That's what they're averaging for across the US. We're asking $20k for the two remaining we're getting. The one we sold has been paid for in cash and was $25k over.
Keep in mind though, this is just for the limited production run of the SRT-8's that are going to be numbered. In 2009 when more models come out, prices will significantly drop.
Right now, across the US, there have been over 6000 pre-sales taken, but they are only making a run of 5000. Do the math. There aren't enough Challengers for all the buyers in 2008. My dealership just hasn't started doing pre-sales until this past week. We wanted to wait until official pricing was released and we found out how many for sure we're getting. We're getting two orange and one black, all 3 fully loaded, so its like a $41,980 MSRP.
A lot of dealerships have sold more than their alotted number of Challengers. That will cause for some upset customers when they find out they aren't getting their limited edition SRT-8 they were hoping for.
The first run is being aimed more as a collectors car.
It all depends on the demand for the car. We sell Fords too, and the Shelby GT500's go for 10-15k over sticker, Bullitt Mustangs are going for just full MSRP, and the GT500KR we're getting in has already had a deposit put down on it for 100k over sticker. It was something rediculous like $195k otd.

Anyone need any fertilizer? This guy's selling it in 4000lb loads at $61K per.
It'd be humorous if he even had his facts straight. But like those that have come here before him, he THINKS he can dance around them.
Facts are;
Dodge hasn't publicly committed to a specific production number of 2008 Challenger SRT8s other than to say "less than 10,000".
Dodge employees have stated "Each dealership will get ONE 2008 Challenger SRT8"....but he's getting 3 (at MSRP + $20K" each).
He's asking $20K over MSRP for the 2nd and 3rd Challengers he's getting - (first one was paid in full already at MSRP +$25K) meaning
he doesn't have anyone knocking his door down to be taken advantage of, so he's soliciting sales here. ANY TAKERS?
6000 orders were recorded within the first week Dodge was accepting orders on the limited edition / numbered dash plaque 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8's, ......and his dealership didn't order any until last week - because they wanted to wait for "official pricing to be released" - which also happened on December 3rd, 2007 -
BUT they're getting three, even though they obviously have at least 6000 orders being filled before theirs.
This guy joined the forum today, and has four posts already - aimed at selling Challengers (at MSRP+$20K)

Go stand in the corner next to
dodgesales and hang your head in shame - if you have any. Then check Edmunds.com for the real numbers.
