Bottomline...if you truly want a new Challenger...the dealers are going to make you pay, as they feel they have a product that's in demand and the customer will be willing to paid their price (whether this is actually the case...only time will tell). The Challenger is the first new car I ever purchased were I didn't pay below the list price...but I knew that going in.....
With all that's happening in the car industry...if you want a really good deal go with a new Charger, or whatever....but if you want a new Challenger you can wait and hope, or just pay the price of admission and enjoy. It's really up to you and what you are willing to pay and what you really want................
