I'd like to, but I have truck payments to deal with for awhile. Besides, waiting may get me into a new Challenger cheaper, then again, I said that about the Hemi Charger-300-Magnum!!

The Dodge website says starting at MSRP $40,095. Of course that is for the Limeted Edition SRT8 that is supposed to be the only version for 2008.

I dont know why it would say that, and they say this too, it even included the destination charge, and it is the srt8. Sounds like a couple month run will be first as 08's, then they will become 09's after that.

They can't keep their stories straight, so it doesn't surprise me.
Initially they stated that they wouldn't release pricing, release dates, or begin taking orders until after the announcement at the NAIAS in April. Heck the website is still using the prototype. Knowing what they did with the Charger, there's no why they could get me to reserve/order one without seeing what it was really going to look like. On a side note. Don't expect the pre-order price to be anywhere near MSRP. I imagine that they will be a minimum of $5,000 over, if not $10,000 over MSRP. |

I thought if you preorder something, they cant mark it up. I remember reading that when the srt10 trucks came out.

LOL... You're still buying from the dealership, not the manufacturer. They can put limitations on markup, however, it doesn't look like they did. At least not based on the information on the Dodge website.

Here are the two different prices from the same website...
The Official Challenger page - $40,095 The Press release - $37,995 |

The $37,995 price is for the car and freight only. Uncle Sam then adds $2100 gas guzzler fee, bringing the true total to $40,095. By the way these vehicles will have 2009 vin numbers.

Thats what happened to me a couple years ago when I was going to buy a new PT for the wife, hidden costs started popping up all over, I was so mad I went and bought the civic we have now. I paid less then the price it was advertised for, and got some stuff thrown in, they were willing to deal, all I got at the Dodge dealership was 2000 dollars of add on hidden costs.
Seems the same thing here. |

I see over 6000 people have preordered the 08 Challenger. I see it has a flip top gas lid, that is pretty cool and the grille is a little diferent, but I like it better, that is all I have seen so far, but so far I like.
To bad my wife wants four wheel drive. No challenger for me. |

I'd like to have a new Challenger, but I'm probably going to have to wait till the Diesel is paid off in 2011, though if I pay it off early, I may be able to deal sooner. Of course, I could probably by then just score a used Hemi 300-Charger-Magnum and run the snot out of that instead. |

I guess the sad thing is whenever any new model comes out with any kind of buzz going on, there'll always be a few to pay a premium to be the "first".
It happened with the PT, the new Mustang, now the new Challenger and I'm sure people will be throwing hard money to be the first with a new Crapmaro with Angry Shaver Transformer styling as well. Then the attention shifts somewhere else and they're stuck with a used car they paid a premium for, some things never change. |

That's not the only ad. The day before they were released, I saw a few dealership that bidding had taken to $15K over.
The article is just to reinforce what I already stated about pre-orders costing more than MSRP. The article went after the easy targets (ebay ads). Go to your dealership and try to order one and see what the markup is. Depending on the dealer, they will add on anywhere from $5K - $15K. |

That same thing happens at Barret Jackson, people have money burning a hole, and want to be on tv, they buy an overpriced, over hyped car, then 6 months later you see it sold for half, sometimes a 1/4 what they paid at Barret Jackson. That isnt even figuring in all the commission and crap they get at BJ. Then people think that those cars are worth that much, when in reality they arent.
Oh well, good ol BJ is just around the corner, maybe a New Challenger will be sold there. Cant wait to see what it sells for. Good thing, Chyrsler lost $2 billion this year. Oh wait, they wont get that money, the stealerships will. |
