How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Dodge Challenger & 2010 Dodge Challenger
Question From Ken: Looking for a 2009-2010 Dodge Challenger R/T in White.
Queen of the Road: Hi Ken. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! Those new Challengers are some sick looking cars. Especially in white. White is the best color on that car.
At the moment, Dodge isn’t offering good discounts on their 2010 Challengers. The 2009s have a higher likelihood of getting a better price, plus there’s incentives for the 2009s.
I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2010 Challenger,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 1.06%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 2.82%
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2009 Challenger,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 1.04%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 5.56%
Consumer Cash Incentives: A Cash Back Rebate of $500 is being offered to the new car Consumer upon purchase. SE and R/T, $500 Military bonus cash plus Lube, oil and filter service for up to three years is available to eligible active military, military reserve, veterans or retired military (honorable discharge and 20 years of service are eligible if vehicle is purchased or leased within six months of discharge date).See dealer for details.

If you see a particular car you want, you can easily calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal by comparing it to AutoBrag’s discount statistics.
How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y
Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees
X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP
Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)
Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process.
Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!
