Default RE: Forget about your ORDERED Challenger


ORIGINAL: Johnnytuinals

That sounds very fair.........
I am taking about DEALER Stock allocation and not Ordered Allocation from a customer.....
I thought Dodge had a Idea what a dealer would get in as Stock to sell to his customers before the order forms
were being taken????
So if I am right each dealer will get 1 Challenger to sell and maybe a few bigger dealers will have more to sell and it leave people that ordered the Challenger with little chance to even get one????
But lets put it this way
Lets say if Dodge makes 7,000 2008 Challengers and 8,000 people ordered one.
That means 1,000 will not see that car and also the dealer will not have any to sell in stock because all the
2008 challengers were already pre sold???
It does not make much sense to me,,,maybe others it will make better sense?
But I think the dealers will have most of the 2008 Challengers to sell as Stock items......
And as for us,hope many get lucky,but I am not going to pay above MSRP for a car on a lot...........JT
As I understand it, each dealer gets a specific number of cars "allocated" to them and each car they sell must have a name and address attached to the order. This is supposed to keep dealers from ordering the cars and selling them on the lot. Now we all know some dealers will use fictitious names, but that's how it's supposed to work. So if the dealer has allocation, Dodge ok's the order and you get a build number, you should get the car. I don't think dealers will have many to sell unless someone backs out of an order when it is delivered.
