Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

We have a local Dodge Dealer here in Seattle, Washington that has a advertisementin the local paper that he has 3 Challengers avaible FOR SALE. I called them yesterday to see if they had them in stock, I was told they had 1 on there floor , with 2 more coming. I loaded my 2 sons and we drove down there ( Had to see this car in person ) .

The Challenger on there Showroom Floor is Black ( # 0022 of 6400 ) and the car has to be seen in person to really do it justice. The saleman told me the next 1 is Hemi Orange, not sure the color he said on number 3. He actualy let us open it up and sit in it, that kind of surprised me.

I've read on this site how much over MSRP some people have paid to get there 2008 Challenger, but this one surprised me ( I have a 2009 RT on order thur a different Dealer ), It has the Manufacture Sticker and right net to it is a the Dealers Sticker. In big letters DEALER MARKUP " = $49,999 , TOTAL PRICE $ 99,999.00 I guess I missed the GOLD PLATING SOMEWHERE .

How bad do you want to own a 2008 CHALLENGER ???

The really sad thing is that as sure as the sun rises in the east, SOMEONE will probably pay that much for it.

I guess the dealer/owner figured out a way to pay for HIS Challenger!

Europe has the euro, the USA has the dollar, but in Seattle the economy trades in Mircosoftdollars, a whole different economy. In Microsoftdollars, thats not all that much money...:D

trust me, the guilt will pass by September or October when the '09's are available and our cars have taken a $3-5K hit in depriciation...for the guys paying 5K over, thats a 8-10K hit, for the 10K over msrp guys, I dont even want to think about it...

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

Tup I dont know with 2009 having a $2000 increase in price they should depreciate evenly ?

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

Who is the dealer?

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

I hear ya.
Im figuring - STILL without OFFICIAL pricing - that my 09 srt with the formula tires, six speed Tremec T6060, and option group II (Kicker Sound System) will total about $46,200.00 with everything added in ($1700 gas guzzler tax, 6% sales tax, inspection, title and registration).
Hope thats not far off - or my wife will set me adrift with my dream in tow.

I think your pretty close bootcamp as long as you dont want nav or the roof I think your pretty close .

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

No nav or mygig for me. I want a performance car (with a good sound system), so just the manual, which has all of the goodies I want in the TrakPak anyway, tires, and kicker stereo.

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

Bootcamp, I am with you there! I have ordered my 09 exactly like that, with of course, Hemi Orange paint on it! To me this car is a reincarnation of the original which was meant to go fast period. Not being a luxury liner. But hey, to each their own, they can build it they way they want. Me, I prefer to be lean and mean all the way.

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

Lol 100k for a challenger? Even ones on ebay with buy it now in the 60s are not selling.

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

Justinec101... you got the vanishing point challenger now... nice... ;)

RE: Are you Desperate to own a 08 Challenger ??
 

I think they lowered price to 91grand...Bob Larson in Puyallup,WA on floor 71grand ..Auto trader ad says MSRP......The Ebay ones are going on average 43grand....

Yes but most folk work at starbucks not for microsoft. Speaking of starbucks, sounds like they are going to close 600 stores nationwide. I consider them the canary inside the mine regarding the economy. Think in a few years, I will get an awesome deal on a challenger unless things turn around regarding fuel price. I really do believe we are reliving the 70's again except for disco which means high interest rates to counter inflation and most folks income will not keep pace with stagflation coupled with higher unemployment. We really do need to drill quickly, add nukes, use shale rock oil and keep developing the green technologies including E-85 if we would start using sugar beets and stop using low yield corn regarding the production of ethanol

Okay done ranting and things will turn around eventually, just have to ride things out.

It's called the free market and it's a lot better than communism in the former USSR, where they had fixed prices and severe shortages of products for sale and you had to wait in extremely long lines to get things. I don't think it's sad. I think it's fantastic that some people have that much money and don't have to wait. I want to be one of those people. The sooner the better.

If you restrict prices, you're going to have product shortages and all kinda bad problems.
