I just got the 2014 SXT challenger, and after looking at the 2015 model and looking at all the pics, i feel like I should have waited. I am thinking about trading it in maybe around February and getting the 2015 RT model. What do you guys think, would this be a good move or should I wait?

Just wait. Your first year of ownership will be the worst as far as lost value. If you still feel the same in a year you could trade used for used.

It's natural to want the newer shiner version, but remember there will always be a newer shiner one. I'd hold on for a year or two before trading up. You'll probably lose a little if you upgrade right away, but that's for you to decide if it's worth it.

There are things about the 15' that I like...

And things I don't. You can keep trading every year, as the cars generally get better. But that would not be feasible for most people. Those little improvements are generally "tweaks." Not a big deal. Keep what you got.

My guess is to get another SXT with similar options any dealer is going to try to get 10k out of you in a first year trade. If you trade a lot and I do, you have to realize that unless gas prices change significantly you are going to retain considerably more resale value with the Hemi (any of them). If you are bound and determined to trade up wait until some serious inventory is on the ground (Late October 2014 or late November 2014 at the earliest) and come in ready to buy very close to the last day of the month and stand your ground at a reasonable figure which will be north of 5k. If you can afford it. It's up to you. The limitations of my comments in this post will be this: How hot will the new Challenger sell? It could be early in 2015 before dealer sales slow enough on the SXT and R/T to allow you to get a half way decent deal. Location and think month end or month middle (dealer fast start bonus). These are the always the best time to make the attempt to buy.

I saw the 2015 at Woodward. I like the 2014 taillights a lot more. I wasn't crazy about the hood on the '15, either.
Other opinions may vary.
