RE: Did You Negotiate Your Challeneger Price?
I had to play off three dealers against oneanother and even put Ebay into the mix to make my deal. I stuck to my guns and got them to bring it down to sticker. I think with the advertised milage, the gas prices up and the economy doing so bad with loans....not a lot of people looking can buy at the "Market Value" ($18,000 over in Houston TX) they are looking at. My Credit flat out rejected one deal from one of these dealers at $54.000 and they advised a counter offer of $45,000 on a sticker of $41,000 fully loaded. I actually got it below the Credit 's counter offer at another dealer and they jumped all over the financing with my down payment.
As a side note I took a trip in it the first week and netted 20 mpg on the highway. No mods to it yet and cruising with the cruise control on at 79 mph on a 550 mile round trip.
