The best offer I've gotten so far for a 2011 R/T (27F) is about $1100 over invoice. This is from a Dodge dealer in south central Texas.

I'm biding my time as best I can. Maybe by July prices will drop a bit, or incentives will pick up, or both.

The information I have makes it difficult to predict with any degree of certainty what will happen, so I'm mostly waiting and hoping.

edit: I was incorrect in my original statement insofar as I used the final price (i.e. after taxes, title, registration/license fees, and other fees) when I compared it to the standard invoice pricing. The final "out-the-door" price I calculated after the aforementioned fees was just under $33K. This is for a 2011 R/T (27F) 6-man, sunroof, Super Track Pack, and 20" wheels. The invoice price before all of the fees is about $1200 below invoice. Mea culpa.

Is $20/month going to have any impact on your life? My guess is probably not.

My feeling during the buying process was that it wasn't so much about how many pennies per month I was saving -- it was about feeling like I was getting a good (reasonable) deal, that the seller was willing to compromise, and not feeling like I was being misled or deceived.

To me those were reasonable expectations, regardless of what the final cost of the car actually was.

Only one (local) dealer did all of the above well, and that's where I wound up buying the car (2011 R/T 6-spd, $200 below invoice).
