I've been driving my white R/T since Saturday.
I can't remember the last time I saw so many people just turn and stare. I drove past the local Chevy dealer, who was doing a big "Camaro introduction" event, with the tent and everything. I thought really hard about pulling in and parking next to the pedistal, just to see what kind of a reaction I might get. (I thought better of it, though. I buy my GM parts there, and they have been decent to me. No sense in pizzing them off. :D ) |
You might be surprised. They could have asked you to pull closer like they did me.

Not cancelling my RT Classic order yet
I too am upset over not getting my car yet, I ordered mine November 6, 2008 for a 2009 model. I was told it was available to order when in fact it was not. So the dealer got my $5000.00 deposit back in November and did not actually order my car until January 26, 2009 it has been in D status for months until the announcement a couple weeks ago now it is in BG status. I believe the dealer lied about when the order could be placed to get the deposit to show profit for the month. I am seeing other cars same color, options etc as mine ordered in February and the cars have been delivered, this too is very upsetting. At least the dealer I ordered from is not one on the chopping block or I would have called Chrysler and changed the order to have it sent to another dealer. So for now I will wait, I was told this is going to be a limited edition and won't be produced after the 2009 model by the sales manager at my dealer.

floobs, I feel for you, but if I were you I would begin a search for what you want because there is no guarantee you will get your car.
Sounds like they pulled a fast one on you just to get your deposit, so I would not trust them to tell you the truth. You may or you may not, and the sales manager doesn't know any more than you and I. JMHO |
By chance does it have a six speed in it? I don't know if one end is communicating with the other, but when I ordered mine in Oct and waited six months for nothing to show up, I spoke with Chrysler and they said that there was something wrong with the order that was placed. I talked with the dealer and they said that there was nothing wrong with it, that it was just taking a while. I'm not sure which one to believe on that one since it sat in BG status, I think, the entire time it was on order. I'm leaning towards Chrysler. I would say check with them, but you know what they would say at this point with what's going on.

My dad's B5 classic order was placed in Jan/Feb I think, and it's finally in the shipping process. Over the last weekend, we heard it was in MI waiting for a driver to deliver it to the dealership.

I must be one of the lucky ones. I ordered my Silver R/T J-package with 6-speed on February 26, 2009, right before the Employee Pricing came to an end. I waited for (what seemed like an excrutiating) 8-weeks (dealer quoted 4-10 weeks from date of order). I took delivery on April 23, 2009, and I haven't been able to remove the grin from my face :D.
Checking online for dealer inventories, they show less than 20 total Challengers (all models) within a 150 radius of Central PA. If you're impatient and unsure about an order, grab one while the gettin' is good. |
I read on the Chrysler page yesterday that the Challenger is slated to be built in 2010 and 2011 still. I also read the brampton plant should be online this month. I hope to once again order the exact B5 Classic that i want from another Dodge dealer in my area. My first attempt was with a dealer that was severed. Does anyone have conflicting data?

Nevermind I read another thread here that confirmed what I read. No my hopes are up again about having a new ride this summer and fall. Excited like a kid knowing xmas is coming.
