RE: Magnum SRT8
I got mine at Tuttle-Click in Irvine, CA about a month ago. There were two in stock, and I bought one. Not sure what the inventory is like now.
Like others have experienced, they started by saying they wanted $10K over sticker. I contacted them throught the Internet department, so that number went to $3K. I was ready to walk a few times, and they finally went to MSRP.
Glad that it did work out...I am really happy with the car. Now to decide if I am going to leave it stock, or make some mods.

Interesting about Tuttle-Click. I wanted them to order a silver magnum srt 8 and they quoted me $6,000 over msrp. They let me walk out. I went to Orange Coast Dodge and they went for msrp right away. I now have my 2006 magnum srt 8 for about one week.

The moral of the story is that most (if not all) car dealers have about zero brains. When I was buying mine, they tried to nickel and dime me for $500 over sticker. I told them I was not willing to pay over sticker, no matter what. It took some time for them to see the logic in selling a car to a customer who was in the show room and ready to do a deal, vs. letting me go and buy the car somewhere else. It took me being very clear that if I left I was going to another dealer, and that I would not only not be buying a car from them that day, but any other day. It just doesn't make any sense to me that for $500 they would even consider letting a customer walk.

RE: Magnum SRT8
It's good to hear people being adament and sticking with not wanting to pay over MSRP. I find if ridiculous, but that's what these idiot dealers are trying to get away with. I'll be doing the same thing and just sit and wait until I find one with the right price. I remember they tried the same thing with the Chevy SSR when I first when to check them out. After a couple of months they were calling me almost begging me to purchase one for a significant amount less. Needless to say I was not interested.
