True Story.....

I was at a Dodge Dealer yesterday to service their office products. As I stepped out of my GT the first shark asked if I wanted to trade it in on a HellCat..... of coarse I said NO as my GT is only a year old AND my personal opinion of Dodge products is very low... PLUS...... Those Chargers/Challengers are VERY OLD technology as they are built on Mercedes 4 door sedan chassis from the early 2000's...

Anyways.... I had to service units in their service department so I asked one of their mechanics why the LOT was filled with some many Challengers/Hellcats and his reply was that those cars are always in for warranty work, he stated he would never own one as they are having many issues....Now we all know, take it for what its worth but I have several friends that had dodge products and they have ALL moved away from them in recent years.

On a side NOTE....I saw over 10 Hellcats on the main floor sitting there, Yellow, Lime Green, Black, White and Red....

Good Luck to the OP with his new purchase....

That's the beauty of leasing, you never have to worry or care about the car. Just drive it like you stole it. It's not yours.

Graduated with a finance degree (240k paid all with scholarships). got my v6 Camaro for 20k and got 23k for it when it was totaled. Got my GT 10k under sticker enjoyed it for a year traded it in for 2k less than what I paid. Hellcat leased at a ridiculous price.

I am not trying to brag about it but don't just start shitting on people before you know all the facts lol :cheers:.
I'm not shitting on you, I'm jealous. But I'll admit I don't believe any of it.

However, in the end, what I do or don't believe means something slightly less than 0.

There are a lot of supercharger bearing issues with these cats... That is why I would never own one.

If you thought I was shitting on you, I wasn't. I just don't understand but ... it's really non of my business and no explanation needed.

Good for you

It all comes down to how hard you push the sales people and how much time are you willing to invest. I can't tell you how many sales people actually asked me to never contact them again.

You one of those couponers?
Oh god. I had a guy last week with a book of coupons. 1 of them wouldn't work and he held up the line for over 10 minutes trying to get the lady to get it to work. All that to save 30-cents or some shit...:lol::headbonk:

I've been in that situation, as a customer in the line behind the couponer, and offered to give them my change in exchange for them getting the hell out of my damn way.:frusty::frusty:

Congrats! I came close to doing this deal. I had one close to $500 but pulled the trigger on the scat instead.
