I feel like Invoice and some is attainable, you might not get all the way to holdback but anything helps.
If you're willing to stray outside your zip code, yes.

This sounds like the same type of sh*t dealers try to pull when a woman takes her car in. It's amazing the sh*t they can come up with that "needs to be fixed".
Tell 'em to pound sand and find another dealer.

Why not shoot for invoice at minimum and then go for holdback? I feel like Invoice and some is attainable, you might not get all the way to holdback but anything helps.
Hard to do for someone with such little experience

Hemidayz has bought three vehicles so far, from the looks of it.

They are counting on you thinking that this is the limiting factor in the deal.



Your price should be between Invoice and MSRP, minus Power Dollars, and frankly should be very close to Invoice minus Power Dollars.


Just my opinion.
Yep...all the numbers are on the internet.

If the dealership doesn't want to deal, you have the power of NO.

We have this sealant on the car that you have to pay for....NO. But it's already on there, so we have to charge for it...NO...take it off.

We have this special number all over the car for theft tracking.....NO. It's already on there, so we have to charge for it....NO....take it off.

We want to sell you this many thousands of dollars extra warranty....uh...NO.

Invoice is the price I start at......to go down. I refuse to pay more than invoice for anything new, and I sure as hell ain't paying an ADM.

Yea last time I checked I’m a male, I just don’t have to much experience purchasing any high end new vehicle. You’d be amazed how crazy people get on forums from just an honest question.

I was told on top of the additional MSRP, there's a $4,000 lug nut/lo jack fee. I'm assuming this pays for the Lojack System. I don't see the need to pay for this as my car will be garage kept and I live in a relatively safer neighborhood. On top of the national $7,070 rebate, I would like to find a dealership offering close to $5,000 additional but was told I'd have to pay for that $4,000 lo jack fee. Is the dealer trying to play me? Anybody with similar experience can offer some advice? Much appreciated.
Are you looking for a Challenger or Charger? Which trim level? Color? What kind of prices are you getting from the dealers in your area? That would help us help you.

Check out cars.com and cargurus.com....lots of dealers post on there and you can narrow your search by color, etc. You will see all kinds of prices there and it will help you know where you stand in your area.

I just pulled this right from the LoJack site.....

How much does a LoJack® System cost?
The one-time cost for a LoJack® Stolen Vehicle Recovery System has an MSRP of $695. A LoJack® System with Early Warning, which notifies you if your car is moved without your Key Pass present, has an MSRP of $995.

Im trying to purchase a 2020 charger widebody hellcat. Im looking at a lower trim msrp around $73k to $75k. I want to pay around $62k-$63k before taxes. I live in Las Vegas and can travel anywhere in SoCal, does anyone have a dealership they can suggest?

I find it hard to believe they could keep a straight face with that line...:unsure::unsure:

This place in in Virginia. They have a forum contact here that gives a set forum discount +rebates if I remember correctly. This place is right next to DC, and they sell enough that they can afford to discount. This will give you an idea of how much these cars can go for.

Just as an example

check out desert215superstore.com it says they have 3 there. one is a left over 19 narrowbody for 59k. They have 2 2020 widebody in the price range you stated.
I'm just doing a google search for Nevada Dodge dealers and checking thier sites for charger hellcat. They won't always put that it's a widebody in the title.
