Fellow Canadian's Who Ordered a Hellcat

I was just wondering if anyone has an update on the status of their HC who got a VON when ordered? I ordered July 23 when my dealer call and said he was able to place an order. I called my dealer on Friday and he said no change in status still in B something status. Dealer has been family owned for over 55 years and has a Five Star Status (highest quality service rating awarded by Chrysler Canada), got an email from area rep and said they were going to build 3 HC per month for western Canada with first ones going to Vancouver and with the amount of orders for HC it might take 3 years to get one.I talked to the dealer in Ontario where I bought my Yellow Jacket and said they would get one HC but it would be about a month before they could option it, and he said they would build 50 HC for Ontario. If anyone would like to add to this, true or false, I would appreciate it.

How many people with 95k cash wants to buy a challenger...

No banks will finance 30k over MSRP
And there's the rub. It is only about a 3 month window when they can have this cash grab. By April sticker price will be the norm I think.
Pembina Dodge in Winnipeg just got in the their Sublime green Hellcat. Sold to someone outside of Winnipeg...

Probably won't see the roads for another 4 months till spring...

^ At least. We're lucky to get roads free of salt and sand by May, Haha.
Cdn orders are being picked randomly, so we may get one or may not.
There are also more orders than can be produced for Canada, so some will not get a car
Keep your fingers crossed and hope your number is picked
All true. :werd::crying:

I'm at peace with it now. Took awhile. At least we have a chance where it appears American orders at smaller dealers are pretty much hopeless. :frown:

At least if I don't win the Hellcat Lottery in Canada I get back the price of my Ticket. :grin2:
Honestly, after all of the ups/down, I am at peace as well. And at this point, could really care less if I get one at all.
My enthusiasm is much less than it was 6 months ago
Come March, if no VIN, I'll get my $$ back and move to a C7Z51
I plan to wait until April 8. That will be 8 months since I went BX.

If no VIN by then I will cancel & order a 2016 next winter.
I was told if I ordered one I would not see it till 2016. So I gave up and ordered an SRT 392.

This was confirmed at a recent regional dealers meeting. I understand why they are doing "Random". It just might have been much better PR to let dealers and their customers know this a few months ago.
Don't care anymore, was told not to expect car before 2016 today,cancelling order tomorrow and getting deposit back
My car is built and in "I", should have it in 3 weeks!!!!!

I also live 20 minutes from where they are made. Have spoken to many dealers, some I've dealt with in the past. It's funny, they are frustrated and less optimistic about delivery date today then they were several months ago. I decided to buy a 392 Hemi and will have it in 6 weeks. More than enough for my needs and $20m less.
I wish I coulda found a new 392 hemi in the 40's...coulda saved 20 Grand myself!
I ordered in August and was told Dec22 in early Dec. Car was built yesterday and is now being shipped with Feb 11 delivery date.
Just saw 9 Hellcat Challengers on a transport heading west on the 401 around London Ontario, Sublime, White, Silver and Black cars among them, it was dark out and I was driving so couldn't take a pic.
Rumour (from a good source) has it that if you order a Hellcat Charger today you will get it in 8 weeks

Congrats on your build.......my car is built too and waiting at rail yard to be loaded.

I'll put that theory to the test. I ordered on Jan 19th. So we'll see how accurate that is.

Dealer thought "IF" the order was picked up in the February allocation announcement (March builds), there was a slight chance I might see it by May.

Hemikid, nice to hear someone from SK actually getting somewhere. Where did you order yours and with what options?
