dealer just told me theres a slated 8% price increase next month on all models...what?

 

Steel prices have been going up like crazy.I sell steel products about 10% per month past 16 months

 

Huh? What?

 

Then they will add a 10% rebate to fool foolish customers into thinking they got a good deal. They need to set realistic prices like the good car companes do (Toyoto,Honda,Nissan).

 

Plastics have gone up 100% since January...steel nails,go price them, used to be $20 for 50# box....about $60 or $70 now.

 

Or maybe he just wants you to buy now...

 

It's the fault of the Chinese. They're using up all the steel.
But isn't iron a plentiful metal? Seems to me that there should be more than enough iron to make steel for the whole world.
After all, the earth has an entire core made of molten iron.

 

Ha ha ...Ask the Democrats in congress. USA has all these environmental laws that other countries dont follow.
We dont produce anything any more because the Socialist Party wants it that way.Its all there in black and white.
Kind of like off shore drilling and drilling in Alaska for oil. They paint the picture one way when it is nothing close in reality.
Then you have the s....ok I will save it for political forums.

 

i've also heard that the prices will be up for the 09 and that the Challenger wasn't priced right from the go which is why the heavy markups took place??

 

I can't believe the Challenger was not priced right? Hell, they certainly had enough time to properly analyze the production costs, margins, competitive landscape, etc. If they adjust upward I'm not sure why they would expect to see them on the road in any real numbers. Dodge has got to be smart about this or they'll kill their golden goose - the SE, R/T and SRT seem appropriately priced now if not slightly aggressive on the latter two. IMO
