I talked to the dealer today and he told me that he has a new viper scheduled to be completed Dec 14. They then have to ship it. Fingers crossed and he should have it by the end of the year or possibly before christmas. WOW!!
My Dealer is getting vipers next month

REALLY? And we here in Canada are still waiting to get our orders in.
So is that one of the LAUNCH EDITIONS they're getting?

You think my local dealer will get mad if I go look at one every day till i get mine, even though I am not buying from them?

And NO free lunch or Viper unless you are from Arizona or Missouri where the two lottery winners are from. Glad I did not bet on that loooong shot.Does the lunch edition come with a picnic hamper?

I'd assume they will be the first off the line. Allows SRT to get the build process down perhaps?

I imagine it would be really hard to convince someone with an R8/Gallardo/F430/DB9/DBS/911 to trade in without getting their hands on an example.

i seemed to have located LE #14 and #44 at two of my local dealers. Still not sure when these cars will be in. I sorta like the idea of the 1st 60 release cars before the launch so they can hopefully get any bugs out on those first.

Maybe the dealers will allow test drives now with those.
There are quite a few cars in D, D1 and even beyond status, but we all forget that all the Chrysler Plants shut down for 2 weeks in December for Christmas . There could be a few Gen Vs out there by the end of the month, but common sense says the Plant shutdown will slow things as it always has.
Rumors are there hopefully will be few in Dealer's hands ,but shipping is slowed also , so likely the cars will go to Dealers or areas that can unload a full Semi.

I stopped at Glendale Dodge in St.Louis. I was excited to hear they had a Viper unspoken for coming in January and it was a black GTS with black rims optioned out to $137,420 I believe. This is exactly what I was looking for......until they told me there would also be a $5000 preemium dealer mark up to help cover the $25,000 tooling cost and mechanic training. I will patiently wait for a year or so until this premium goes away or find a dealer not charging one. But if anyone is willing to pay it, the car was still available as of yesterday........

lets see, they will make 10 to 15k on the car and make another 5 k mark up. that will make 20 k on one car. so if they get and sell 2 cars they will make 40k. are they going to refund some $$$ to the guys that bought the 2 cars..... not. i dont have a problem with the dealer selling the cars at msrp, but when they want more than that ........ there are lots of dealers that will sell at msrp. get the car from them.
Viperdreamin -- you have a PM concerning the actual status of the vehicles and how Vipers will be shipped/built.

one dodge/chrysler dealer had the balls to tell me that it costs $25k to become an SRT dealership and that they wanted ME to pay the cost of that $25K and then they'd sell me the car. it was a REALLY brief converstaion

Same thing happened to me here in Vegas too.
You guys have some really awful dealers down there....up here in Canada (at Wellington Motors anyways) ...we're all treated with respect and consideration! NO BS!!
And we're also given the best deal around...IMHO!!

Dealer closest to us is pretty big. They have a separate Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota dealerships.
When the ZR1 came out, they had a $25k premium. The SS Camaro was I think 8k premium when it came out.
I have no doubt they will want $20k+ for their allocations.
Which was why my only questions to them when I stopped by was if they can service them

Maybe that's the reason you have to pay to play. Any dealer that is going to pony up 25k to sell Vipers is going to have to WANT to sell them, not just have them around to draw people into the show room.
