Between sales tax and gas guzzler, govt is coming out ahead of most dealers in profit!

Just about. In some other products they are. Exxon makes an average profit of about $.09 per gallon of gas sold. Ever notice how much Uncle Same makes per gallon? About $.46. Highway robbery I tell you!!!!

If ViperJon is right about the Gen V's sitting on the lot by 2014-15, with this invoice, I'd expect a car that MSRP's at $135,840 to be let go at about $118k (maybe even a little less) in a last ditch effort to move the car. The factory will have an incentive for the dealer to do so and they will still make a little bit of money.

I see no reason to think the new Viper generation will be any different than the previous.
When the hoopla wears off and the factory is cranking them out they will be on the lots just like the Gen 3's and the 4's.
And after the pool of buyers dries up who are willing to pay a *LOT* of money for a Viper to be first on their block and sales sloooowwww..it's inevitable.

I agree it's inevitable.
I'd just like to point out to everyone it's like that with everything.
It's not a viper thing... it's a human nature thing.

I think most realize that they are eating up to $15k, between Invoice/MSRP discrepancies, Gas guzzler, and tax. Sure, you could minimize Invoice/MSRP by waiting. But, pay to play.

Could wait a year, obviously for the new factor to wear off. Oh well.

I agree with this, and I agree with Jon. For those who really want to save some cash, there will also be low mileage used ones on the market in a year or so.
