I know its been a while since anyone posted here, but I was hoping someone could share their Challenger buying or shopping experience with me.
I'm looking to get an R/T or an SE, and I would like to see what people have been experiencing out their.
 
Thank you for your help.

I have an 2008 SRT. It's great. I love the car. That's the good news.
 
The bad news was that getting it was not a fun thing. I had my name on 7 lists for the car and then when they came in they were charging more than sticker price. I would guess that by now it's a lot easier to get one. I've been to a number of dealerships that have the SE and RT so I would imagine that it's easier to get one now. I would check all the dealerships in your area and if they have what you want, I would get it there. If you order one, good luck. Depending on what happens to Chrysler, the order might not get through. My order (at the dealership where I eventually got it) was placed at 9AM in December 2007 ( first day to order the car)and I didn't get it until July 2008.
 
As of today, It looks like the deal with fiat will go through, but we'll see by the end of the week. If Chrysler goes through bankruptcy, who knows what will happen.

I've briefly chatted with a couple salesman via email and both were saying list price, so no deals yet, even for a used 2008 with few miles. I'm waiting for employee pricing. Here in Orlando Florida dealers do still have a few on the lots but they aren't dealing. I'll wait.

That's been my experience as well here in Buffalo New York. What's frustrating, besides the rumored death of Chrysler, is that none of the dealers in my area are taking delivery of any new Challengers.

Yep, my salesman also said the same, Chrysler isn't making any more Challengers yet. He did say they expect to get a fully loaded blue Classic R/T shortly and that most of the Classics will be the blue color.

Wow, he told you theiy're not making any more Challengers? Is he stretching the truth a bit, thinking about plant pauses, or did they totally stop?
I like the Classics, I just am not a big fan of the 20 inch wheels.

Wow, do you think that's true or is he confusing it with factory pauses?
I'm not surprised they're not making them, but its hard to believe they would not produce any more Challengers since they are one of their best selling cars.

I believe he meant the stoppage was only temporary and that things should pick up shortly. But he talked like a typical salesman, trying to get me to buy now, saying even when things pick up it will still be slow. I told him I'll still wait for the employee pricing. I gave him all my contact information and surprisingly I haven't heard from him since.

I'm not surprised you haven't heard from him. Even though the economy is slow and Chrysler is in trouble the Challengers seem to be holding their own. I've gotten an initial internet quote for $1500 off MSRP on a base SE with sunroof, but I haven't really talked to the dealer yet and wouldn't be surpirsed if some part of that deal didn't apply to me. Forget about it on R/Ts.

There are a few fairly recent posts in the Challenger Prices Paid & Buing Experience forum.
