ok guys, need some swaying opinions.. i have an 09 orange 6 speed R/T challenger, practically new with 2500 miles on it, sticker was $36,200. i have been offered $32,500 by the local dealership to trade it in towards a new purple R/T classic, loaded like i want it, with a sticker of $37,410. so i will be paying $5000 out of pocket to get the purple with white stripe. am i crazy?  i see 09's with similar miles on them going for 29-30k on ebay, so the amount i'm being offered isn't the issue. i would pay exactly sticker for the new one, so that's not an issue either. it comes down to how much i like purple versus orange i guess lol. would you pay $5000 to get the color you really want? it's the price of a good paint job i guess. lol. opinions welcome

Id say its worth it. Figure your looking at that for a good paint job as you said, so why not?? Your not only getting a new paint job, your getting 2500 miles less. Try to haggle a bit more maybe?

Yes.........

You live once and it's ticking away every second, if you can swing it, do it.

Personally for me, I keep talking myself out of buying a new challenger and then I'll see an orange one driving down the road and I fall back in love with the idea of buying one.

There are plenty of orange ones around.  I think it was summed up best back in 1970 when Dodge told us the Plum Crazy Challenger is no shrinking violet.

Yes I would go for it,  :yesnod:  but you will not see that color sometime after the new year, and double check if it will come with white stripes.

No s&^t, that is mostly all I see. 

I would dump the orange one in a minute for the Plum Crazy car.  That new blue one out is sweet too.  Good thing I am poor, and do not need to make such decisions.   :icon_smile_big: Good luck Travis.

I just noticed the poll.  Based on how he worded it, looks to me like his mind is already made up...

I like purple over orange, but I voted to keep the orange one. I wouldn't want to spend $5000 & deal with all the BS for a color change.

i think you can do better, as slow as cars are selling now after the clunker program is gone they should be having rebates on everything but the SRT model, your '10 should be a demo only for that mileage so it stills qualifies for the rebate
