Dodge Demon

because the dealerships wont have the msrp on that document and then explain it to the customer as only needing to state the msrp on it in order to get them the car faster....

Believe it or not, the dealerships get audited on this stuff by the OEM's frequently, and it needs to add up. If they charge customers over MSRP, they would pretty much have to commit accounting fraud to hide it from Dodge. Plus it would screw them up on taxes, and open them up to liability if the customer found out (he could sue for the overcharge if it wasn't booked on the price of the car).

It almost seems like Dodge has found a loophole and I applaud them for it. Generally, the OEM can't force pricing on the dealership because of franchise laws. They aren't doing that here, though, they are letting the dealers set the price but leveraging the limited supply. Good stuff!

Dealerships are like convicts, they have/had a lot of time to get pretty good at the game with the OEM's and their franchises.

I hope that stuff can hold up in court. It seems like OEM's never get the benefit of the doubt. Lawyers be like "So you knowingly put an unsafe car on the road and agreed to let someone sign their life away to buy it"? Or the big one, what if someone buys it "used" and didn't sign the waiver?

Looks like Chrysler came through...the dealers are kinda forced to sell at sticker now. I should know shortly if I can get one, not getting it unless it's at sticker.
 
It is definitely good marketing.

It's amazing that they made the car at all. Pretty cool. If I get one I'm going to drive it to work every nice day like it's a beater.

HeY Raj,

Since you'll probably been getting a new beater, I'll give you $500 for your old worn out billet beater :)

Good luck Raj... Hope you get it as you will drive it as intended!
I have yet to ever be in a Hellcat and know you offered to go for a ride in yours so I will throw this out there if you get a Demon. "Can I go for a Ride in the Demon?"

Will be selling it or trading it in. 5k miles, meticulously maintained. Please spread the word if you know of anyone interested.

You can take it for a ride! You'll dig it.
 
Unfortunately Golling couldn't make it happen. They want me to buy the car at sticker, but give $10k to one of their charities. I already give plenty to charity, not going to do that. I'm looking at another dealer who says I can have one, but they're out of state. We'll see.

Sounds like the 20k car cover szott was using to pull some tricks using msrp sale

I hear these stories and the one like Raj's, what amounts to a $10K bribe, and it makes me feel like I'll never buy another new car. Heck, I'll just start buying Raj's used cars.
 
It's very frustrating. I'm the exact demographic that car was built for. I'm a drag racer.

So far I've gotten from them:

2012 Hemi Ram
2015 Hemi Ram
2014 Cummins Dually
2014 300C
2015 Hellcat Challenger

Now I'm trying to spend another 86k over there and will probably be buying new cars for another 25 years and they want to play this stupid game? Doesn't make sense.
