Default How many 08 Challengers will they build

When I ordered mine at $5K over MSRP I was led to believe that 4500 would be built. Last night at BJ they said just under 10,000 would be built. What good is the numbered dash if you get number 8997 ? Somewhat concerned.

This shows you exactly what you get for EVER paying over MSRP: An expensive lesson.

That extension of the model run has been known for some time. Yep, plaque could read 8999, [&:]

"Limited Production" is basicly limited to how many Chrysler can produce between now and model changeover. Even at 4500 with a numbered plague it would hardly be considered "Limited". The car business is littered with numberd cars, many times it doesn't effect the value of the car down the road. Less than 200 or 500 yeah that means something, less than 5000 I wouldn't bet good money on that, probably be better odds in vegas. My 2 Cents.

Dodge has been doing that with the Daytona Chargers. I believe they number them according to color (i.e.: #2556 of 5000).

If I had to make a best guestimate they will probably build 6k, I don't think they can build much more than that and produce 30k 09 model as predicted
