Wait for few more months, 2009 model will be out on sale then and I don't think dealers will do much of mark up, especially since they didn't even sold all 2008 models.

6 months ago, a dealer in the area said all the 2008 models were spoken for, now he has 3 in the showroom for sale. Apparently there have been some cancellations due to the price of gas, economy, whatever. I beleive by next year the 2009 models will be discounted, especially with the new Camaro coming out.

I saw two Challengers last week at a car show. One parked next to a Shelby GT.
As an aside. One of the things I like about this forum is it is not occupied by childish brand bigots. Rather, most seem to be able to openly admire another car besides the Mustang.
It's a little agonizing to have to hear some people on other forums rant and rave with critisism about the Challenger in order to justify their purchase of something different.
Back on topic, the Challenger looked really nice next to the Shelby GT. Bigger, "but not at all OMG it's huge". Very large trunk, roomy back seat, so there is some dividend in it's larger size.
The owner had a time slip on the window alongside the sticker. The car ran a 13.26 with only 1,000 miles on the clock.
Not too shabby.

The SE is a 6 cyl and you certainly don't want one of those. The middle ground R/T with the 5 spd manual or the SRT8 with the Viper 6 spd manual are the ones that will be worth something. Right now I am sticking with my Mustang and my Saturday Night Special.....

My only problem with a Challenger (other than it's too heavy) is Chrysler's transmission.
I had 4 speed auto stick in my Intrepid which lasted barely 100,000 miles.

Challenger prices on Puerto Rico wtf!!
I was on a Mopar forum and the guy's/gal's there checked and, you wouldn't believe this:
$72k!!!
And a doctor paid over $80k to buy the first one on the island, a red one if I recall!!! The dealer markup here is insane!!
Same happened when the 05 Mustang, the PT Cruiser, Caliber, New Civic and New Beetle came here. It's just hype. Then the prices come down after a while, even offer discounts for them.
