2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 officially sold out

Tran · 04-23-2008, 04:50 PM

It may not come as the biggest surprise, but Dodge is officially sold out of its entire run of 2008 model year Challenger SRT8s — 6,400 units in all. Dodge reportedly received 10,000 pre-orders for the revived 1970s muscle car legend, 4,300 of which came in the first three days the Challenger was available for pre-order.

But, Challenger fanatics still have some options. KickingTires.com shows that 28 of the 6,400 Challenger SRT8s are available on eBay. Interestingly, 24 of those 28 are being offered by a dealer.

But fanatics better be prepared to pay a premium to be the first on the block to have a Challenger. While the 2008 Challenger SRT8 has an MSRP of $37,995, the 28 Challengers listed on eBay are going anywhere from the mid-$40,000s all the way up to $65,000.

If people can wait until the 2009 models rolls into dealerships, they can save quite a bit of $$$$$. The SRT8 model will still list for just under $40,000, but two new models will be available -- the R/T and SE (SE stickers for just under $24,000).

Sad part is, people will actually PAY those prices for this car... If they could just wait a while they could have it for much less... I'll never understand people like that

Believe it or not the 08 model year will probably be a collectors model. Only because of the limited quantity and being only one trim.

That said, I wouldn't want to drop that kinda cash for a daily driver unless it was a vette.

It blows me away that people fall for the whole hemi bit. The person at Chrysler who came up with the idea of calling a non hemi engine a hemi just so the mopar fanboys would go nuts should be running Chrysler. Maybe they wouldn't be dancing on the edge of bankruptcy.

I read it's exhaust system is very loud and crackling-like just like a cheap set of glass pacs.
