How Much is Too Much?
I plan to buy my Challenger in 2009 after all of the excitement dies down a bit. By that time, it may be possible to bargain with dealers and have a wider variety of options.
However, I was wondering what is the "breaking point" for you guys planning on buying the Challenger next Spring? I expect that all of the dealers, at a minimum, will ask for MSRP. Most will also tack on "market ajustments" in the thousands. [:@]
The question is how much is too much? A $5,000 adjustment? $10,000?
$15,000?? What will make you say NO and wait until 2009?

Top of the line 6.1 or 6.4 and a six-speed. $45-46 000. And if it is higher, then the money will go to put a 6.4 + 6-speed in my 71. So the balls in Dodges court.

Not one cent over MSRP. Besides, if you wait a few months, they'll knock $5,000 or $6,000 off the price -- and I don't think it will be very long before that happens. Everyone should keep in mind that on this board, it looks like there are a LOT of people who want a Challenger. In reality, it's not going to be that big a seller. Although I personally would never want a four-door car, I think most people these days do. And most people who want some kind of "sporty" two-door car aren't about to pay even $30,000 for one -- not when a Mustang can be had for under $18,000. I seriously doubt the sales of the new Challenger approach that of the 1970 model. Maybe like the figures for 1974.

RE: How Much is Too Much?
I personally have never paid even close to MSRP, let alone over it. As excited as I am about this car, another 6-8 months isn't going to kill me. Not to mention the general thought that the 1st production run of a new model has a tendency to be problem prone. I would just as soon wait a year until I can get EXACTLY what I want and for a reasonable price.
Here's a question though... do you think Dodge will allow custom orders??
I had an M3 built to my exact Specs a couple of years ago, granted BMW and Dodge have very little in common, but I was just wondering if anyone knew if there might be the possibility to have on built to your sepcs down the road.
Anyone have any good info on that??

I think that in year two (2009) you should probably be able to order a Challenger with your options. A friend of mine was able to custom order a 2007 Charger SRT because he did not want it loaded with expensive items such as kicker stereo, navigational system, dual A/C control, sunroof, etc. These options tack on over $6,000 (and make dealers very happy).
