2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Thought I would let you all know. Ordering for the 09 Challenger's opened today the 12th. Dodge brought back the Hemi Orange color for srt's to help convert those that couldn't get an 08. R/T's and SRT's are all that's available at this time, the only mention of the SE's is that it will be available in a few days. Just thought I would share. Good luck to all!

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I don't see anything listed on Dodge.Com or anywhere else that order opened. I also see no prices. Where did you get this info from?

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I'm a dealer and I have VON's on every one I oredered including a 2009 Hemi Orange SRT with a 6 speed Standard shift. The info was in my dealer email, I switched screens and BOOM ordered away.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

can you give us any pricing on the SRT and R/T's then?

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Prices???? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on this is getting so redundant. Again, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Does anyone in the world know the pricing on an R/T??? Jeez............

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

You are correct, today is the 1st day to order but you do not have VON's on any 2009's. The dealer will not get a VON on this car untill it is a verify'd buildable order and the dealer has allocation for it. And that also takes a minimum of three days for that to happen. There is no pricing released, not even in the dealer system. Your question is how do I know this right? I work for a Dodge dealer and just put in 10 orders, RT's and SRT 8's. We do have one 2008 SRT 8 coming that has been presold for MSRP + $50,000.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Larson, I do in fact have VON's on all My 09's. Check your order sheets at the top right. 219430** and on up. No prices just package choices and stand alone options.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

when will i know how much the R/T will be??? Why can you guy's order the car, but have now earthly idea how much you can sell it for??? Please something to ease my worries. My wheels are spinning here fellas. If I said I want to buy one how much?? And all you can say is I have 10 well that doesn't help either of us......

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I can't believe that we are discussing the ordering of 09's, NO ONE HAS AN 08.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I agree it seems illogical that you could order an 09 but not have pricing for it. Before pricing was announced for the 08s people were just tossing down cash to get in line/on a list, but it wasn't true ordering. If you can really order the cars now it should be a matter of hours or days at the most before pricing is released.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

it doesn't matter if it's a Ram, Caliber, or Challenger. When ordering opens on a New model we order "in the dark". We want them in inventory so we order them how we want them equipped for our customers or our preference. Hope that helps.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I finally did it, after two years of research, planning, and drooling over photos!

I just placed an order for a 2009 SRT Challenger (Hemi-orange). The dealer is splitting the mark-up between invoice and MSRP. Deposits are $500. There is no pricing yet, but this deal was too good to pass up. Production of the 2009s should start in August.

I live 800 miles from the dealership but it will either be dropped shipped to my local Dodge dealer or will be delivered in an enclosed trailer (for about $500) by the dealer if he gets another order in my area.

If you need more details PM me.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Cuda340, Congrats man, feels good doesn't it? Sounds like you got a good deal, now the waiting starts. We have a twelve step program some of us on on, you may need to try it. :D

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Cuda, it looks to me like you have a good deal. Unfortunately you have a long wait.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

It's been 2 years since I first saw the concept car. I think being on this web site and talking to you guys about the Challenger helped make the time go by pretty fast. I know, now that I actually ordered the car, the next 5-6 months are really going to drag. [sm=smiley6.gif]

Christmas will come early this year!

[sm=happybounce.gif]

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I just placed my order for a 2009 SRT8 no/nav package 15 minutes ago. No pricing available. Car will have to be shipped to AZ. I have a written guarantee that the car will sell at MSRP and no deposit was required. VON number to be provided this evening.
:D:D

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I would not order one.
My local dealer wanted to order me one.
I told him when I see the car on the lot then I will buy it....
When you order the car,you still might not see it unless they are making 100,000 of them....
Also I am sure if you look around when the dealers start to get them in,you
will be able to get the car at INVOICE...
I really don't care about how hotttt the car is.....Gas will be around $5 then lol
I would call every salesmanager up and tell them you want the car at Invoice.
Many will say noooo,but you will have a few that will say YES
Never deal with a salesperson(salespeople come and go}
Talk to the salesmanager ONLY....
Yep I got my Friend a Shelby 500 at Invoice and another friend a Z06 $300 above invoice.
I got my 2006 Stang Gt at invoice when dealers were still marking these cars up.......
Sooooo I would wait till the dealers start getting them in,unless you want to get very annoyed waiting

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I have to wonder.... while waiting for my 2008, If I placed an order for the 2009 what car will I see first.
Bet they wont have much of a pause between production years

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

How long until the 2009's are bringing down the value of the 2008's on eBay? I give it a day.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Geeeee I have friends that have ordered a 2008 Challenger in the 1st hour of ordering......
Some are still annoyed not getting any dates or info on the car
Some others are annoyed saying that the dealer will not be able to get the car,,,but
they are happy to sell the Dealership car at $5000 over Msrp.....
In the next few months we will see how many Happy or Uphappy people........
I think Most will never see the car they ordered
and many will lie telling you that they already have theirs.(they are salespeople}
I hope I am wrong butttttttt we will see in June how many unhappy people there are?

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Johnny,

I am one of those guys that was beating down the dealerships door on 12/3. Von number was received 9:46 am, and I'm still in D status. It is unbelieveable as to whats going on. Don't have a clue as to how they are building them, but I definitely feel like the redheaded stepchild.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Geeeeee when I complain,you have mostly salespeople getting on my case lol.
As I have ordered a Stang Gt in the past the dealer said I would have the FIRST Stang Gt that they get in...
Well would you know it,the dealer got 2 stang Gts in(one was my exterior color but the interior was different}
When I called the dealership they said I should get the car soon....
And like the Dodge dealer 800#,,,I was still in IMBO when I called...................
I would say screw it,Its only a few months away till the 2009s are in stock......(wait till you see the car in stock,don't order one}
I am sure the dealer will have allocation 1 or 2 challengers in stock before you will ever see yours(if you are lucky}....
As I said in the past,you have many dodge dealers.
If each of them gets One Or Two,,,then there will be hardly any for the people that ordered one.....
Think about it,,,people think that they will get their cars before the dealer has his to sell from his stock????.....have a lovely nite.....JT

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

lol u sold a 08 for msrp plus 50k yea ok no one and i mean absolutely no one will pay 90k for an american car yet alone a dodge challenger that isnt even a luxury car ... its a muscle car... good performance for a good price. dont bring that garbage in here. jk ;) but yea didnt happen

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Tell that guy that paid $50k over invoice i have a 2001 Nissan Exterra with only 140,000 miles on it that i can let go for only $80,000. Yeah i only paid $15,000 for it new.... but it is hard to find the 2001's (most are in the junk yard by now)

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

50k over?

I will give you 20,000 to call that customer and tell him I will deliver ANY color with ANY options right to his door for only 30,000 over :-Þ

As an added bonus, I will throw in a special monkey that pulls Rolex watches out of it's ass twice daily.......

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

hahaha msrp + 50k. Must be some obscenely rich old fart who's never heard of the internet. You can get one at a buy it now price on ebay for under 50k! For 90k you could get a new one and a matching '71.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

thats clearly salesperson talk....they do it in the showrooms and on the forums too...... guarenteed ull see an 08 sitting on his lot just like u see those limited srt8 chargers in purple sitting at dealers since 06 with a sticker of 60k to see if any person is dumb enough to buy it... its all talk no show just like most dealers...

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I was going to comment about that 50K over invoice nonsense too, but figured the poster had to have meant 5k, and mistakenly entered an extra zero.
Upon delivery, I would gladly sacrifice my black '08 for only 40k over msrp.
Any takers?
Thought not.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I heard. and am waiting to confirm. Hemi-Orange will be retired for R/Ts and SRTs after the '09 run. I am still waiting confirmation of this rumor.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Hemi Orange for 2009 is no rumor, I have one on order with a VON#.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Paladin, I think he was saying after the 09 run (meaning the 09 is getting it). BTW, congrats on the order! :D

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Correct.

'09 yes Hemi-Orange
'10+ no more Hemi-Orange

and congratualtion to everyone ordering an '09

I will be there too around December - February '09

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

saw your post over at the challenger blog

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Yep..

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

Right!

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I am sure you can get a VON# before you walk out the dealers door.
Just because you have a VON# does not mean you will see the car.
Dealers are allocated so many cars and some dealers will not see
a Challenger RT,,,they might get a few V6s.......
So for the people that have Von#s don't think that you are 100% in
getting the cars.
Yep dealers are happy to take your money and give you a Von#.
Most will be sitting around waiting for their Challengers while the dealer
is getting his allocation for his stock..Have a long wait,,,,better to find one in stock......JT

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

So I have more to a rumor I heard. This is from a source to a source, to my source; so being it is at least third hand it's reliability is questionable to me. I would not normally post it, but in case anyone can either verify or nullify it, here is what I got. Hemi-Orange will not exist beyond, nor for the whole of the 2009 model year. It will be a limited run to complete the number of orders of those who desired to get a Hemi-Orange 2008 but didn't/couldn't. I have no idea what that means, but I have a guess.
If Chrysler set the limit of 2008's to 6400 but they got 10000 orders, (and? since fullfillment has had production issues, make the line fuzzy between '08's and '09's?) that would mean there are 10000 -(# of orange 2008's) = some number of addition Hemi-Orange Challengers to be built for the 2009 model year (?which were those who wanted a Hemi-Orange 2008, but couldn't get it?) [sm=proof.gif]

Truth? False rumor to build hype? Hey it at least sounds plausible, or, maybe, Chrysler is Listening? [sm=icon_blah.gif]
What have you heard (or know)?

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I was told only 100, 2009 Hemi Orange Challengers.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

I know what I've read, and yes it's disappointingto say the least" that Chrysler is wishy-washy. First we heard they were originally only going to 4500-5000 2008 models. Hemi orange would be only available for 2008srt, now the 2009's as well. Are the exclusive carbon fiber stripes only for the 2008's or is that going to change as well. Obviously money is driving their change of mind. The 2008's just keep on getting less exclusive day by day. I would really have liked red but that option wasn't avaiable. Anyway the 2008's should be delivered before the 2009"s, so for now I will stick by my gun.

RE: 2009 Hemi Orange SRT's Available
 

any other colors for '09 we might like to know about?

me too :) prolly more like March - April, though
