My reply for what its worth and that ain't much, LOL ....here goes and as all or most of you know I really had a hard time getting ANY Challenger and tried VERY hard for over a year and finally got a 2009 R/T which I was able to order the way I wanted it. I had to pay full MSRP but not a penny more and I only did that because no.1 I really wanted this car and No. 2 as I see it I'm not sure how long they will build thses cars,( I hope 3 or 4 Yrs at least) . In any case untill I got it in my hands I was really afraid I was not going to get one. Now,saying all that,I can only say what I would do if in your case. First if you REALLY want this particular car then go find one,as close to what you want in it,that sitting at some dealer's lot now and if you have the money and/or financing buy it now!! If your not able to do that right now but can 6 months from now then go immediately to different dealers and really argue hard for a discounted price to order exactly what you want. I say that because they are discounting a 2008SRT8 in Hemi Orange at Sansone Dodge in Neptune NJ , they are offering discounts on Challengers at Lucas Dodge in Milleville NJ and several other dealers in southern NJ including Mikes Famous Dodge and Sport Hyndia/ Dodge near Atlantic city. But you must make your own mind up like many others have posted on here.
I can promise and guarantee one thing though, If you do end up with a Challenger you will be VERY HAPPY and have a BIG GRIN every time you drive it as we all can attest to. I can't nail one real reason why that is as there are too many to list . Even my wife who is a cheap ole broad and thinks I'm crazy and cars are just to get from point A to point B in now gets and has a smile on her face every time she rides in my 2009 R/T.
Good luck in which ever way you go, Fat Cat[sm=gears.gif]

I've been saving the pennies for a few years now withthe plan of ordering a car around Feb or March, for a spring delivery. Now with the possible merger stuff, members cars "getting lost", worrying about disgruntled factory workers not caring about quailty if they know the plants will close (not to place blame, or start rumors), etc etc etc. I found a few cars CLOSE to what I would have ordered, nothing on them more than what I want, but several things less. IS it worth waiting until the time frame, and ordering, or snatching up what is there. I don't have all the ducks in a row yet, so I can;t go out and buy it tomorrow, and I know inventory can change, but I'm totally stuck with what to do.. HELP
