Hello out there in cyberspace. I ordered an 09, Classic R/T in January of this year and still the car has not left BX status at the factory. Since spring is here and warmth is in the air, I am chomping at the bit to drive down the road in a new 6 speed. Has anyone else out there been waiting a long time as well for the new Classic Heritage edition of this vehicle ?
I am just worried that since Chrysler is in financial straits that maybe they might not build these puppies. or the dealer may get a lower allocation and sell mine form under me for more money. Am I being too paranoid ?

 

Called the dealer where I ordered a B5 Blue Classic R/T back on 2/26/09 on Friday and they said that has a build date and that it is scheduled to be at the dealer the 3rd week of April. Can't wait.

 

Cool. My salesman is off till Wednesday. I will let you know about mine then. What options did you order it with ?

 

Just got the B5 Blue Classic with auto and sound group. Don't like sun roofs. Had a '04 Dodge Stratus with a sun roof and only opended maybe 6 times in the 5 years of owning it. Most of that was when I was waxing the car.

On a sidenote I was going to trade in my Stratus with only 39,000 miles on it, looked new yet, and they only offered me $5,300. I kinda laughed at them. Sold it it on my own and got $8,000 which is right at NADA/Blue book.

 

Smart move!!!
Never do a trade in....you'll get screwed "MOST" every time.
the salesman will jockey those numbers around so much that before you know it you really have no idea what the car is really costing you.

 

Post pix of the B5 Blue Please!

 

This is all I have found for a real B5 Blue Classic R/T. The original caption claimed that it is the first one off the assembly line. I can't wait for mine to come.

 

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Thanks for posting.

 

I was told they are being built now, the B5 blue ones, and mine is scheduled to be shipped. 4/28/09. I ordered a 6 Speed with all options except the high intensity headlights. I hate when they are coming at me at night, very annoying to say the least. I don't want to be a jerk and blind others as well.
I ordered the sun roof, even though I do not use the one in my Jeep much at all, but I thought that would possibly be a rare option as the years roll by. Let me know when you get yours, would love to hear how you like it.

 

Let me get this straight. The Challenger Classic package is basically new colors and stripes right ?
