Order your Challenger?
 

I have noticed that most Dodge dealers ordered their 2007 SRT Chargers fully "loaded."

The following is an example of what I found on dealer lots:

2007 SRT Charger:

Base Cost (includes destination & gas guzzler tax)- $38,695
Tor-red Paint- $ 225
Option I (AC dual zone)- $ 675
Option II (Kicker stereo/alarm)- $ 845
Option III (Nav system)- $ 2,355
Side Air Bags- $ 390
Sun Roof- $ 950
Rear Seat Video- $ 1,150
Total Cost- $45,285

"Friendly" dealers in New Jersey checked off every possible option and ordered cars with $6,590 in options. This of course will maximize their profits at the buyer's expense. In addition, the lucky buyer will also pay an addtional $461 sales tax (@7%)!

For what you are getting $38,695 MSRP is reasonable. But who needs almost $7,000 in options that will not make your car go any faster or look any better?

I will definitely try to find a dealer where I can order my Challenger (probably 2009) with the options (if any) that I want. ;)

Nav system is a waste for most people. I got it in my 300C and not worth the price especially since mobile phones now have GPS services.

Rear seat video in a Challenger? "Kids, don't sit so close to the TV set!" "But Dad, we can't help it back here!"

For those of us to travel to other cities, it is invaluable. In rental cars (Hertz Never Lost which is a Garmin) and personal cars
Garmin with the females voice that give you direction is awesome.

If you do not travel, it is a waste but even in my own town I can put in a street address and it take me right to it.

One time I took a 12 hour drive from Texas to New Mexico and it took me right to the house in the mountains and never had
to pull a map. I just trusted the ladies voice. LOL!
