I do think I am gettting a great deal as that is what was shown to me in black and white. They are faxing over the price sheet and when they do I will list everything price wise that is on there.

 

Hi Thor77,

I guess you are right. I too went to my local dealer to discuss the price on an 09. Due to circumstances at the dealer, they agreed on a decent price on the 08 I had "ordered" in December. My pricing posts have been in response to actual prices quoted on this site. They are also in defense of 08 buyers who seem to take a few jabs, from 09 buyers and or waiting to buy, because they indicate that the 08 buyers paid too much. As you stated, I believe most 08 buyers got a fair deal. And, with the unprecedented interest in this car, the 09 buyers that I have seen a getting a good deal also.

It would have to be Bud. Thats actually got to be at his cost.
The $43,535 of mine with tax title inspection and registration will end up being around $46,210 when it's all said and done. Then I get to bring it back to NY, pay the difference on sales tax -another 2% or $870 - reregister retitle and reinspect it - another $120.
Im looking at $47,200 plus gas and tolls to get it from eastern Ohio to eastern NY - another $125.
Good for you! Thats one helluva deal youre getting.

 

Boot Camp new to site (ordered 09 SRT8) but doesn't the msrp price inlude the gas guzzler tax, it does on all other SRT8.

Thanks Steven

 

Not according to the invoice I got from my dealer today. Code 3EJ - Gas Guzzler Tax $1700.
It's different for the automatic - $2100. My guess is that's why its listed seperately.
I wasnt thrilled with that either.

As a matter of fact, my SRT order came in at $44,425. That includes all options except for the sun roof (impractical in Texas), and $1700 gas guzzler tax. But what do I care, I work for an oil company and get all my gas for free.

 

I was told the SE has very little mark up due to its low price a dealer told me he would make less the a 1000 bucks on the car at retail is this correct .



I will have a little over 46000 in my 08 with NAV.Sunroof and Tires

 

DiamDave , yopur math is all wrong !!! Take my MSRP of $35,025 and subtract it from SRT8 msrp of $40,145 and you get $5,120 not $2,000. Lets keep the facts and math straight. FATCAT

 

Believe me, I am not gloating or showing off..just sharing numbers etc. for what I have gotten. I do agree it seems cheaper compared to what is being discussed but as I said I will post all the numbers as soon as the dealer sends the price sheet over to me.

I do think that the $42 is not counting my $1000 so that would make it $43, still a bit lower than prices batted around here but at least a bit more sensible. I should know more tomorrow.

 

Dealer profit on the base SE ($21320 MSRP) is $1352.00 plus 3% holdback ($639.00) = $1991.00

On the SE with the 26G package ($25,115 MSRP) dealer profit is $1576.00 plus 3% holdback ($753.00) = $2329.00

Now add all the options and you could add another $400-$500 of profit.

Bottom line: Dealer will make $2,000-$3,000 profit on a Challenger SE... PLUS any profits on accessories, extended warranty, financing and other dealer add-ons.
