Gillman Dodge Chrysler Jeep and Ram by 59/69 Southwest Freeway and near Beltway 8 of Houston, Texas has a General Manager telling their sales reps to mark $20,000 USD over MSRP for any hellcat if anyone wanted one. Greedy bastages.

Sounds like that first dealer I went to. I wish Chrysler could step in and reduce their next allotment due to price gouging. I know that their opportunity to get more is based on the first batch sales so let's hope they choke themselves!:mad:

Well that's what is going to happen if the dealership cannot push the hellcat sales. I read an article about allocation limits based on how fast they sell hellcats each quarter.

20K over sticker?!! That's beyond lunacy. At that rate those cars will sit and they won't get anymore :) I understand a little mark-up, but greed is never a good thing. When their competitor is selling them as soon as they come in with little to no mark-up, who will have the last laugh ;)

lol exactly, I got mine at $5k markup at another dealership which is fair if I wanted it before most folks.

You got to pay to play and I totally get that ;)
Yep! Totally, I feel like someone probably went to Gillman and did go thru with that $20k markup regardless. You know there's always someone who will do whatever it takes to be part of the #1 band wagon lol

I could see it if the cars were going to be numbered and you could match your VIN or have a name plate, but I was told there is nothing to identify the build number so it really becomes how desperate you want to go 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.:eek: From what I have seen, the people buying these already have amazing cars so, I don't see too many of them going for the price mark ups.

gillman was one of the places I called and they were a bunch of jerks.

They did not even want to talk at the end of July.

I knew more about the Hellcat than they did and brushed me off.

They can go to hell.
Heck yeah, totally agree TSp

I called the 10 dealers closest to me and found some at 20K over, 10K over, 5 K over and one at MSRP. There is a lot of greedy dealerships out there. I ordered with the dealer that sold at MSRP, but was #5 on the list. I found another dealer that had not sold their allocation so I paid them 2K over to get their first car. They had a dealer order in but told me that my customer order would go ahead of their dealer order. Found out yesterday that the dealer order went to production and mine is still waiting. Their car was Tored in color and mine was Sublime w/ Black Napa leather so maybe that had something to do with it. maybe Red is going first.
