What do you mean go up??? Dodge already has high prices on there cars in my opinion. A bone stock Charger v-6 for $25, 000???
The lease ruined it for all of us. The monthly payment is low but the stickers are going up and up!
It is all about money. Nothing else matters to these executives but money!
Alright lets analyze the Charger for a minuet. First of all, a bone stock Charger V6 is around 22,500-23,000, not $25,000. Quit rounding up by a couple thousand. Secondly, the closest thing to the current Charger that Ford produces is the Crown Victoria, and unlike the Charger the bone stock Crown Victoria is $25,310 although it has a V8 standard, the hp output is 26hp less than the Charger V6 and the torque is 25 ft-lbs more despite a 1.1L larger displacement due to it only having a two valve head. The Charger also has a 5-speed automatic which the Crown Vic lacks.
You shouldn't compare this Charger to the Mustang. In fact, you shouldn't compare the original Charger to the original Mustang. The original Charger competed with the Ford Torino.
I hate to break it to you but the purpose of business IS to make a profit. There is no other purpose for a profit organization. There is a solution to your problem if you can't afford what you want. Work at making more money.
