All the comments being posted are effin HILARIOUS!
I've always found it funny when people complain about a business making a profit when the demand is there! What's especially funny is that for the most part dealers will negotiate on almost ANY vehicle.... Hence MSRP!
MSRP = manufacturer's
SUGGESTED retail price!
This same MSRP is what allows you maggots to get a discount until dealers start dropping like flies!
And to whomever posted the "that's why people buy Camrys/Accords"....
LAUGHABLE!
Yeah.... And I like to compare a Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel Quad-cab 4X4 with a dump bed and snow-plow package to a Dodge Dakota 4X2 regular cab!
Sure... there just like each other...
only different!
A Camry buyer or an Accord buyer is a COMPLETELY different buyer than a SRT-8 Challenger buyer! Challenger is a halo vehicle, plain and simple...
GET OVER IT! It is NOT a conservative econo-box. You will have your chance one day at getting a lower price so quit complaining about the markets willingness to pay a premium at vehicle inception.... especially when the vehicle has garnered as much fan-fare as Challenger!
To the people complaining...... There's really only one of two issues you're dealing with....
1. Too cheap to pony up at inception.
2. Unable to afford at inception.
Figure out which one it is, move on, and stop hating on those that can/will afford the car and the dealerships!
p.s.
The dealerships that agreed on a price, in writing, and took a deposit then pulled their offer off the table upon realizing the greater potential... That's WRONG. I don't agree with that... For the rest though... Good for them!
And to clarify... A vehicle with a VON does NOT mean it will be built. A dealer can order 50 and get VONS for all, however, the allocation may only allow 4.... Guess what... You don't have a true order! That's NOT the dealer's fault!
