You will NEVER see a rebate on an '08 Challenger, period. Most of the Challengers will list for $41,985 with an invoice price of $39,562 and a holdback of $1,239. If they ever sold one at an employee price, it would go for $38,237. These numbers are directly off the order sheet the dealer provided with my order. If this were a normal car and the dealer really wanted to get rid of it, you might be able to get the car at invoice less a percentage of the holdback. But this is not a normal car and these discount scenarios will not be available to the typical buye
Never say never. Economy goes into the tank, inflation hits high and fuel prices go way high and chrysler is trying to sell a tiger tank thirsty engine to folks who don't want a car that gets low gas milage. Sound far fetched, this occurred in the 70's and my dad bought a New york Chrysler with a 440 engine for only 750 dollars. The car was only a year old when he bought it. We could have future fuel shortages as occurred in the 70's.
If you fail to study history you are doomed to repeat it.
If the things you suggest happen - and I don't think they're as far-fetched as you say - then we may very well see rebates on Challengers someday. But the original statement was "You will NEVER see a rebate on an
'08 Challenger, period." If there's to be a rebate on the '08 your scenario better happen really fast. Fast enough for a lot of people to cancel their orders.
History may repeat itself, but it won't be retroactive.
