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.

No matter what "deal" they give you on the sticker price,don't let them screw you on the add ons(alarm system,Scotch Guard,paint sealer,extended warranty,ect)Also your interest rate on financing.My wife and I got 2.9% APR,that's saving lots of $$$ over the term of the loan!

Well my dad got the price from 38000 to about 33000 plus free window tint.

Got mine in early 09 for $500 over invoice. They *thought* I was going to settle for the $1000 cash for using a local CU, but when they brought the paperwork out, I was like "yeah, I never agreed to a price" and I gave the guy a figure based on my intel. He was gone for what seemed like eternity, but came back and said OK. He acted like I was pushing the envelope, but I was unphased, as I got the car at the price I wanted.

Your problem right now is a supply problem. However, I don't think the demand is as elastic as they want to believe. Too many gremlins lurking in the economic bushes right now. I'd bide my time. Chrysler is hiring, so they must think things are on the up-and-up.

My 11 R/T Classic was $34700 with TTT. That equates to 500 over dealer invoice with $1000 cash back. If it wasn't for the extra they gave me on my trade I would have walked. KBB siad my Magnum was worth $9K on dealer trade and I pushed them to $13K. I did ok, but I do agree, that I think there are deals to be had in the near future.

Hi folks, I'm looking to grab a 2011 RT Classic, trading in my 05 Mustang for it, finally found a challenger with the options I want within three hours drive, just trying to figure out appropriate pricing now. I've gathered from this, and related car buying info that good, usually reachable price should be around invoice minus rebates minus, say half of holdback. Does that sound about right?

Also, I'd prefer to have it shipped to a dealer much closer to me than the one it's at, would that impact price?

And, finally, what would be the most accurate list of invoice prices for the cars and individual items? In looking around, the lists I've seen tend to vary between themselves, or lack an option or two, or have an MSRP total that differs from what I get building the car on Dodge's website, which makes me a bit leery of them.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Picking up my 27M next Saturday. Fully loaded 6-speed with navi, sunroof , STP...the whole nine yards. Looking at about $33,557. I'm happy with that price.

Go to Edmunds dot com and build your car.. The Invoice pricing on Edmonds is exgtremely close to the real thing... the only difference is that Chrysler charges the dealers $22.00 for 8 gallons of gas.

I just picked up a loaded classic in Seattle for dealer invoice plus the $1000 CB...

27M classic package
730N media center
power sunroof
STP
Sound Group II
8 gallons of gas

good luck!

Just bought a 2011 R/T a couple of weeks ago. I am in the LA area of
CA, and I paid $750 under invoice, plus incentives of 1K bonus cash,
and $500 loyalty cash, as I was a Grand Cherokee owner. They are dealing under invoice on them here. Sticker was 34285, invoice 32744, and I paid
31994 plus 1500 in incentives brought it down even more. Overall a very good deal.

 

[naprestsleep]

Is the $1000 incentive good until the end of the month? What are the guidelines for qualifying for loyalty cash? I have a Dakota, had it 6+ years but bought it used.

I think the 1000 bonus cash was good to 5/31- but then they usually renew it. I am unsure about the loyalty cash, that was on a postcard Chrysler sent to me.. it might only be available if you bought new. I bought the GC new in 2005.

I did the Consumer Reports "Build and Buy" program, and that got me the best quotes from 3 dealers.

 

[The Wombat]

Just got two quotes. One was $200 under invoice and the $1,000 incentive (38,075 MSRP down to a $34,905 purchase price).

Second was invoice plus incentive. So about $200 more.

I'm hoping maybe I can get a few bucks more off, but I'm not counting on it. I think I may have to pull the trigger at this point. Inventory is getting kind of slim to get exactly what you want.

Unless you're paying in full up front, I wouldn't get too worked up about $1,000 or so. Is $20/month going to have any impact on your life? My guess is probably not.

Hey, it's only money - you'll make more next week

 

[AZ MSCL]

Dealer invoice or less. If you're going to special order a car, expect to pay more.

 

[redraptor]

The '11 I'm looking at: Toxic Orange, 6 speed, 3.92 axle, 20" wheels, no stripe or sunroof.
$32,984
1,979 tax
_147 lic/fee
35,110 total
- 1,000 rebate
__________
$34,110 total (wife hits roof)

Personally, I don't want to pay more than 30k out the door.:dunno:

I don't know how picky you and what you want in general BUT there are quite a few of left over brand new 2010 R/T's. I drove two states away to get my car. With the internet and all the different search engines...I found my dream car for the price I wanted.

 

[Dave1442397]

How much of a difference is there between the '10 and '11 model? I'd be looking for the STP package with a six-speed, and I'm not so concerned about the other options. I'd love the light blue color they had, but I guess it's not available now.

I found this thread useful for comparing years.

Not picky. I've looked online at 2010's and they're advertised higher than the 2011's because (as I'm told) of how they're optioned, classic or not. I guess I don't have to worry about depreciation.:notallthere:

I paid 750 under invoice for my 2011. I did the Consumer Reports "buy and build" program. Good price, but not many dealers are in the program. In the LA area I had to pick from 3 dealers' inventory. Luckily, I found what I wanted. The incentives were in addition to this price.

The best deal I was offered on a new 2010 was $5,500 off of MSRP. That was for an automatic and I think you can do better for a manual.
