The Official "I ordered" thread

Well, we weren't willing, either. When it became obvious that the car was "stranded", and the likelihood for damage (and numerous cold starts) was somewhat certain, we ordered a new one.
Sure enough, when the first one eventually arrived it was damaged.

I didn't realize you ordered a new one... that was a good move!

The driving season was already over (the first one should've made it in time, barely) so there was no rush anymore.
Of course, the second one arrived very quickly, while I had hoped for a spring delivery.

Hi guys! My dealer called me today to tell me the 2020 challenger can now be ordered in Mexico, they gave the cost of the options, good thing is they can get me demonic red interior and warp speed wheels (in Mexico you sometimes only can buy the specs FCA decided to sell in the country ). Another option available is the carbon fiber and suede interior but I can’t find real pictures (only computer made ones) and I can’t seem to justify the 1,600 price tag. Have you seen real pics? What would you do?

Heads up on the new "game" going around in my attempts at negotiating some deals on a Hellcat. This is from multiple experiences in looking for a Hellcat with all of the discounts in place right now and seems to be the way dealers are trying to find new ways to milk profit, I can say this EXCLUDES Koons though:

1. REQUIRE you to finance through them. That's it, that simple. Sure, you can have 2%, 3%, 4% under invoice plus Power Dollars, but ONLY if you finance with us at our rate. Needless to say I explained I worked hard for my credit score, and money, and will decide how I pay for it and who I borrow from. All took the hard line and never respond back.

or

2. After telling you car is available, first question is when you can come in and see the car. Once I explain I am from DE and cannot come in person until a deal is agreed upon......crickets. Never respond to follow ups. In all my years buying online I have never really had so many refusals to negotiate via email. You'll always get some, mostly because the internet dept/salesperson is terrible at online buyers, but this time it is a large number.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've been told "You need to come in and we can talk about it".
My response is usually that it shouldn't matter if I drive 150 miles (one way) or not, the price should be what it is.

Financing with the dealer wouldn't bother me, as long as there's no prepayment penalty.

Got the call Tuesday that it was delivered and drove down after work with a one way rental car.....picking up my car in the morning!

Congrats on all you expectant fathers.

I have almost recuperated after the last two ordering episodes, so not to get too comfortable again I'm considering ordering a Trackhawk.
It should arrive by early spring, right?

Considering there is zero demand for them and in 2019 MY they only sold 1500 give or take a few hundred, I'm sure you'll have it quickly.

I'm honestly surprised they continue to offer it.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Wow! I think I saw 6,000 something made for '18 and thought that it was a low number.
Guess if I order a '20 it could be a collectors item of sorts...one of 500 built, or something.

That's about right for MY 2018 because they forced them out there. It's why as of my last look a month ago there were like 400 new 2018 still nationwide. Koons did the mass buy in early 2018 and had the most in the country. In a round about way Erica said it was not a good deal for them! 2019 production was cut drastically and I'm guessing it was limited only to sold units and dealers who actually wanted one for the floor and knew they could sell it.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Yep, I'm finding quite a few new '18s still for sale out there. Oddly enough, the asking prices aren't all that much lower than for '19s...which aren't much less than ordering a new one.

So far in my search it has been hard to find one without the things I don't want (primarily the sunroof) so ordering seems more and more likely.
