I put a $5000 deposit down at Suncoast Dodge in Seminole, Florida on November 14th and I am still in limbo. I got a VON, VON 32805891, but no updates. My Dodge dealer has no idea when the second allocation will start and if it will start. This whole Hellcat ordering process has been one big cluster fu_k!

Abe,

I am so sorry! I have nothing to complain about! I would start contacting the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General's Office by now!!! Your dealer probably had no allocation at all!

nothing the AG or BBB can do, right now this is an allocated car so whenever the dealer gets an allocation then you might get a VIN....I too have been in line since the beginning but I knew it was a slim chance I'd get picked for the first allocation (I was 3rd in line). Dealer had 2 in the first round so now I'm waiting for 2nd round to begin.

And Abe....some people have recently been getting VIN's this week from the first round so holding onto hope with you that you get it soon!!!!

That is so wrong. It is a travashamockery! Not to make a joke out of it, there should be some legal steps or at least someone higher up at Chrysler to talk to. They really need to know about these cases

Hi Bfusion,

I have contacted Ralph Gilles/SRT about this and the response back was the sound of crickets!

I think this launch of the Hellcat has caused people not to want to buy a Dodge again! Keeping people in the dark about their cars and feeding them lines of BS! Also Dodge/Chrysler has done nothing to stop these dealers who are raping people who want to buy a Hellcat for MSRP and trying to charge them $20K over MSRP.

That is so wrong BK. I think all the members here that have received their Hellcats, need to get together to help the people like us get theirs, at least like you and ABE. This is not right. I am from 9/29 and am anxious, can't imagine how you guys feel!

They are suppose to have the ordered cars built by years end. The evidence shows they are ramping up the production. Everyday they build a few more than the day before.
I am kinda glad I am not getting one of the first ones and its winter here with more snow last night so there is no way I could drive it. They make some corrections and adjustments as they build the new ones.

How would you like to have one of the cars built that is just sitting in the Taylor Yard??? no del date just there for 6 weeks now.

I understand the whole free enterprise thing and agree with it , but customer loyalty should come into play here with Chrysler. Maybe shoot a little lower with a regional rep from Dodge. These are the people that can feel the pressure and be concerned about their jobs. I don't think Ralph Giles is concerned about his.

Bfusion,

My Dodge regional rep was a di_k head. My 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 had denting issues! He said I was waxing my car to hard or my wife was beating my car with a rolling pin! I had to go up the chain of command to get my car bought back!

I would gladly take the scenario where my car is built and sitting in the Taylor yard vs my current situation of just having a VON in BX status. That sounds like heaven to me actually.

you ordered you car november 14 and you are worried???? we in Canada ordered ours in july with no vins,so I don't feel for ya.you get in the ordering game 3 months after the fact and you think you have been waiting to long for vin#.so when you wait 130 days and still no vin# then I would start feeling bad but not when you just ordered car and expect a vin# .that's just expecting a car that wont be built for months from now.so relax until you have waited as long as we have waiting before expecting VIN#.if your salesperson said he or she will get you one,they cant.wait in line as line is bigger than they expected.also why $5000 dowm.only need $500 down to make order.so I would get $4500 back in your pocket because its many months from now.not all dealers will ever see a hellcat and if you ordered late you maybe way down on there list.i would see how many on that dealers list ahead of you.may have to find other dealer if list is long.i would say 3 hellcats at one dealer for the 2015 model would be all they see this year.

dealers are there to make money.its the retard buyers that will pay anything to have one first.but 5 years down the road when they want to sell they cant recoupe that extra $20 grand they paid.easy to take money from a fool.order your car wait and be much happier in the end.
