That is like saying - McDonalds should raise burger prices over their retail @ lunch & dinner because the demand is high.
Sorry, but that idea is wrong.

Will that dealer that was greedy give you more when you trade it in? Nope.

You can find Challengers on lots ready to go. When the 2005 Mustang came out (dealers were greedy then too) you couldn't find a Mustang on a dealers lots for months.

By charging over retail, dealers screw themselves AND the mfg. When Ford brought out the GT, dealer greed set in and they wanted $20K - $50K over retail. Well the cars didn't sell well. So they slowed and then stopped production because demand wasn't there. Demand wasn't there because the dealers inflated the price so much, no one with a brain would buy one.
Look @ Challengers right now. Dealers are doing same thing and they have cars ready to drive off right now. Yes the economy is playing a big part, even more reason to not be greedy.
Put them at retail and the inventory will move.

I agree, and even at retail that is fair for getting the first one on your block....Hell BMW, Mercedes sell at sticker or use to.

i totally agree and i'm in the biz !! Dodge will end up doing the same as they did with the Prowler...ask over list and then they will grow roots...just as Ford did with the T-Bird

Dealer greed. Never ceases to amaze me.
In a few months they will be selling below sticker.

I'm not the franchised dealer my friend, so I don't set the prices. I'm only a broker filling someone's order.

And yes, I agree with you 100%, the prices will come down in a few months or less, but for those who need to have one YESTERDAY, they must pay what the market will bear.

I want a B5 blue Challenger, just like the `70 Challenger I had in high school, back in 1981. Wish I still had it ...... :rolleyes:

Transporter picked it up yesterday. On it's way to Canada.

Thanks, but it was sold before I bought it. A friend of mine is a Dodge dealer, so it wasn't too hard to get one. He also owns a Chevy store, so if I get an order for a Camaro, then sure I'll get one.

correct..and my dealer which is my neihbor who is cool said same thing. He also wants me to trade my F350 for a Cummins 350..I'm not so sure on that at this point.:grinser010:

More towing power, better fuel mileage, bulletproof motor, exhaust brake(on the 6.7)...what's not to like??
