You know, all of this excitement and disapointment is exactly why Dodge doesn't give out a lot of details on production and delivery dates. I mean they are doing pretty good at getting theses things out within the general terms of the timeline that they targeted in the original announcement. My Challenger is one of an "allotment" (4 of 7) and the dealer doesn't assign individual cars until they have them in hand. Originally I envied those with order numbers and eventually VINs, but now I am glad that I don't have to track the number every hour on the hour and worry and get upset when anything doesn't go just like I planned. A one week delay to get body panels right sounds like a good thing. I will wait a few weeks and enjoy.
What I don't like is the folks who get a pretty good deal at their dealer and sell their car on Greed-bay ( I just heard the term today and I think it fits) even befoer they have it. They get a dealer to sell at only 3k over MSRP and the want 10 to 15k more on Ebay. One such greedy sucker tried to close tonight but had his reserve over the highest bidder at about 52k. Too bad for him, didn't make the sale. These cars should go to good folks who just want a cool car. Although I have to admit I agreed to pay well over MSRP.
