This is ignorate if DCX only makes that many and they set on showroom floors with 10,000 dollar dealer markups on them then that is were they will stay as the Barrett Jackson buyers flood the dealerships to buy them. I will buy a corvette or porsche before I spend 40 grand on a dodge challenger.....
Out of curioisty I went to the Dodge site last night and built an R/T Charger just to get an idea about pricing. The R/T starts at a little over 30K. You don't get many choices but you can easily hit 35k with a few clicks of the mouse button. The SRT starts at 38k.
Granted some really savvy buyers may beat these prices but it gives you a point of departure when you think about a new car two years down the road. Factor in inflation and potential mark up and well, you get the picture. Bottom line is forget about sub 30k for this puppy. Of course a hefty down payment or a good trade will help out quite a bit.
