trade '09 R/T orange challenger +5k for '10 R/T purple challenger?

[69charger2002]

local dealer i know the people. $32k is top dollar for my car, and with a trade in value like that, i can't expect them to come off sticker too. hey they have to make money too. It's gonna be hard for them to mark up an 09 R/T from $32000.. they are doing it for the new car sale more than anything.. and yes by the poll i mostly had my mind made up, but i wanted to see if the majority on here could talk me out of it, and convince me that i was an idiot for basically spending $5k for a color change.. the 2500 miles versus 0 has nothing to do with it. i'll have 2500 on the purple one in the same fashion. it will be nice to have a factory sunroof instead of an aftermarket one, and the remote start and push button start with the computer in the gauges wil be cool too. i am purposely giving up the sound group and the 6 speed as options that i had on the orange one..but judging by the results i'm not crazy, and i'm going in on monday with the order. the weird thing i'll be challenger-less for 6-8 weeks while mine gets built. of course they want the trade now while it's still easier to sell. i'm keeping my custom wheels of course

If you've got the money and the means, then why not.  If it makes you happy, why not.  I'm sure you've got something equally cool you can drive around until your purple machine gets in...

Good to hear you have a dealer willing to work with you on getting you what you really want without trying to screw you to death.

The Purple Chally will be automatic?

Here are some options for stripes....courtesy of Adobe Photoshop....and a wasted evening.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Do it now & dont wait any longer....the more you wait the faster these depreciate... DAMHIK

[tan top]

   looks nice in photoshop  ,  like te stripe delete one , & the aftermarket white longitudinal  
all look great though  

[mauve66]

i didn't pay attention to the automatic part, i don't think i would give up a stick (even if its purple)if i could get one again, the wife is old and never wants one again but i'v been dieing for a stick hot rod since 93

see if they can do a search for a stick with the options your wanting on the new one

[69charger2002]

oh i could order another stick, i am purposely ordering an automatic. i only drive in baton rouge traffic, believe it or not the stick gets old, and as cheesy as this sounds, i really want the remote start that is only available on an automatic.. lastly, the most ridiculous part of all, is of course that the 6 speed adds yet another $995 to the sticker price.. which is just foolish.

by the way Magnumcharger, THANK you SO MUCH for the pics of a purple challenger with the stripe/no stripe options. you have no idea how much that helped!

[mauve66]

boy thats a switch, in the old days it was always cheaper to get a stick

[ACUDANUT]

 I would hold off. New cars are not selling and Dodge needs to come off their over priced stickers alot.

[Ghoste]

That's the dealers though.  The company doesn't (can't) tell them what price to accept on the vehicles.

[69charger2002]

well holding off is two fold, and in the end does me no good. sticker on the challenger is $37410 on the one i want. let's say they gave it to me for $35000.. well you and i both know instead of $32,500 for my orange 09, all of a sudden it's worth $30,100.. which is truthfully all they go for on ebay right now anyway.. the actual dealership where i BOUGHT my 09 across the city only wants to give me $29000 for the challenger to trade in on a new one. i think $32k+ is unbeatable for a USED car that was $36,200 new

[alcusswhen]

would you pay $5000 to get the color you really want?

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. 

Hell thats my problem too, not to mention I'm still making payments on the 07 Charger R/T.

[RJS]

Did I read that right?? You say your Orange one has an aftermarket sunroof???  If so get rid of that time bomb NOW!!!

[69charger2002]

yes i added the sunroof, well it's a "dealer add on" but like everything else it is subbed out nowadays. it was $1200 dollars, not some cheap $200 sunroof like back in the 80's. 95% of people have no clue it's not factory. it has a 5 year warranty, so it's not as big of a deal as you might be thinking..
today is d day, and believe it or not i'm still on the fence i am supposed to go to the dealership at 5:30 this afternoon and turn in the orange one/order the purple one. any last thoughts???

[ACUDANUT]

 I hope the resale value is better than their other cars. When I drove off the lot in my last new Dodge, it was worth half the price.

? i thought it was on the lot?? i would still get the stick, come on, be a man, think about sitting at the light when a cute girl comes by, grab that thick stick and........... oh wait a sec, where are we at again

purple still rules but.................... i guess they will make a shift kit for those auto trans sooner or later

purple isn't in production yet. they aren't ramping them up for another month.

[Magnumcharger]

Purple is being delivered right now!!!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Sweet!

[69charger2002]

that is a really cool pic. i still haven't committed one way or another. i now hear they are bringing back orange, which will mean even more of them floating around(already plenty). i don't really think there will be many purple ones roaming the streets, but i don't want to give up $5-7k extra just to get a new one.

[69bronzeT5]

I'd do it
