Hello everyone, new to the forum. Have been reading for a while.
Just wanted to give my side of a dealer experience that happened tonight.
Finally found a dealer that would take a deposit so went for a little road trip.
Very friendly experience, with the salesman and GM.
Before they took my deposit, the GM says "you do realize there is going to be a markup"
Well I knew there would be to be honest (5K - sound about right?)
GM says - it probably going to be 15-20K.
I wish they had a smiley icon where it blows its brains out here, cause I'd use it.
I'm so dissapointed right now.
He said it was only going to be a one year run like the Shelby GT 500's.
Anyone have any points of view?
Hello everyone..... I like many have my sights on a new Challenger. I have my name on the list at two local dealers. Both at this time have no information on them. Both at this time CANNOT take deposits on them. I specifically asked the one dealer I am most interested in dealing with about how much they plan on marking them up...I was told an "emphatic" NO MARK UP. I will believe it when I see it. I was further told they will price them to sell. I said great. I told him if you are going to screw me like Ford did customers forget it. I was assured, and reassured they would not mark them up.....Time will only tell.
I was also asked if I wanted to put a deposit on one one when the time is right. I said NO... I went through ROYAL HELL with GM when I ordered my GTO. A 3 month wait went to 8.5 months along with a cancellation of my order and a network search turned up one exactly like I ordered..... Long story on this.....I will NOT go through that again. After I picked my car up, people were boasting about better deals than I had gotten and I researched and negotiated an at that time good deal.
I was told I would be able to get a Challenger... I guess time will tell. Until then the wait continues.
