Well, after being without a Mopar for years I finally bought one. The rear end on my old Ranger started going out, and a rebuild costs half what the truck is worth, so it got put out on the street to make room in the garage for a new Challenger.
I was initially hunting for a used one, buy the used ones cost near new prices once you factor in the rebates and interest rates etc. I talked a dealer in Omaha down to a used car price on a new Challenger R/T blacktop edition, but he had to bring it in from another lot that was already closed for the day. He called me back the following monday to tell me the car had sold, but they had another one that was similar. We had a little disagreement on the way they were quoting me prices, without tax when everyone else quoted me with tax, so I headed off to another lot.
I looked at a couple of cars on another lot that were loaded with useless options, and overpriced. I sent the salesman in Omaha an email that said I was standing on another dealers lot and had not yet spoken to a salesman, so if he wanted my business he better drop his price to make up for the sales tax. Got an email a few minutes later with the exact price I wanted for the car, so we headed out and picked it up.
I really like that it is a 2014, since my last Dodge was a 1964. Kinda neat to have owned a 50 year anniversary and a 100 year anniversary Dodge, although mine doesn't have the anniversary package on it. The only options on it are upgraded wheels, header orange paint, and the Super Track Pack.
I still want to find another 64 Polara, but now I have another awesome Mopar, so I feel better.
