I saw an 08 R/T at one of the dealers that got axed. The sticker was in the $34k-$35k range and they were selling it for $25k. Someone who qualifies for the Owner Loyalty Rebate would save another $1000. Given that, I'd say that $31,900-$32,250 might be about the best deal you might get. Also, there are some significant improvements made to the 2009 R/T's worthy of consideration. I got $8,100 off a 2008 SE. Supposedly any more than that and the dealer would have been better off paying Chrysler to take it back. Good Luck!

This seems to be a pretty decent deal, actually.
 
For example, a new '09 R/T with protection group stickers for $34,100.00 Taking into consideration the current incentives, it would be possible to get the '09 for $28,600. That equates to a roughly 16% discount.
 
The '08 you are looking at is brand new. The dealer is taking $9,237 off, which equates to a 22% discount. You are receiving a higher discount than you would get for a comparably equipped '09. Chrysler does not provide the dealer with any additional incentives to sell the '08. Additionally, it doesn't matter what the price is on used '08s. The car is new and never titled. As with any car, it doesn't become used until the car is registered and titled to the first owner.
 
There reaches a point where sometimes it does not make financial sense to buy a leftover. The manufacturers stop incentives on the outgoing model year and start discounting the current models. When that happens, the dealers are stuck with the car and will try to get as much as they can for it. If you don't care that it is an '08 and that it will depreciate substantially as soon as you sign the papers, you will be getting a highly optioned new car at a great price. If you are paying cash, and plan to keep the car for several years, it is an even better deal.
 
If you are financing the car, and don't intend to keep it more than 3-4 years, you will never be able to beat the depreciation unless you put at least 30% down.
 
Is this R/T an AWD or Daytona?
