RE: POLL: First on the Block, or Wait for a Good Price
I would wait at least 3 years to buy a 2008 model. I have a 2002 Chrysler Sebring LX Hardtop coupe that I'll be making payments on until at least 2010. I know the Challenger's base price is just above 40K USD. I have a feeling with subsequent model years the base price will go down some due to want of more buyers. By the time I trade my Sebring in the trade value will be no more than 2500 dollars. And I expect the Challenger will have a minimal depreciation rate which means that price used will be right around price new if not higher. I just wonder why it's so high in cost. 40k is just a little too much. If it were 30K or 35K I'd see more buyers. I hope with the existing base price dodge knows what they're doing.
