RE: Virtues of Waiting for '09 or Later
Here is my take on waiting or buying now. I have one on order at msrp.
- I own a car now and it is worth 25,000 currently, 1 yr from now it will be worth approx 21,000 maybe. i know the chally will depreciate also but if it is a long term car it wont matter. A yr from now i will for sure pay at least 4000 more than now.
- If a lot of changes are made to the 09 engine then the 09 will have the kinks to work out more than the 08. 08 is a proven drivetrain.
- Wow factor is big in 08, not so much in 09 (low priority for me)
- It will more than likely be 2011 before a significant upgrade to the chally will take place.
- Congress passed 35mpg law yesterday so that is going to put at least a slight damper on the muscle car war somewhere down the road
- i'm not very patient
