Just wait until the R/T and SE go into full production as 2009 models. The reason they are getting marked up is because stupid people are getting their panties into a bunch and ordering them when production isn't even into full swing yet and driving up the demand, its all a bunch of hype. Besides the R/Ts come in more colors and just seem all around more appealing to me than the $40k priced SRTs. It's just like when Pontiac brought out the Solstice there were plenty of GM dealers marking those up at least here in Iowa for the same reason dealers are marking up the Challengers. If you really want one that bad have some patience.

 

The SE Challenger will be out as a 2009 Model and is a base car with a 250hp 3.5l High Ouput V6 thank you very much. Dodge will have to be competitive price wise however to challenge the mustang.

 

This is one reason I decided to keep my Hemi Ram until the 10 model year. While I still lean towards a new Ram, the Challenger is in play, and by 10, all this will be over. Just wait. Let the ones who pay extra work out the kinks.Then buy one resonable, and most likely, with more HP.

Hi everyone, I am a sales consultant at a Dodge Dealer in INDY. We have taken 5 orders on the "08 SRT-8 Challengers at sticker price. We have been allocated 3 that have progressed and received Vin numbers. I personally have sold 2 of the scheduled Challengers. Our best guess is that we may be able to move the others to "09 orders that we can expect by fall. The three orders that progressed were in order the way we received them. We do not have a date that we can accept "09 orders at this point but I will let you know when we do.
