I'm selling my custom 03 Corvette convertible....supercharged, all custom leather interior, CCWs etc.....going to get a Hellcat Challenger for my weekend toy/occasional drive to work....already have a Mopar daily driver.....white Charger Scat Pack.
I've been able to get an offer of $4k below MSRP for my order.....is this a good deal or can I get more? Are there any dealers you all recommend?
what dealership did you buy from? I live in Maryland, and just bought from Kernersville Dodge. They shipped to my driveway on Monday. Great to work with!
I should note that the dealer I purchased from had 3 16 M6 Challengers. I leased one, and helped sell another to a friend. It was the end of the month and the Demon had just been announced. They also had 2 17's on their lot and this was their last 16. It felt like the perfect storm.
Canuck9, I suggest you shop around, negotiate, and go with the best deal. Leave a couple of dealers on the hook and tell them to call you when they are willing to comedown more in price. Stick to your timeline and budget, but pull the trigger when you feel comfortable.
4k sounds like a decent deal to me. I work at Citigroup and have access to get employee pricing where the dealer has to show you the actual invoice to see the "Preferred Price". The 2016 Cat I go was MSRP of $73725 they already had it marked down to $71 and some change and the preferred pricing got it down to $70629 for me a total difference of about $3100 and that was with preferred pricing.
Like Plumcrzy said we are getting close to the end of the month. If you can find a dealer with any 2016s (of course providing you can accept taking a 2016 instead of 2017) left on the lot that match what you are looking for you may get better deal the closer to the end of the month we get. Plus with it being Memorial Day on Monday there may be some kind of sale pricing you might be able to get. I think dealers are going to start to get desperate to get any remaining 2016s out of their inventory. I mean in the next 3 months or so the 2018 should be getting announced I would think.
South County Dodge in Gilroy, CA said they would do $5000 off on an ordered '17 Charger Hellcat a month ago. I tried to get more but they were firm with that number
It was a no option car. $68K and change. They told me they were the biggest Hellcat dealer in Northern California. You have to talk to the internet guys and then get the right one. I called a different guy and he told me they were selling at MSRP
A good deal? This really depends on how much time you want to spend looking around, and how far you're willing to drive.
If you're willing to grab a leftover 2016, and there LOTS of them, you can do much better than 4K off MSRP. Otherwise 4K off a 2017 isn't a bad deal, but with some looking around you can definitely do better.
I was given $3500 off back in June of '16 and that was a "rare" under MSRP deal at that time so I think your $4K under is pretty good considering you're in about the same time of year this year as I was last year.
I'm just sick that I didn't wait. What I ended up paying and what a '16 can be bought for now...... gawd.

I ordered my '17 and was able to get $4280 off MSRP, plus the best trade-in price on my '16 SRT 392 from any dealer I spoke with. All in all, I felt it was an excellent deal...for a '17. Oh, and it was a fairly low optioned vehicle, so there wasn't much extra "fluff" built in for the dealer.
When will we have prices for the 18's? Any left- over 16 and 17 should be heavily discounted by that date. I have been watching EBay and it seems to me that there is not much movement of Challenger Hellcats as of the 3 months. Many of them are listed at MSRP or slightly below, others well under sticker.
The Challenger Hellcats are moving, as many have been heavily discounted... but there's definitely a lot left.
When I bought my Charger Hellcat in late March there was 1600-1700 2016 Hellcat Challengers listed on cars.com, two months later there are 851. The HC Chargers fell from ~300 to 213... There's also quite a few HC's out there not listed on cars.com, Just how many though is hard to tell.
Many of the cars left aren't selling because of greedy dealers not observing the great lease deals out there, and not reducing MSRP much. In a couple months, the greedy dealers will be stuck with 2-year old "new" 2016's with no FCA deals to move them.
I got $4000 off; highly optioned 2017. I think it depends on when and where you are buying. Ran into a dealer that last year basically gave one away just to get it off the lot. Didn't want it hanging over to the next year. I suspect dealers with multiple, aging-inventory Hellcats on hand will deal better than others.
This was my situation. Dealwr had 3 Challenger and 2 charger HC's all 2016's going into the winter with multiple 17's due to arrive. So he let one of the Challengers go for 10k below sticker and threw in a bunch of free service.
Thanks for the info. I am talking with some dealers that still have 16s on hand, as well as many with 17s...few still sticking to MSRP. I wonder if a wide body option will become an 18 option. I believe that with it, as well as the Demon, that left over HC prices will really drop. I plan on buying once the market knows what 2018 has for choices. "Best laid plans of mice and men..."
At Sisk in Hopkinsville Ky they have three with various options. One I saw was 9000.00 off the 71,000 msrp, gray with sunroof etc. I bought my 16 A6 for about 65000 last fall. Deals are out there.
I think the really good deals are starting to evaporate as the supply and demand stabilizes. Your best bet is to find a 2016 still on the lot, there are a few out there priced pretty low. I got my 2016 back on April 1st for a screaming deal.
I have a great dealer to recommend just PM me if serious. I've purchased a 2016 Camaro 2SS and my Hellcat from them and it was literally 4 emails and one phone call from start to finish. I'll be going to them for everything from now on.
I know where there are (2) 2016 Challenger Hellcats, one black w/ brass monkeys and the other white with black wheels, both are 6sp manuals though. They have been sitting.....and sitting......and sitting.....and sitting, and the dealer wasn't even doing ADMs. Not sure what they are looking for but I have told the sales guy I always talk to at the place when there for service that they are going to have to eat them both....A LOT (especially because they are manuals).
I had them cut the price of the sunroof off of mine, which is like 3k or so. Kind of a deal, but I was in the process of trying to order one without it.
