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

 

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...

 

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...

 

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?

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

Go BUCKEYES!!

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[:-]
