I checked, but it's like everything I check about the Challenger, no one knows anything about the car. My insurance person said an SRT8 Charger would be $680 a year, but I'm not sure that tells me anything. I think we'll just have to look around. If anyone get's what they feel are good rates they should pass along the insurance companies name so everyone in the forum can check them out.

How many with a challenger on order has checked on insurance? I bet none, including me, I'm affraid to. For those to young too remember, that sure slowed the sales of the muscle cars in the in '60's and '70's. Those brave people who find out let the rest of us know.

The premiums, however, will vary by insurance company and will be based on the following variables: age, marital status, driving record, pleasure or work use, location, multiple insured cars, etc.

I called my State Farm agent today, he said the CHALLENGER would cost me $876 a year for full coverage. I ask him how come my CUDA (insured for $90000) was cheaper, he said because it was over 25 years old. Doesn't make sence.

I'm with GEICO and have been for 25 years or so. They just quoted from their system, $505.90 for 6 months full coverage, including 7 year 100,000 mile mechanical (full warrenty even items not covered by the OEM), rental car, towing service, full glass coverage and lost or locked key entry.
Not bad at all.

I am sure that the Challenger R/T and SRT will command a higher insurance premium. First, because they are more expensive cars and secondly because they are in the high performance category.
The premiums, however, will vary by insurance company and will be based on the following variables: age, marital status, driving record, pleasure or work use, location, multiple insured cars, etc.

i know in the past a new model is higher due to replacement parts availability. I use Geico as well but haven't checked yet. Scared to, I do have 2 speeding tickets in the last year so it might hurt a bit.

I just got a phone call from my dealer. He said a memo just came down from corporate stating the 2008 Challenger would not be delivered to the dealerships until early Aug 2008. They would then begin receiving the 2009 models within 60 days.
That's what he told me.[]

Different subject, If Dodge is indeed producing the black ones first, which it does look like.They obviously aren't going by vin#'s, then they will be badged by color and not order entry. What a rip-off for those who followed the challenger and were knocking on Dodge Dealership doors On 12/3/07, before they opened. I called my dealer today and he advised no change still in D. They can't place a badge number 101 based on order date but was built 300th in line. So the moral or the story was think & order black. I think I've read that somewhere before.

Hi All .. I'm new here .. I too have an 08 Challenger on order .. as of yesterday still "C" status ... no vin yet... and mine is Black .. I'm posting only to give the tiny bit of info I heard Yesterday ... From an insider ... so far only about 20 cars have been built, and that the process got delayed by a last min need for 800 special Chargers (my guess fleet or police).. I do have a high degree of confidance in my insider.. but who knows ..
