WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Several members suggested this so here you go.[sm=goodidea.gif]

Who has a 2009 Challenger of any model on order is in addition to the other tread about the 2008 SRT8'S
Lets all try and usev this to talk about our impending orders and hope that we can keep Joani Short , Budman, Neil, and any other members who can help around to help us, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I'll start: I ordered back on May 15th, a 2009 R/T in hemi Orange from Buhler Dodge in Eatontown , NJ. My order has a VON number21968653 and at this time is BA status. What this means is that the status hasn't moved one bit since May 15th. Even though I've seen some posts on here that some have 2009 orders with VIN numbers and in BX status...Looks like some of us may go through the same BS with Dodge as the 2009 Members...I really hope not!

PLEASE , all members that have a 2009 on order post on this site so we can keep track of when we may see our Challengers to, OK
PS if there is another post or thread to this subject you want to use please tell me and I'll gladly chnge to it, Thanks, Fat Cat[sm=gears.gif]

I ordered my '09 R/T (TorRed, 27J, 6 SPD, 20", sunroof) on June 13th (VON 22085106). My car "went BX" on June 20th, and as of July 2nd, the car is in C status. My dealer is just outside columbus ohio, and had 3 cars allocated. I was really hoping for a mid August delivery, but i am trying to not get excited after following this forum for the last 6 months!

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I really will be suprised if your cars come in as quick as you're hoping. As far as I know, they have not even set up the line for the 09 run. If the 08s are any indication, it will be at least 4 to 6 weeks for the first car to be finished and staged for shipping. Then shipping can be anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks. This would put the first car delivered somewhere around mid September at the very earliest. I also read on this forum that they will be concentrating on the SE model first, then the RT and at the very end the SRT. This would put RTs probably very late this year at the earliest. I am giving this information so you guys don't go balistic like several of the 08 buyers have.

Good luck and I hope I am wrong,

Dave

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I have 2 identical 2009 SRT-8s ordered - Hemi Orange loaded - stick, perf tires, sunroof, My GIG, Group II complete with hood stripes

#1 was ordered June 18th VON 22118347 currently a C status

#2 was ordered earlier (May 16) VON 21973549 rollercoaster BG/BX now back to BG status

I hope the C status turns to D soon.

Does anyone know when the next round of scheduling will occur?

May I ask what your total before tax was?


Thanks, Dave

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

$45,375 including $1700 gas guzzler tax as well as 8 gallons of gas (better be premium)

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Thank you. My 08 was $46,035 including $2,100 gas tax. I think I get 19 gallons of gas though...lol.

Good luck,

Dave

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

OK, aside from the VON (22099150) and options (spare tire, smoker's package), my signature line pretty much says it all. The last time I checked (a couple of weeks ago), it was in BG status.

I hadn't expected to see it till December at the earliest (from what the salesman told me originally). After reading the rumors here of earlier SE production, I asked him if he'd heard anything about that. He said he hadn't, but did know that dealers were pressing Dodge to go with the SEs earlier.

I'm trying to avoid falling into the trap of worrying about its status. When it shows up, it shows up.

It's MSRP + $100 for tire + $30 for smoker's package.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Hey Roswell, does the smokers package help remove rubber from the rear quarter panels - LOL? That will be the only smoking allowed around my car - I love my cigars, but refrain from smoking in my cars, now rental cars - that's a different story.

Actually, I just wanted a lighter in the car. Never know when you need to start a fire. ;)

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Dave,

That additional $660 you paid on your 2008 SRT8 is to cover the additional 11 gallons of gas (only $60/gal).

My order sheet shows the 8 gallons of gas having a dealer price of $22 (effectively $2.75/gal) I was hoping to lock a few thousand gallons of fuel as part of the deal at this dealer price.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Let us not forget the $1.80 for my dash number. That drops the price per gallon to $59.97.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Dave i asked 3 times for them to fill my tank and never happend Joani said they didn't do that anymore

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

cost me 75 bucks to fill it on the way home and when i left the dealership i had just under half a tank

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I ordered a 2009 SRT8 with: Hemi Orange, Trak Pak, Srt Option Group 2, Power sunroof, Performance tires, and MyGig/nav system. The car was ordered on June 23rd and I have a VON. The car is at BG status. I tried to find a dealer in metro Detroit that would allow me to order a 2009 for MSRP and they all him-hawed. I found a small dealer in my hometown, 100 miles N. of Detroit that took my order. Here is my big fear: they only had 1 2008 SRT8 allocated to them. Their second order was converted to a 2009 so if they only get one car I am screwed. I pre-ordered because I really want the orange six-speed. The dealers around here have been like pigs at the trough, even the dealership where I bought 4 vehicles. Placing the order with that small dealer felt great, but it's a coin flip whether I will get it. I hope you all had better luck with pricing.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

My ......2009......Challenger has not even been built yet and my VON as per my dealer has not moved and [sm=dontgetit.gif] ......... you 2008 guys are here talking and worring about how much gas you got in your delivered .....2009.......GEEZE , some nerve....lol...If you have to worry about the gas its the WRONG CAR for YOU!!!!! I see a PRIUS in your future ....ROFLMAO[sm=happybounce.gif].....But to be honest I'm really happy for all you guys who got your 2009's and Congratulation to all. Now I hope we can post about all our 2008 problems or lack of them...LOL Good luck to all who have ordered any " 2009 " Challenger

Best wishes , Fat Cat [sm=gears.gif]

PS , I was there during the delivery of "SAM THE JEEP MAN"S" 2008 SRT8 Hemi Orange Challenger and even helped him check it over for defects......what an AWESOME CAR and we only found 3 defects all very small.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I ordered my 2009 Challenger on May 13th 2008. It will be Hemi orange Pearl, 6 spd, perf tires, track pak, group II and stripes. My VON is 21959753 and I am in status C. I was told (I know, and Santa isnt real either) to expect to be in D1 very soon after the 11th of July and to expect a Mid September delivery.

I know I will probably be whinning and crying like everyone else when Xmas comes and goes with no car in sight too!

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Brucer,

Did you order an SRT8?

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I ordered a 2009 Challenger SRT on May 16 from an out-of-state dealer. I have gone from BA to BG to BX to BG to BX back to BG in the past 7 weeks. My dealer says that no dealers have received allocations for SRTs yet. This is total BS. [:@]

On the Challenger Registry there are 11 SRTs in "C" status.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Sorry, forgot that, yes it is an SRT8 and I paid an MSRP of $43,560 at Naperville Dodge in Naperville, Illinois (about 40 miles west of the city of Chicago).

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Not to be a downer, but if you get an 09 SRT in the middle of September....I'll buy you a tank of gas. Seriously, put your expectations to about January and if it comes earlier you will be happy. If you leave your expectations as unrealistic as they are, you will just end up very frustrated.

Good Luck,

Dave

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Good recommendation Dave but based on experience the safer bet would be to set the expectation for January and be happy if you get it by March... ;)

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I'm talking w. two dealers in Ohio and they still can't tell me a price and the options available??? Absolutley maddening especially as you guys have orders in already...and yes, this is for an '09 SRT.

Ask about the "Classic Edition" in B5 blue and you may as well be speaking chinese...

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Darn, I just hate it when my expectations get shattered and my feelings get hurt..dang nab it!!! Oh well at least I can dream can't I?

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Model: 2009 SRT8
Color: Torred*
Options: 6-Speed w/ Track Pak, MyGig
Order Date: May 13th, 2008
Dealer: AAFES/ENCS**
Final Price: 46,171.50 (Including Gas Guzzler Tax and Delivery fees)
Est Delivery Date: 10 Oct 08 (Yeah, right. And my name is Jay Leno.)

*Originally I wanted Hemi Orange, but I ordered before it was made available, and I wanted the 6-Speed more than I wanted the Orange (so I pased on the 08). I didn't want to change my order after it became available again and risk being sent to the end of the line. My second choice was B5 Blue, but I didnt want to wait for the "late availability" I can live with Torred, I had a 98 Dakota in Torred and I loved it.

** http://www.encs.com/ Opting for overseas delivery. I'm hoping to have one of the first Challengers in Germany and THE first in the Wiesbaden/Mainz, area.


I'll edit this and post my invoice once Photobucket comes back up from maintenance.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

I really can't believe they're ripping off GIs for the gas-guzzler tax. That's outrageous.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

There has been a bunch of happy customers at Bob Frederick's dealership in Ohio. Perhaps you want to give him a call. There was a thread on here somewhere with his contact information. I would have ordered from him but he's a Buckeye and I'm a Wolverine. We have taken too many beatings in late November recently. Buying a car, or anyrthing in Ohio is taboo until we win a few. I won't even go to Cedar Point. If I sound bitter it's because I am.

I have 2 VONs for a Orange SRT8 with every option but sunroof. One dealer quoted $500 UNDER MSRP and the other (which I like better as a dealer but money is money) was kind of reluctant to match and has commited to "work with me". Both orders the same week in June and in Bx/BG status.
I would rather wait till April instead of the hassle of December. I wont drive it anywhere thats not warm and sunny.
This will be my first and only garage kept, weekend driver. Unless that powerball thing works out[:-]

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

SKIDS33T,

Did you have the hard time picking the color? I can understand you dilemma with choosing the color; it took me about 2 months to pick black when there wasn’t an option for orange. Another reason for picking orange, other than the hemi theme, was rumor has it this will be the last year for the Hemi orange.

FYI, you can still change the color to orange without changing your production slot. I’ve changed my color from black to orange w/o fear of changing my quote with encs.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

Ive been trying to reply for the past 24 hours, DodgeDreamer. I guess my answer is too long and it wont let me.
So short answer: It was a difficult decision, and I am still trying to decide if I should go Orange or Red.

RE: WHO HAS A 2009 CHALLENGER ANY MODEL ON ORDER??
 

You guys are not kidding..picking the color is becoming a task..If they had B-5 blue it would be easier
