SRT Sales

[vipernate]

Well I've actually seen 4 on Ebay alone for sale. But really that is beside the point. I think that most buyers thought they were going to keep their car or at the very least had the intentions of keeping their SRT10 but something either came up or they lost interest whatever. I think what DC did was a good thing and shows that DC wants to retain it's high end loyal customers. Always a good thing. But as far as calling all dealers scumbags - just simly unfair untrue and uncalled for.

Actually, this is pretty common because you can set a maximum bid on E-Bay. If the bid was $54,900, and this guy was willing to go up to 64.9K, he would bid $64.9K and the current bid would show $55K. Then if someone went to outbid him, it would say that someone had a higher bid already until the maximum bid price was beat (at $65K).

I don't know if this is the case here, as it could be 13 year old kids playing with their parents credit cards, but it is not out of line to see the price jump dramatically like this.

Sure, not all Dodge dealers are scumbags but c'mon, be real, most car dealers of any marquee will give you an anal probe if you don't watch your backside.

I had to travel through three counties to trade-in a Nissan Pathfinder and buy my Lexus LX470 at a fair price $6,000 better than my close by dealers. Similarly, my nearby 5-Star Dodge dealer wanted to play proctologist with me on my trade-in which led me to a much better and far less costly Viper experience over 1,000 miles away with owner John Gastman of Roanoke Dodge in Illinois.

It would be nice though if, as suggested previously, anyone flipping their SRT do so in a low profile way so as not to give Dodge dealers the ammunition to block future certificate programs.

The purpose of a franchised new car dealer operation (for the franchise owner) is to serve as a front for the more profitable (per unit) used car operation.

Just a tidbit...trivia that may be useful as food for thought.

Nice WX today in SE VA. I'm gonna go GTSing!
