I really don't think they are going after the average 'Joe' right now. What they are doing is screwing the hardcore fans with too much money. Like someone above posted, in a while there will be tons on the lots, but the dealers still got those willing to pay.
If I was selling something in demand, I would get as much as I could for as long as I could- once sales dropped to less than I would make if I sold more for less, I would drop the price.
supply/demand is all- they are testing the market for dummies, if it doesn't work, you will soon see many of the cars and at a much lower price.
I guess once people quit paying that mark up they can always take the sign down and charge the
MSRP.
We really like the new challenger but i told the dealer we talked with i dont need the car that bad to pay a mark up i will wait until 2010 or 2011 for the convertible and when the hype is over then i will look at buying one if i dont buy a camaro first.If someone needs one that bad to pay that lind of markup then they have money to burn and i dont so i will wait.

I am considering one to add with the GTO. The dealer from where I purchased my Ram told me they WOULD NOT mark them up. I told them I will believe it when you prove it to me. I wondered in one day when they had one sitting outside. There it was ....MARK UP. I commented to the sales guy.... Well, prove it to me. He said we are ONLY marking them up 5K. For the car I looked at it was at 47K. I said to him..well, that is like sodomizing someone, you say I am going to stick it to you but only go so deep. He had a blank look on his face.
Dealers are only getting so many to start, they will bone you on the few they get because they know some idiot will pay it. My wife wants an automatic so she can drive it. If and when I pull the trigger on one it will be used. Someone else can pay the mark up, gas guzzlers tax, and the immediate hit on depreciation. I don't need one.

Yeh, that's right, even the 6 speed has a gas guzzler tax on it. Yea, GTO! A friend has a black 2009 Challenger ordered, and he locked in the price at MSRP. Wyoming is a wonderful place. Got a buyer for your $100,000 GTO yet?

Yeah that "mark up" is nothing but depreciation. You loose that money the second you walk off the lot. There is no way you could resell that vehicle and recoupe 1 cent of that money. That dealership now has another one for sale and has been sitting there for several weeks. It also has the $25K markup. Next door you can buy a 1 year old Z06 for $10K less and destroy the Challenger.

Nope not yet......I think the right buyer is waiting until the price "appreciates" to 200K.
Did you ever consider going into finance, with that attitude, you would be GREAT at retirement investment!!!!
Or go broke waiting. LMAO
The SAP is in investment, no? After all the ROS on it were outperforming
my 401K. My unique offering was and still is, buy some plastic at the average quarterly market rate without the worries of depreciation before the demand stagnates to the point of no return and I will throw in a car, free. The car is merely the coup de grace. Demand is outweighing supply. I have factored in what the futures market will bear to assist in accurate guessing. Part of the math equates to the figure that was carefully and accurately estimated.

My feelings have peaked and passed for the Challenger. I went to deal for a white R/T with the classic package but delivery could not be promised.
I moved on to liking the Camaro's lines and power options better.
IMO The Camaro is a nicer looking car at all angles.
Jeez. The'll have a glut of them next year and selling at a discount. Patience is the operative word here.
