Buy a used Challenger from a Ford dealer if they refuse to make it in the color we want. We have to stand up against them and refuse to buy brand new products from Dodge until they listen to us. I am tired of being treated like garbage. The grabber blue mustang is looking better and better. Better gas mileage and faster with less horsepower and you can get a rebate on them. I am a fourth generation mopar man, but it looks like even the most loyal mopar fans are jumping ship with the present administration running Chrysler. There is a reason why Chrysler sales are now the worst in the industry. No one listens and no one cares at Auburn Hills! carsales101, you got that right.

Period, end of story. After market challengers don't count, since they are way over sticker due to mods.... Key point here is want versus need. Few people need an SRT8 model, which I assume is the model in question. Regardless of color, the SRT8 from Dodge is not worth 20 grand over invoice. Sorry, not buying it. PCPs are showing up on the lots, so they are not exclusive. Even the FF SRT8 is not worth 20 grand over invoice with a limited production run. In this price range you might as well get a used viper. I love the car, but you won't see me loving it for 60 grand. Anyone who would pay 20 grand over sticker for a challenger offered via dodge is a fool. Period, end of story.

We had an addendum of 3,000 above MSRP and a customer said to me and i quote "that all you want over sticker, everyone else is trying to get 10,000" needless to say he was happily spotted at 3k above MSRP and as he left he told me he couldnt be happier! not to say i wouldnt have sold him the car for less but you cant get what you dont ask for>>>>>>i work for a dealer who guarantees a better price than any of my competitors! hmmmmm, its funny to see all of the comments that people leave on these things…….the ones who said they dont mind paying for service that is woth the money are on to something. i agree 100% you are looking for trust in a salesperson! i have sold challengers for as much as 20,000 over sticker and as much as 3500 off msrp. it is typical supply and demand you walk in for a black challenger you can most likely negotiate a great deal, come in looking for the PCP and because there are so few of them dealers may ask for more than msrp! no to be rude but that is the right of a dealer to “ask” more for something as the “MSRP” is only the suggested retail price.

I looked for some pics of the original Challengers, and also noticed the wood grain around the gauges, shifter, and inside door handles. I think it would be cool to add wood grain accents to the same areas in my car... when I get it. I would probably get a color that went well with the exterior color as well.

People should be able to choose a black or white interior. Gray is an old school 1980s interior color. You need some contrast as well, like wood grain in the dash and console or at least some other type of material. A monotone hard plastic interior just looks cheap!

Has everything on it, should be on the rail by Feb 9th 2010 on its way to Missouri. The dealership is as excited as I am. Way to go Dodge, wish I had the option for white interior.

While I was at the dealer, I asked about the challengers, a guy looked at me and said "$20,000 over invoice" , I pretty much gave up on getting a challenger that year. When I ordered my PT in 2000, the delership tried to screw me. They advertised if you pre-ordered a PT they would sell it for $500 over invoice. I put down my $500, and when the car came in, they tried to charge me MSRP. I still had all the ads, plus the guy's business card with the total for the car written on the back. They finally agreed to the original offer, but the kicker was, they never gave me credit for my $500 I put down to order the car, so they had to refund it to me. The best part was when my mom asked if they would take a personal check. The sales man said I would have to ask the finance guy. My mom told him I was paying cash for the car. I still remember the look on the guy's face. That dealership is now a mini mall..... When the 08 challengers came out, my mom was buying a new Caravan.
