i just did it real quick in the pricing calculator here on Edmunds and came up with an invoice of $25,062 with destination.
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
My car is in Miami at the huge lot next to the airport. It was built on 10/21/05 and arrived on 11/08/05. Now we wait for it to be delivered to the dealer on a transport truck. They have no control over when this happens, and they can't call, or go pick it up. If they call, it will be delayed even longer.
Jeffrey Fair has been giving me updates thru e-mail all this time. We tracked the car on its journey thru Danville KY, Jacksonville FL, and now Miami.
I know where the Ford trucks come in and that was a great help when we bought one of those. I had a connection that worked at the rail yard. When new trucks came in, he'd let me walk through, look at the stickers for one that matched my needs, and as soon as I found one that precisely met my specs, I looked to see where it was going, and went directly to THAT dealer and made an offer. Yes, I know the dealers will "find you one" but they play alot of games with that program (like telling you about the ones THEY want you to buy) Some make a big fuss out of it and try to talk you into something that isn't quite what you wanted. There are also alot of other issues that come up when they start trading between dealers. Too many people get involved and everyone wants a cut, and that diminishes the buyers bargaining power.
Good luck. I will be checking back to hear about your new car. I may try to get a similar deal here in Jax, if not I will be calling your man Jeff!
I have taken deliver on 11/15/05 for less than what I expected. I ordered the car and figured it would cost $26084.23. The price of the car went up slightly, but there were extra rebates thrown in at the end. My final price OTD was $25,864.07.
So yes, the deal went thru better than expected. Thanks Monarch Dodge of Lauderdale Lakes FL.
I only have 150 miles on my car so far. I just filled it up and reset my trip odometer. The V6 doesn't have the fancy computer with the MPG and compass. It also doesn't have a garage door opener. That's a special electronics group option (AFC) found in the RT package which costs $580. I miss the MPG computer and compass because I had it in my last car. But I can figure out my mileage by seeing how many gallons I use at each fill up. Ask your dealer if they can add option AFC to an SXT. The Trip button on the V6 cycles between odometer, trip odometer, and temperature outside.
Just had Lo-Jack early warning installed, really neat idea. They give you a little black key remote with no buttons. If the car is moved, and the remote is not around (towed or stolen), it e-mails and calls you.
The manual said brief full throttle accelleratons contribute to a good break in. So this morning I nailed it on the highway and hit 100 with no problem. I'd say the SXT will top out around 115. Nothing wrong with that for the family people, that's who the SXT is made for. It's plenty fast enough, yet people continue to rag comparing it to the hemi.
27795.The dealer took off 1300 of sticker,plus I had 500 rebate,and they gave me good price on my 02SXT Intrepid.The
last couple years Chrysler cars have better value than GM,
and Ford.The Gm cars seem to ride better when there is 1or2
people,4or more you will get a bad ride where the Charger keeps it ride.I had 2LH cars that rode great with 5or 6 people.AS for fleet or police I think you will see them start coming around.I worked on police cars for 23years,and that is one reason I been A mopar man my whole life.I saw how each manufactor designed things and Chrysler I think had the best designs.As for a muscle car I guess the jury is still out,but I owned a 68 road runner and I would call the new Charger a modern day muscle,it has the looks.
I've been shopping for the Charger RT up in Northern California and have not found a dealer willing to go below MSRP. I was hoping some of you Charger "brothern" out there might clue me in on any dealers you know of that are working with the customer from Invoice up in price.
Thanks!

If MSRP is $31,890 I will sell the Charger RT to you for $30,747 minus $1000 Chrysler financial cash = $29,747 plus tax, title, license fees.
What dealer are you refering to/recommending?
Drove the Charger RT today - that was a bast! Lots of guts, clean styling and a good price.
But then when we visited a Pontiac dealer to drive the GTO, they blasted Dodge for putting bad transmissions in the Charger. Rumored to have lots of trouble, etc.
Talked to a transmission man today, too. He hasn't seen lots of problems with the Chargers. Was the Pontiac guy just blowing smoke or has anyone heard of transmission problems with the Charger?
I received an Internet quote for a Dodge Charger with the Road and Track performance group. The MSRP was $34,465 and he was selling it to me for $32,916 before any rebates so he was taking off $1500 for me. I still think this is approximately $1000 over invoice so I'm trying to work him for a better deal.
Anybody out there paying invoice for a Charger RT?
You have to take their financing if you take your money....which means you loose as much as you gain...depending on the loan, natch.
My cost for a Charger RT (with 63 miles) before TT&L was $25,690, which is $2,043 less then invoice ($27,733) according to Edmunds for a Charger RT with no options.

Sounds like more the deal I was looking for here in California. Unfortunately, I can't buy one from out of state unless it's used with at least 7500 miles on the OD. I'm thinking, however, that if a dealer in Tucson can do it, then one here in CA can. Does anyone else know of a dealer in CA?
Thanks again.
Ok, so I will have to live with an automatic and RWD, but tooling around Colorado in snow storms proved no problem for the Charger. Lastly, it's, yes, I'll say it....it's American, gulp....but what a great car!
I've been looking for an RT with the Road/Track package to try the Hemi with those cool seats. I'm sort of afraid to find one....I'm worried I might have to buy it.
Cheers to Chrysler for a great product!

Much Thanks. :confuse:
FWIW, Automobile Magazine just wrapped up there 30k mile, year long test of a 300C and had ZERO problems and returned an average of 19 MPG with the Hemi. Pretty good considering how hard car mags use their cars.
A Charger SXT V6 is still the #1 car on our list to replace our current Mazda.
In any event, my biggest concern with the R/T is the visibility issue. I've read the various car mag reviews which identify visibility as an issue, but I want to hear from those of you who have driven a Charger on this issue. With 2 young kids in my near future, I've got to be somewhat concerned with safety (and visibility falls in that safety category). Basically, would you feel comfortable driving the R/T with 2 young kids in the back seat.
first concern was the A-pillar.After driving it for awhile
you get use to it.You just make adjustments.The charger is a great car with the 5 star ratings which shows its a safe car.I'm very happy with the Charger.
Good Luck.
