Well, I might be getting my challenger sooner than I thought if they are starting to have problems selling the 08's and now the 09 production starts. Rather wait and get a very good deal than buy now and regret later (I am cheap).

 

I dont think there haveing proublems selling the 08s for around msrp or a couple grand above .Its when they want 10 or 15 thousand over its geting tough . A used one sold here last week through the regular car auction and brought 47900 used .

 

I think you are right the main reason they have not sold is they are being listed above MSRP to high by various dealers Even my local was taking orders for 09s for 5000 above MSRP but I guess you can ask for any price, it will just sit like the housing market I still believe the later production 09s will not command full MSRP but I could be wrong

 

I called A dodge dealer in Windsor, and they do indeed have one. Salesman told me MSRP was 52,500...I asked what number of 500 it was and apparently the Canadian ones dont have numbers, the tag on the dash just said First Edition Challenger 500. Either not numbered or its #500...im guessing the first.

Currently I have one from the states that I bought off ebay for 45,100. There seems to be a bit of uncertainty as to wether or not they can sell an american car to a canadian, but my old man lives down there too, so I can go that route if needed. Bottom line is, 45000 + shipping, tax and border charges is gonna run me 51,000 all together...52,500+ tax, delivery and all the other crap is gonna be closer to 60...Great to be Canadian..

 

Here's the sticker at Town & Country Dodge in Conyers, Ga:

 

Sigh, heres another great example. I spent all morning calling dealerships across Canada, just to see what they were charging. I got probably a dozen at 52,500-57,000. Then I get ahold of a guy in Winnipeg, He says he has 4 Challys. 2 black, 1 orange and a silver on the way. I say ok, how much are you asking for them? He replies 72,000. So i say ok, so 20,000$ over msrp? He says "Yes, dealerships across canada have decided that this is the asking price, and you wont find any for under 70"

Sigh.

 

Let time be your friend, when the 2009s and Camaro roll out watch prices drop. If you want to be first on the block then buck up and pay.

 

oh i realize that, and i dont think the 52,000 is that unreasonable...however having some guy tell me that 72 is the going rate is what upsets me.

 

Well, if you found them for 52-57 then you know hes lying through his teeth. Let him know hes full of it.

 

After reading this post I had to call my local Dealership, Tacoma Dodge. They had three and two went to custom buyers, the third had his financing fall through, so they initally asked for $66,000. After calling, im not sure if he was truthful or not, they told me they unloaded it last week for just over $60,000. It hurts to hear about someone willing to pay that much for a car like that. Reminds me of the scam they call Barret-Jackson, due to them I cant afford nearly any muscle cars now.
