Hubby got me a new car! It's an '08

[68chrgrwife]

Ok ok so we all know that the new "Charger" is not a real Charger, but I got one anyways.....  It is the metallic blue (it looks charcoal gray/black in some light) No, it's not a hemi!  We will be making it into a Daytona clone...we are naming it Dayclona.....even the Daytona graphic will say Dayclona.....I love it.  I have to say it has a nice smooth ride and smells good too...LOL  MMMMMM new car sent...gotta love it...can't get that in a first, second or third gen.  hahahaha.  I bought it with 7 miles on it, so from the factory onto a truck, off the truck and onto the lot.  We specifically picked this car for that reason.  We looked at a silver one but it had over 100 miles on...test driven car......yuck.  Well, here are a few pics......

[sick dawg]

Nice car, ENJOY!

[resq302]

Good luck with the Magnum.  Oops. I mean charger.   Seriously though, I hope you have better luck with your dodge than I did with my 2005 Ram.  What a piece of crap that was.

[Ponch ®]

Congrats! You'll love the car. It's a 3.5, right? 

At some point you'll have to come out to some of the SoCal LX outings and hang out!

BTW - is it me or are more and more people buying new Chargers here? We should start our own little "clique" 

[dodgecharger-fan]

Nice! Welcome to the Gen-6 club!


to all the haters.

I have to say it has a nice smooth ride and smells good too...LOL  MMMMMM new car sent...gotta love it...can't get that in a first, second or third gen.

I just love the smell of the old cars but hey that's just me....

Enjoy your new car!!

[Charger1973]

I dont care what name it has.  They look like nice cars, I just wouldnt want the payments.  I bet its fun to drive though.   

[ITSA426]

Enjoy it.  I still like mine.

[68chrgrwife]

thanks..it a great car.....

tell me about the LX club here in San Diego..I'd love to come hang out...

and yeah it is a 3.5L...Sorry no Hemi....

With the lifetime warranty & free tires it can't be beat.  Payments really aren't that bad and we had to add some of the Honda (we were upside down on it) to it.  But otherwise...NOT BAD!

can't wait to upgrade her and take her out.....The kids and I named her Flo after the car from CARS.....(all our cars have CARS names...LOL our Chevy truck is MACK! the Honda was Sally, the other chevy truck was Mater, and if we had gotten the red Avenger we were looking at it would have been Lightning McQueen).

Awesome!!  Anthony is a good squid.  Car looks great and you're keeping it in the big 3.
I like the plans on the mods to a Dayclona so keep us updated.
Did you do the $2.99 deal or take the rebates?

Chris, real nice picture by the way.

I like old car smell as well

We took the rebates, because they were better and the crap you have to go thru to get the $2.99 gas was ridiculous.  You have to have a major credit card (we don't own one and don't want too), it takes 6 weeks to activate (gonna fill up at least 4 times by then), and like I said better rebate $2,500 vs. $500.

Chris...I took your lead and kept the window sticker...especially when we do the conversion to prove it started as a SE plus car!  LOL  We are such cheap skates...huh!

[Shakey]

Very nice - congratulations!

[68chrgrwife]

After I wash down Bumblebee I will get a side by side pic of the two cars.....

[runningman]

Nice, those cars are starting to grow on me a little.  Did you get an employee discount?  Here are some of the details on the 2.99 gas deal.  You do have to have a major credit card and it does take like 6 weeks to activate but you are only allotted 12K miles per year (figured on the gas mileage of the vehicle you are buying/leasing) so that probably wouldn't last you the whole year anyways.

Check out below the savings you could receive. For example, based on a mileage estimate of 17 mpg and a yearly allotment of 708 gallons of fuel (2,125 gallons over total three-year program period) you would save:

If gas prices climb to Annual savings Savings over entire three-year program period
$3.50/gal $361 $1,084
$3.75/gal $538 $1,615
$4.00/gal $715 $2,146
$4.25/gal $892 $2,668

Available miles per year based on a maximum number of gallons which varies depending on model. VISA®/MASTERCARD credit card account required. Allow 4-6 weeks for activation. Excludes small fl eet accounts, SRT,® Chrysler Crossfi re, Dodge Sprinter, Challenger, Viper, Ram Chassis Cab and Jeep Wrangler, and all other offers.

Select Program Offer
$2.99 guaranteed fuel card for up to 3 years
Offer valid with up to 87 octane regular unleaded fuel, E85 fuel or diesel fuel only, depending upon purchased vehicle*
Maximum gallons are allocated and limited for usage on a yearly basis

which is a total joke if you really do the math.. let's say gas stays at $4 a gallon for all 3 years.. you save $2146. now just on the ram for example.. the cash allowance right now is $5500.. so you're losing $3400 up front for the 2.99 gas deal IF it stayed at $4 for 3 years.. if it's less it's even worse.. PLUS if you finance $30k instead of $24,500 for that same vehicle because you didn't take the rebate, that's a few hundred more you'll pay in interest over the 6-7 year loan because you financed a higher amount.. only a retard would take the $2.99 gas deal. but it is an excellent move on chrysler's part

[elanmars]

does that gas card work on the new challengers? 

[Silver R/T]

I'd get a refund on that one

[runningman]

There are some vehicles that offer the 2.99 gas and up to a 3,000 rebate.  Not sure which ones though

[Ponch ®]

i think SRT's are excluded, just like with every other Chrysler/Dodge promotion (Lifetime Drivetrain Warranty, etc...)

And since all Challengers (till later this year) are SRTs....

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Ahh shizzy! More new Charger owners to join the club....what has this world come to?

They're cool looking cars and everyone seems to finally be coming around to them...

I have to admit I wasn't a huge fan at first, but I quickly got over it and now I think I'm in love with the SRT8s. 

Nice car 68chrgrwife!   

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I chose the 3k rebate on mine for the same reason......the $2.99 deal didnt add up for me.  It was wiser to take the rebate....it was either/or in my case

[68chrgrwife]

yeah the challenger and the SRT cars are void

[The70RT]

Congrats.........somebody really loves you

its either the cash or the gas......not both

[Brock Samson]

if you really want a deal - buy a Crossfire, they're selling the remainders here for $12 K & i think they were $30 + K a couple years ago...  that's more then half off... i forget what the mercedes SLK version cost but it's alot more than that.

[TruckDriver]

 

[Back N Black]

Congrats  I'm seriously thinking about getting a new charger.

[magnum]

congrats hope you enjoy it as much as i did my 06

[keepat]

Congrats on your new Charger! Love the color and its great starting with only 7miles!

I am not sure if this link will work (employee website) but there are a few select vehicles in which you can receive a rebate plus the gas card.  There is also a bunch more info about leases and what not.  This may also only apply to certain states.  Some of the deals are employee only but I think some may apply to the general public as well.

Not gonna wait for over a year and I couldn't afford one........even then

Oh and if you can notice the UPS truck in the back ground...it drove by 6 times after I took hubby's car cover off......LOL

[MichaelRW]

Another one crosses over to the dark side.  Just kidding! Nice car.

[69charger2002]

the 68 looks sweet. sexy lines.. low.. sleek.. if the 08 even looked like a distant cousin i'd be ok with it

Not on the bandwagon here yet either.  I applaud supporting Mopar and if you like it that's terrific, but I don't think I'll ever "come around" to them.

  with the last 3 posts

[1969chargerrtse]

I was going to write it's better to have a Charger of any style than no Charger at all.  But then I remembered those little 2.2 Charger like things and changed my mine.  At least the new Charger looks and acts like a Muscle car.

That is a nice 68.  Sorry Just cant warm up the the New STYLE,  Glad your happy with YOUR car.... That is what matters.

[moparknighthawk]

Very nice Charger.  The color you got is called Steel Blue Metallic Pearl .  I have always liked that color.  Enjoy it!
