Default RE: FINALLY! Saw a Challenger in B'ham, AL (at the dealer though)


ORIGINAL: WhiteHeat


You must have gone to the Bessemer Dodge dealership. I spotted those two in their online inventory and I debated making the trip out there to see them. I saw an SE at Benchmark a couple of weeks ago and I sat in an SRT at Roebuck Dodge (or Greater Birmingham, or whatever they're calling it these days) last week. I still haven't seen an R/T in person, which is a shame since that's what I'm going to buy.

Did they have markup on them? Both of the dealerships I went to had markup. There was a $2000 "market adjustment" on the SEs, but apparently they sold anyway. Challengers have been pretty rare in Birmingham so far. At this rate it may be the annual BJCC car show in November before I get to sit in an R/T. That's OK because maybe by then I'll be able to order a "Classic" and that's what I really want anyway.

One more thing. Did you ask them why one of them had an engine block heater? In Alabama?


Yep, went to the Bessmer dealer. I went there on a Sunday, coming back from the Bama game. So I didn't get to see the cars up close (they where in the showroom), just had my face pressed up to the glass like a kid looking into a candy shop! I've went to the Dodge dealer in downtown B'ham and in Pelham but they didn't have any.

If you don't know by now bout the block heater.... it gets freaking cold down here!

Depending on funds now, the R/T Classic might be my choice over the SRT. One word: wife.

Have they came out with pricing on the "Classic" mod?
