Dodge's warning to customers buying Hellcats

Apparently Dodge sent out a warning to potential Hellcat customers regarding leaving deposits on Charger/Challenger Hellcat's the dealer may not be able to sell right away.

This reminds me when the Camaro first came back and many people waited approx. 2 years to get the car because GM was backordered.

The article states that only eligible dealerships will get 1 Charger or Challenger Hellcat per month lol.

Just like the dealership in my one horse town. They can'y get any Z's ... Vettes or Camaros... Not enough volume. My 14 SS sat on the lot for 6 months.
I don't think I've ever seen a Vette on the lot at all.

There are those that have and those that don't. Just go to another dealer.

Good luck of finding MSRP in cali. seems like to get one in the color I want and at MSRP involves a trek. With my camaro being paid off this year and looking for a new toy, my daughter, is hoping dodge keeps messing up so I buy a Z06 instead.

Funny part is this reminds of 2009 all over again when the dodge dealers wanted way over msrp and the new camaro came out So I visited my local chevy dealer and the sales rep said pick a camaro 1K under MSRP and they had been out for just 3 months.

For a Hellcat ? Not right now ! Because dealers only are getting so many if any and still taking ppl deposits knowing that they are not getting more or any til later!

Forgot to say the real problem is that dealers are lying to ppl saying they can get you the car and takes your deposits so you can't go and buy a hellcat from another dealer!

This reminds me of the time, when the Golf R was to arrive here for the first time ever, and I was interested in one as a proper 4 season car , but the sale man said, I need like a significant deposit down, and he would not even guarantee I'd get one in the colour I wanted (black), and he even went as far as to say, don't be picky, be lucky you are waiting in line, 6 months to go until introduction....then I politely walked out, pretty much had heard enough, might as well have given them the finger, I do_not tolerate snob attitudes, I don't care who are what you are as far as materialistic products are concerned, let's keep it real, ok sorry for the rant but this sort of thing makes me lol.

In retrospect, much happier with this summer only car, albeit I had to buy an other car for daily/4 season use.
