Hemi-orange, the carbon-fiber hood strip and the dash plaque were all intended to make the 2008 Challenger unique (and sell foir big $$$). Two things happened to extend the color to the 2009 SRTs- lobbying by Bob Frederick (redletterdodge.com) and disappointed buyers who could not get a 2008. Rather than lose these potential 2009 sales, the color was extended. That being said, Hemi-orange will disappear as a color option half-way or less through the 2009 model run.

 

i read on another topic here where someone posted a few pics of a order sheet showing the caR being shipped to germany....the final price was 50k......and his paper work showed msrp with a mil discount...

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these things arent going to sale for that type of scratch...not when the camaro and mustang are out there in 2009 too...

am i reading this wrong?????

do we honestly think this car will come in at or near 50k....??????? this WAS A 2009 he ordered....

here is the link that i am talking bout

somthing has to be wrong here.... someone please explian why this order sheet shows this kind of money

 

My advise for this car is just wait until the cars hit the lots. My bet is that high gas prices and rotten economy is going to reduce the number of potential customers. This being said it will be more of a buyers market. That is my 2 cents worth.

 

I also ordered a production slot, preorder w/milatary sales, and was shocked at the price. The markup, in my humble opinion, is due to equipment that was standard on the 08 are now options for the 09 i.e. 13 Kicker audio system, option package 1-3. There's 7 yr warrantey(est $2K), overseas delivery $700, $800 manual tranny etc. I added all the "new options" it comes up to $3400; $5400 with the extended warranty. The price may be lower because they don't have the official pricing and order software. However, I am expecting to pay around mid to upper 40's. It does make me sick a little thinking I can get two 2007 R/T Charger for around $21K. But, I am a firm believer to either go really cheap or get what makes you happy the first time.

Here' my info:

Challenger SRT
Hemi-Orange
Manual
Fully Loaded
1-3% below MSRP (awaiting pricing)
