08s For Sale on Showroom Floors

[Nsane1]

I think it weird that I'm sitting here waiting (as well as many others) for our per-sold 9 month ago ordered car, and a few are sitting around on showroom floors.

Theres a blue convertible at Dallas Dodge, and a SSG/White Coupe at Grapevine Dodge.

The convertible, was "ordered by the GM, but he retired" and the coupe was "ordered since we are a minorioty owned business and receievd help from Chrysler).

Anyway, if you're interested (i would love the SSG to go to some other state, I'd love to be the only one here here's some contact info:

Dallas Dodge: (they are a sponsor of our local VCA and where I ordered my SSG): (214) 327-9361 - MSRP

Grapevine Dodge: I went and saw the SSG yesterday, my goodness I'm excited... Sean Dougher: 817-410-7500. They have a 10k premium on the car, but I would guess everything is negotiable.

I think I'll cruise up there today in my Red GTS. Cause a distraction...

Same old story. Customer orders only..LOL. "customers" meaning any employee name that they can put down on an order sheet. I guess the GM can order as many as he wants for 'himself' eh? "Minority owned" prob means someone's wife. Just speculation-The GM who disappeared after orderin, prob retired 5 yrs before the order was placed, and had no idea his name was on the order form.

Chrysler should seize the car and give it to you!! I would never buy from them after hearing they are doing this to their own customers. That is BS!

Vettes had a Gumby Green some yrs ago that had a short life span on the options list. Odd colored shades can be cute inside the showroom, but might be hard to resell..

It is NOT right but some Dealers pull this crap all the time!

On a related note, does Dodge have a website you can search to see who does have one? I found my Z06 using gmbuypower.com. Is there an equivalent?

I'm itching to see an 08 in person, but the dealers around here don't seem to have any intentions of getting one.

 

[dave6666]

Yeah, it's for real...

It really does look much different up close -vs- from a distance doesn't it?! Amazing when well lit. To me, the car looks the best from the rear 2/3 view.

 

[blue01gts]

That green gets better every time I see it.

 

[Malu59RT]

I was wondering when I saw it, why it doesn't say Dodge Viper on the rear bumper. I thought that they left it off for 08, but all the other 08's I've seen has it on there. Is that an emblem that dodge is supposed to add before painting it?

That last picture in the sequence is one of the most beautiful pictures of the Snakeskin Green I have seen. Thanks.

I have to admit that after owning my GTS now for a year, and looking at many other Gen 2's, I gave the body fit on this car the evil eye. It passed. What a car.

 

[black08]

Wow! That car looks absolutely awesome!

 

[dave6666]

"Minority owned" prob means someone's wife.

No, actually, I met the owner. He is not a wife. He is a minority.

Not that I'm picking sides, but the rule wins this time I think.

Very good.

 

[Viper Wizard]

They want $10,000 over sticker! I guess there is an a$$ for every seat?

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

I'm sure the dealers have had their orders in even longer.

Love the Green/white

 

[Brad04Mamba]

How do they get away with saying MSRP is $100K when it is actually $90K

 

[Nsane1]

Great pix (much better than mine)! As far as dealers having orders in longer, that's incorrect, as many of us ordered the day ordering opened at the exact time the dealership opened, just to get in first.

After looking in person, I do have to say it will look much meaner with black stripes, the whites are nice, but it's not as sharp a contrast. ANY DAY NOW!

Tator- Yeah they WANT 10k over sticker, but I doubt they'll get it. having said that, if someone wants a green, can't order one now, can't wait for some other color, and don't want a used 1 in 6 mos, I guess 10k isn't too much to pay (not that I would).

One other thing, I absolutely disagree on the green resale comment, not that I'll be selling this beast...

 

[Alexarz]

The green looks great with white stripes, as opposed to silver or black.

That's what I was wondering. That seems blatently fraudulent to me.

There's nothing fraudulent about selling something above MSRP. It's called Capitalism. Don't like the price, don't buy the goods. I don't recall that car prices have ever been controlled by the government like your phone bill. They can do as they please until they lose business! And still do it till they tank if they want to!

America is a great country, eh?

 

[Coloviper]

Hey it broke the 6-figure mark! Yipee! Not!

However it's now, making my lil ole 06' Coupe (full load GTS Blue, S/S, 5 Spoke Wheels and Sirius) with full 7 yr, 100,000 mile, $0 Dedictible factory extended warranty, car I purchased new in November 2006 for $75K look like a real, real good deal.

Actually I am admiantly against the dealer "****" sticker, but supply and demand I guess. Colorado will have it's usual $15K-$30K adders on it, just like the Z06, Shelbys, etc. in years past.

Sorry that it drives the price up for everyone in the market for a new one (I happen to love the SSG, but with Black or Graphite Stripes only), but for us 06' Coupe owners that purchased when we did, it might offset the fact that we are driivng a car not up to the par of the 08's , yet with an iniial lower price, the 06 Coupe might actually hold it's value a bit better than the 03-06' verts.

Guess time will tell, but beautiful car. I am sure by Spring time, someone will pony up the cash for the adder. Not me, but there is always someone who wants to be ahead of the Jones'.

 

[bad viper]

wonder how that color would look without stripes?

The question was how they can get away with saying the MSRP is $100,945.00 (note the price at the top of the sheet in your third photo) when it's really $90,945.00. Not how they get away with tacking on $10,000 to the sticker price which should have been noted next to the "ADDED MARK-UP" line. But, I'd have a hard time calling it misleading with the window sticker right next to it.

Apparently you lack the ability to read. The fraudulent aspect was saying the 6 figure price was the MSRP, not the $10k lower price which is the real MSRP.

I have no problem with capitalism, just fraud!
