A USA today story tells us who Steven Wolf is, by the way:

"My daughter will be 16 pretty soon. She wants an SUV. I think the Durango is just a little too big for her. What else do I have in my product lineup here that I could sell her? Nothing," says Steven Wolf, general manager of Helfman Dodge in Houston. "This new sport-utility will give me a whole new segment of buyers that I don't have access to."

Not sure I like this forum being turned into an advertising venue for Dodge Dealers. What say, moderators?
Not all the dealers here are trying to sell something. If I were, I'd post about it in the "Challengers for sale" forum. I'm not going to try and sell a car I don't have a VIN for anyways.

No, Anthony, I wouldn't hold just being a dealer against you. I just don't like the idea of a dealer joining the board and right off the bat is pushing his product. There is all kinds of advertising space around the edge of the board that can be purchased if you have a product to sell.

It also wouldn't be as bad if he actually had a product tied to what he was trying to sell. If he already has sold several, I can guarantee, he doesn't have any more 2008's left to sell. We're one of the largest Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealers in the US (over 1500 new units in stock), and we only have 1 VIN alotted to us right now. We're hoping to get 3 2008's but we only have 1 for sure.

I'm certainly NOT a Moderator here, however I am a 440 Member and I want to say on Anthony's behalf that I have always found his commentary to be informative, timely and for lack of a better term "non-salesy". I think a dealer Rep who appears to love this rig as much as we all do can certainly add some value to the quality of our discussion(s).

Post away, Chief...this is still the United States of America!

Happens to be right........
How can many Dodge dealers say they are allocated anywhere from 8-30 cars?????
To me many will get one to sell from the lot,and many bigger dealers will get a few more to sell.......
But whatever you see on a dealers lot,you will be paying alot more then you think....JT

I don't anticipate you being able to walk up to a lot and find a Challenger for sale, at least in 2008. Once the '09 models come out, you should start seeing them on lots.

Hey what's up with you guys not having Chargers?
We've sold out of our 2007 Chargers and have not gotten 2008's in yet.

We do have a sweet 2007 SRT-8 Charger though, and we just sold a Super Bee on Ebay.

We can also dealer trade them without a problem most of the time if someone wants one. Only downside is we can't price them as low as we can an on lot unit because we don't get the holdback. The dealership the car came from does.

EDIT: I talked to our ordering manager, and he said that they're up on the block to be ordered. Then you could get exactly what you want and we'd still be able to get you a good price.
