I've been on the waitng list for about a year now. I will pay what the dealer will sell it for, gladly. I got my 300CSRT-8 in August of '05 and paid MSRP + 3k gladly. At the same time dealers here were asking and getting 15 - 20k over MSRP. It's simple supply and demand.

I'm number 1 on the list at the #3 Dodge store in the world. So yes, I will be getting one of the first ones, and yes, I will pay for more for the luxury of getting mine early. That's just the way business works. It is not gouging, it is just business.

While I would love to select color, motor, options etc, I am gonna take the first one they get. I can always add more power if it only has a 6.1!!!
