What I like is I put nothing down. At the end of my 6 year loan(I know it's too long but)I will have paid over 2000 less than the sticker including interest for the 6 years so I chose to keep my down payment in my bank account. I could save more I suppose but as long as I don't pay sticker I am happy. Sounds stupid but it works in my head LOL besides my wife pays for it since she wanted it, I was happy with our Charger, that car handled sweet for a midsize car....I grew up in the 70's driving so ya midsize to me would be a Challenger a big car would be my 76 Eldorado I had that had a grey leather sofa in the back, man that car if it would have had Tv in the back seat and some of the technology we have now I could have lived in it.

My truck only depreciated 5k on trade in value, 800 private party, and the suggested retail is 2k above what I paid and when I say "what I paid" I'm including TTL, the out the door price.

The only people getting screwed are the ones who thought getting a couple K off sticker was good, always do your homework!
