In the meantime, if you don't mind me asking. How much did your dealer charge you, for your new Challenger R/T ? As I'm really curious.
The sticker was $39055 and I got it for $1500 under that plus tax and tag ofcourse. When I first started with the dealer they told me full sticker plus $5000 market adjustment. I told them to adjust that back down to a reasonable price or they could keep it. They came back down to earth thankfully.

They had a SRT8 on the floor for $10K over sticker and some guy actually bought it while I was there. He told me he priced around and that was a good deal. I guess to him it was anyway.

Any Chrysler/Dodge dealer who is playing the "market adjustment" game right now needs to stop and reconsider how much crack they're smoking. It's good you stuck to your guns.

The fella that bought that SRT may experience some pain when sitting for a while. I've heard a special pillow during the recovery period helps. . .

I would actually like to see some more pics. So one on the road the other night. I revved my engine and he didn't rev back. Then I realized it was a v-6 . I don't know about the rt decal but the rest of the design is cool. I do wish they would have brought the braklights across the rear.

Nice Chally! Congrats on the new ride.

Not a sin to post a Chally here or to buy one.

Now if you had bought a Honda...

Best of luck to you and your Chally!!!

I never got into naming my cars, I just call them the Challenger, the Ram, or the Road Runner. I grew up in a car famaily and nobody ever named their cars. Have no idea why.
