As far as I'm concerned this economy sucks because prices on everything from houses to cars have gone way out of site. I don't know about your area but there's alot of Challengers piling up on dealer lots in Connecticut. After looking at a few I think there way overpriced even at MSRP. I bought a 2005 Mustang GT in November of 04 with a window price that was about $27,500 a comparable Challenger would run me about $10,000 more and I just don't think there's that big of a differance in both cars. Once the real enthusists are done buying this car it will most likely die off. Don't get me wrong the Challenger is a nice car just to overpriced for me.

I remember them charging more for the red in the past. They had just stopped doing that recently, now they figure they are going to start charging more for it again. How nice.

Holy crap! I have not seen more than 4 Challengers on any one lot here in Northeast Ohio. Some dealers only have one or two.

Sounds like they need to start moving the stock around to areas where they can sell them....22 at one dealer is unreal....how much of a markup is this guy charging? I have never seen more than four or five at a dealership.

A couple weeks ago, I seriously considered buying a 2008 Mustang "program car" at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. They were advertising them for $12,995.

Having had three Thunderbirds that all began life as rental cars, I have nothing against buying "program cars." On a whim, I called late in the day when I finally got around to reading the paper and saw the ad. A sales guy told me they had three left (out of six) and one of them was white, which I would have wanted. It had 13,000 miles on it. Frankly, if the situation at work was better (there have been layoffs in my department), I would have bought the Mustang.

When there are prices like these are floating around for what's basically a comparable car (everything said and done, a V-6 Mustang is very similar to an SE Challenger), you've really got to wonder what Dodge and its dealers are thinking with the price of the Challenger.
