i know a few people at dealerships, and they said that even people with gleaming credit arent getting financing for dodge vehicles right now...

 

You don't necessarily have to finance through the dealer though.

 

That just changed. As long as you have about a 625 score you are now considered A credit.

 

I think the change is the government is funding their financing dept. So the are "giving" it away to get the cars and trucks off the lots.

I am going to stop at the dealer tomorrow to see what kind of price and financing I can really get (I am over 625). I will report back.

 

weve thought about it, but i cant make up my mind as to what we need more...a challenger, or a ram...or a 300...then again, the 300 is supposed to get a refresh soon...

 

I want a new Ram bad.

 

Damn thats alittle better than what I got a yr ago... I got the zero percent financing

 

Same boat here.... Do I get a Ram or Challenger. I guess what it comes down to is I would need the SRT Challenger to come close to what I want in terms of a car. Even though they are included in the deals it will still run me 6-8K more than a Ram and still not be 100% (performance wise) where I want the car to be. The Ram I will be happy with by adding some nerf bars and a tonneau. Although I still may ask what I can get a SRT for. Last I looked my dealer had 5 of them on the lot, although I never checked to see how many of those are manuals.

'Bottom line is these deals would have to be super sweet for me to pull the trigger today/this week. My plan was not to buy until Spring 10.

 

her truck isnt made for pulling anything, and the ramcharger is dying (hasnt moved in 2 months). realistically, we could use a truck to tow cars or a horse trailer, but at the same time, id love a sport-oriented truck...even though we have one now, and it doesnt serve much truck purpose. then again, we dont HAVE to tow anything anywhere right now...so then i look to cars, and id love to have an srt8 challenger with a manual, but with the power output from the RT, i would have to think that they have something planned for the 6.1 soon. also, having all 2-door vehicles, it would be nice to have something like an AWD 300 that she could take to the stable and wouldnt be a bore to drive..
