RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

My advice- Reearch dealer inventory on dodge.com and be prepared to travel out-of-state for your Challenger. In the NJ/PA/DE area where I live, SRTs are treated like diamonds and command the same high prices. Find out who are the high volume SRT dealers and e-mail them when the time is right. I plan to make my move in December 2008. ;)

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Keep in mind, the dealers are not setting the prices, the customers are (you and me). If we are willing to pay 20 over then that is what they are going to sell for. Our local Dodge dealer has other dealers calling them all the time offering our local dealer way above sticker so they can have their car to sell to one of their customers. This happened at our Ford store on the Mustangs and I am not talking about the Shelby's but the new body style 2005 Mustangs, V-6's to the GT's. In 2006 things settled down but I guess you would have to compare the Challenger (SRT8 model anyways) to the GT 500. They actually made way more first year GT 500's than they will Challenger SRT8 models for 2008 and they still bring quite a bit over sticker. I would like to know if anyone has an idea of how many of the 30,000 will be the SRT8 model (comparing it to the GT 500) as top dog. I am sure the V-6 models will be easier on the wallet but will be sticker plus I would guess but the sticker will be a lot less. 30,000 cars divided among (not sure how many Dodge dealers are out there) the dealers is still not a ton of cars per dealer to play with.

Challenger parts will be expensive!!

Accoding to the MoparStar dealer catalog, the gas filler cap (Part # 5112873AA) retails for $639.
The calipers for it are $422 for the front and $467 for the rear (per side).

So don't buy those parts, your Challenger will already have them. :D

maybe i will need to buy mine in alaska... they cant have that high of a demand there.. can they?

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Its always best to find one out of state... that way you have to go on a road trip to get it:D I hope I find one in Arizona and then I'll take my Route 66 cruise I've been promising myself. Imagine a ride up the Pacific Coast Highway. Hwy. 1 possibly. Then a right turn towards the Midwest. Gotta stop and see Mom and Dad. Then a short jount to the house in NC.;) Now thats what I'm talking about... a man and his car:)

i've seen 3 differnt shelby 500's in the last couple months all with less than 5,000 miles one with only 500 miles!! All three for less than msrp. One was just a shade over 40k.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

I agree that many of us will be forced to buy a car out-of-state to get the best deal. I know that dealers in the Northeast, where I live, are looking for big $$$$$$$$.

My only problem with a long road trip is parking my new Challenger in a motel parking lot at night. I had a car stolen and I am very paranoid about it. Maybe I'll have it delivered in an enclosed trailer. ;)

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Maybe Dodge will be offering up the Camo gear as a retail option fo that purpose... :D

Have a security system that barks like a real dog. Even if it not a real dog, it would certain attract attention and keep the evil doers away.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Lots of good information on this thread. Some of the information is a little dated at this point though. As of today, three out of three dealers I shopped at would have sold me my 2008 SRT 8 for MSRP.

One in Norco CA wants to sell at $2500 over MSRP as of yesterday.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

We went to the dealer the other day.
Had a SE in Wanted 21K
He asked me what a 6-Speed Manual R/T would be.
So told him 35-37K.
He was impressed.
That made my day.
Blow a dealers doors off with my superior Challenger knowledge.
Paid off the year and a half i've been here.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Heh Peevan check with Moss in San Bernardino ,they will sell below MSRP

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Peeven if you go to Mos Bros in San Bernardino ask for Tedroy Smith that is who i got my car from also joani is the service manager their they will treat you really good tell them Shaky sent you AKA Frank Brennan he will do you right.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Shaky and ET, thanks. I am still a few months away from purchase but you are confirming for me what I have been gathering from this forum....Moss in San Bernardino may just be the place. I have been to Ontario Dodge to get a close up look and to acquaint my wife with what I am talking about. Showed her the SRT, got a good listen running it, and it didnt scare her off...we left with her saying maybe we should get two:):):). (She was talking about my son though...not her...but still...ya gotta love a woman like that!!)

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

Yep... I hear ya Peevan... gotta love a woman like that... :)

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
 

got my black R/T 6 spd with leather and sunroof for 32,400 plus tax on the 21st of November. MSRP was 34,450....dealer just outside of Atlanta

$60,000?
 

Anyone who paid $60,000 for a 2008 SRT is now $20,000 in the hole!

Do not pay any more than $40,000 for an SRT!

Just stick with the challenger.. I prefer to have it too..

Just waiting for my fund..:D

maybe i will need to buy mine in alaska... they cant have that high of a demand there.. can they?

Get yourself a sound, dependable, economical used car to learn on (and have your first accident with) - it's happened that way for MOST of us. I'm not trying play baccarat to "rain on your parade", and I hope Dodge makes the Challenger long enough so you can get a new one - AFTER you've got a few years behind the wheel under your belt, and you're not a "slave" to the financial burden.
