RE: Who has a 2008 Challenger on order?
Assuming production did not start until this week I am not surprised at all that cars are not shipping out today or at all this week. Usually with a new model they do a lot hold. Meaning that they build up however many and they sit on the lot. They continue to build more and if they find an issue they can then send people out on the lot to fix all the cars that have been built. This saves the company money because they don’t get charged by the dealers for fixing these issues. I also think the reason we keep seeing the changing status’s is because of this lot hold issue. I would guess that they make a few, find an issue, stop production of that car, fix the issue and start again. Once they get all the bugs out then they will release the lot and then they will ship all the cars out. Now I don’t know if that is what is happening but I know that they do that with almost every new model… Just my .02…
