Talking Dealer Poser Car!

An unscruplous dealer has created a "limited edition- 1 of 7" Dodge Charger- a 2.7L SRT-6! No mods- just cosmetics.

What a joke. I hope no one does this the Challenger to soil the SRT brand!!

Re: Dealer Poser Car!

My sister's boyfriend got himself a white Charger R/T the other week. My sister ended up telling me that he couldn't find a white one other than the one the dealer found that had a "stripe package" on it. The first thing I thought was "oh man, the dealer probably screwed him".

First thing I did was ask him how much he paid for it and it wasn't much, I tihnk $7/month increase on his lease. But still, all the dealer did was take a white R/T and slap some Daytona style HEMI hood decals on and quarterpanel decals that said HEMI instead of DAYTONA.

I'm not sure how they put it to him and if they advertised it as something extremely special, but I hope not. It's fine for dealers to add some cool aesthetics to the car, but as long as they're up front about what they are in terms of "We, the dealer, put some decals on" not "It's a cool limited edition model!" I would almost rather they offer it as a package the buyer can add on instead of putting it on the car beforehand to jack the price.

But yea, this seems to be a popular thing to do with "certain" dealers.

In the dealer that my sister's boyfriend bought from's defense, the stripe package does look pretty cool on it. White charger + black decals. He let me take it for a spin and wail on it -- first time ever in a Charger. Very nice car and made me that much more excited to get out of my V6 240HP FWD and into my new '09 SRT8 6-speed

What you describe is bad enough, but at least it was an R/T with a 5.7L Hemi. The Charger "SRT-6" is a base 2.7L that will get its doors blown off by most cars on the road! Can you imagine a ricer telling his friends that he killed an SRT Charger? Then, all of his friends will want to take on the SRT Challengers. That's when it is "back to school time!"

That pisses me off, I own one of the real SRT-6 Crossfires and it's a beautiful car.
Chrysler only made a little more than 2900 of them making them pretty rare.

Re: Dealer Poser Car!

that is absolutely incredible, yet so typical of a dealer these days. I wonder if that would have to be fraud of some kind?
