- early 06 which miss it - mine does. I'd have gone for the V8 but as above early hemis could drop valves when heated and the cylinder deactivation can be slightly trickier for gas installers - not much though. The above dragged the value of the V6 down (it does have a cambelt also but a real dream to change) and is a design going back to late 80s so for the money I couldn't refuse so don't let that detract. One thing - Chrysler seem to send out numerous ECU updates so you will realistically need to find a dealer (alongside the takata recall replacements).

Mine desperately needed the software update as it would shudder at a specific temperature for a split second during warm up 3.5 specific issue.
