I lucked out when my wife and I stopped by the local Dodge dealer back in ’08 to look (and only look) at the new Challenger. I had heard all the stories about dealers not letting people test drive Challengers before buying and thought…I would never buy any new car without being able to test drive it first. Anyway, while looking at one of the Challengers, the salesman asked if we wanted to “take it out” on a drive….I thought he was kidding, but he explained that they just happened to have a Chrysler owned demo on the lot that day and that we could take for a drive. We took it out and all the salesman kept saying was don’t wreck it as it’s not ours….but “open it up and see what it will do!”…..It turned out they had not even driven one and wanted to see what it would do.
That test drive sold my wife on the Challenger, and today we have a Challenger SRT8 parked in our garage….Best Dodge I have ever owned….
