The best advice I've received is to wait it out one year after the initial launch. By then, all the madness will have started to die down and you will be more apt to get your Challenger at MSRP or below.
I do have a question though - how long would it take (roughly) from the time you order one at the dealership until you physically take delivery? Anyone care to gaze into their crystal ball and help The Beener out here?
Production of 09s is supposed to begin after the two week July plant break. What I understand is the R/Ts are supposed to be built first (late July) then the SRT8s (probably beginning the first or second week of September)
So my guess is
if you order an SRT8 or R/T tomorrow youd be waiting between three and four and a half months to get your car.
