Exactly. Some of you guys are acting like there's a million people out there willing to pay a lot more, for a sight-unseen gas guzzler in today's economy.

How much does an SRT8 normally retail for? It can't be more than low 40's, can it? If so, I don't see what the big deal is.

Sight unseen? It's a new car on a dealer lot. There were pics in the ebay ad. It's not like it's a 1960's challenger sitting in a barn.

And yes, they retail for low to mid 40's. He got it for 29k because the dealer fucked up and removed the reserve on the ebay ad. How is 10 or 12k not a big deal on a 40k+ car?

Because there's tons of other cars you can buy for a substantial discount these days

Including motorcycles. Brand new 09 ZX6R's and 1000rr's for only $7K? Yep.

32% off sticker is nothing to sneeze at. Also, thousands of guys have paid sticker for the same car ($40k+), so yeah, it is a big deal.

Well that is good that the dealer stepped up and honoured the deal(even if it was pressured by the internet).
