RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
If I did not buy a Challenger for some strange reason, I would be really lost as to what car to get.
The reason is, I used to own one and so there is an emotional attachment to this "beast of a car".
I would really have to switch gears but the Porsche Cayman is too expensive.

We're selling our 2001 box Cherokee (love that car) and buying a new Mercedes 350ML (my wife's idea).
I'll then drive our Jeep Wrangler, then sell it for the Challenger when the dealers are dipping below MSPR for the 5.7L manuals (can't wait)!

wow who knew a 15 year old could start 11 pages of dialog. The price is going to be like the price of the dodge ram pick-up vs. the chevy 1500 pick-up and the ford F150. Hello, the mustang, the camaro and the challenger are all in the same class. Thus I am sure a company worth over $7.4 billion is aware of the fact they have to be competitive in the market. Come on guys and gals dodge knows consumers are not that stupid.

All that makes sense, davecpa, except for one thing: the company "worth over $7.4 billion" was worth $37 billion when Daimler bought it nine years ago.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
Hi guys,
First time poster but ive been keeping my eye on this site. I really want to get a few things cleared up, i read all previous pages of this thread but i didn't really get a clear answer.
I remember, although it may have been inaccurate, that some chargers had a $15,000 mark up on them from the deal, and that in addition you had to pay a $5,000 gas guzzler tax. If any of this is is true, should i look for something different to happen for the challenger model?(also what about the lifetime warranty) I know the new ownership and such may make a difference but, its been my experience that when dealing with car companies, that their gonna tell you one thing and sure enough its something compleatly different.
Alot of you have mentioned common sense, or something close to it, when disscusing these companies, but i don't really ever recall a car company using that for any vehicle. They have a bottom line, dollar only attitude and while they may tell you "This is the working mans car" or whatever ad campaign targeting a price bracket of people they spout, they really only care about the $$. (or maybe this only happens to the cars I want [:@])
long story short, whats my price range here? ive been saving up for a few years now to get this car but i keep hearing base is 50 but expect 70 ...i mean come on...id rather get a lexus. IMO
And don't let anything ive said fool you, i live and die for muscle cars which is why ive been penny pinching since i saw this work of art in a magazine a few months before the chicago auto show a couple years back. I just want to still have both my kidneys after purchasing it.
Thanks guys.

Don't confuse the manufacturer/MSRP with the dealer/Mark-up. This is a supply and demand issue, welcome to the world of Capitalism!

Who said base is $50,000? Base will be about the same as a Charger, with demand being crazy, DEALER MARK-UP may send the price as high as $70,000.
Note the words in caps!

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
And again, Senor Wall Street, that's when the wise individual lets the $70,000 Challengers sit until they magically become $31,000 Challengers. Capitalism, after all, is a two-way street.
