Nice to see that my local scumbag dealer is getting a minimal allocation; for Challengers they're looking 1 each of 3 of the last call (both Shakedowns and one of the Swingers) and NO Hellcats...except the '22 I ordered and backed out on. They can suck it...
...and if Dodge dealers as a rule are gonna gouge on ADMs all they're gonna do is drive business to the Ford and Chevy dealers, who will gladly sell them Mustangs and Camaros.

After doing some digging (ok a LOT of digging) way before today, I might add...
Here is my semi-quantitative analysis of how this is gonna play out...
The very few dealers (top 200-300 out of 2800 Nationwide or 7-10%) that actually get ONE allocation for the 909 Number 7*car, the OWNER of the dealership will be buying the car in the majority of cases. The remaining sales, from the numbers I kept hearing, will likely be for +75K to 2x MSRP for that car. Yes, there may be a few that go for less, but it's all relative...pricing for those precious few cars might be in the +15-30K range and people will snap those up faster than you can take a breath of air. As part of this escapade, I spoke with over 10 dealerships that sold MSRP Demons who have NEVER marked up a car. This one? Yep! Marking it up. Believe it. My guess is that they think they are going to lose most of their customers after this no matter what so F**k it. Hard to argue against that logic...
*I spoke with a Stellantis regional rep as part of my market research/due diligence. He told me yesterday that the 7 car is on hold INDEFINITELY since they are "having issues with the engine". He said it is indeed an E85 car (part of the problem he added) and yes it has 909 hp. Not 1000, not 929. He also said that with all the other production problems they are having right now, there is a non-zero chance that 7 will never see the light of day and that they call it quits with the 6 that are already announced. Take that for what it's worth...oh, and don't shoot the messenger, lol.
