Fiesta Dodge has been in San Antonio for over 20 years. We are active in the community and sponsor many local organizations. We also provide a top-notch service facility and shuttle service for our customers.

I have been selling Dodge for the past 6 years and have loved every minute of it. I have been certified all years and have been Masters Certified for two of those. I also have been Salesman of the Year (volume based) twice. I enjoy getting people the right car for them and their family. I am far from the "salesman" stereotype. I always say "If I wasn't selling them, I would be fixing them."

I own a 2004 SRT-4 and have the Stage 3R kit on it as well as the Stage 3 coilovers, a ported intake and throttle body, and 3" turbo back with side exit. I anxiously await the 2009 Challenger. I love muscle cars and this car oozes muscle. I will be holding off until 2010 to see if there is a convertible. If not, a black hardtop with the 5.7, MAYBE a 6.4 if it becomes available.

Well, I look forward to helping out members of the community. I have sold many SRT-4s on SRTforums.com and look forward to taking part in this site also. Feel free to ask me any questions. I always have my flame suit on - so let it rip if you fell the need to vent on a salesperson.

Great to have ya Fred. Its good to have a little competition between our forum dealers. You seem like a fine salesman, and as helpful as any i have seen. Give us some pricing info as soon as you can.

i figure that people will still want to deal with a local dealer. I don't mind some competition. I mean, really, if you can do business with a reputable dealership in your area, go for it.

I am here to help those that don't have a dealer they can trust.

Thats great Fred. There are not many dealers that can be trusted anymore. Most just tell you what you want to hear, and fill in the voids later when it doesnt go through. I would have contacted you on ordering a 2009 because youre much closer than the one i ordered from, but i already put my order in.

Hi Fred
We understand that there is a ban on selling 08 Challengers to Canadians, do you know if this extends to the 2009 model?

I have not heard of a ban. Just title it somewhere in the states and take it over. My mom did that with her Grand Caravan. You just have to add daytime running lights to your order or have them installed.

Now, I am a loooong way from Canada and might be talking out of my butt, but (what, what? ) I guess I will have to say I really do not know - but I will try to find out.

Well if anything happens to your order, let me know. Good luck to you and enjoy your Challenger!

One of the big issues is that as soon as its registered in Canada the warranty is void on some cars. I've heard from a number of sources that the Challenger is one of them.

Also, its not a customs issue, neither country cares where I buy a car or when it crosses the line as long as its made in North America. Its the car companies that are blocking the movement of cars, for certain models as they see fit.

I have some very close friends who've gone down to the states and bought new cars and brought them back without any hassle and with the warranty remaining in full effect. The Challenger and some other models with some other manufacturers are being blocked by either the manufacturer refusing to provide the paperwork and/or voiding the warranty.

btw, I got a pm from Fred that echoed the same info I got from other dealers. no warranty and the car would have to be registered in the US then registered as a used car in Canada.
