I bought a new car this weekend. I got a 2009 Dodge Challenger. I've already put almost 50 miles on it. I keep looking for excuses to drive somewhere. If I can figure out how to post pics here I will try and post some later in the week.

Holy shit! I thought those things couldn't be had for love nor money. Who did you have to bribe to get one?

More details! Color, options, name?

cheers,
Phil

Dealership her in Athens has a few (very few). They apparently had to make deals with other dealerships (in Florida and Michigan) to get most of them. The one they got from Florida they had to buy like 19 trucks to get it. Apparently the Michigan lot they got the others from is hurting, apparently most of the folks up there prefer to lease (it being a big car area) and Dodge stopped leasing in August so they have a lot of extra inventory.

I actually got what I think was a pretty good deal, MSRP (actually I think they typed it up wrong so I got it for like 10 bucks under MSRP) + the trade in value on my Tundra at the excellent level (it was at best good). Not sure what they actually paid for the car but they claimed it was over invoice since they had to buy it off another dealership. Also got 3 years of oil changes free.
