I just ordered a 09 R/T in Hemi Orange, 5.7 hemi, auto trans, 20"chrome clad wheels, customer perferred pkg "J " , Electronics Convenience Group, performance tires,spare tire, R/T hood to fender stripe, Dark / Light slate greay leather seats.Now all this for MSRP of $35,025 and the dealer said he might be able to discopunt that $300 to $500 but I honestly doubt that. In any case I think thats pretty well loaded close to a SRT8 ...no My Gig, no Sirius, no Sound group I or II, no HID, and no block heater.Thats " IF " i get that is with all the problems I've read on this forum I have my doubts.[sm=headbang.gif][sm=dontgetit.gif] But come late Aug or Sept sometime I'll be happy to drive it off the dealers lot you can bet !!!!!!!!!!!!!![sm=gears.gif]
I am not sure you should be so happy. A 2008 SRT with more options and, let us not forget, a much more powerful engine is only about $2,000 more. Figure in the 6.1L engine and the options you are missing and the 08 is a much better deal. I will admit, there are a few people paying ridiculous pricing for the 08s, but if you look through this forum, I would say most are getting just as good a deal, if not better, than the 09 buyers.
Good luck to all on your orders and may we see them soon,
Dave
