Just picked up this 2013 Challenger R/T. Pretty basic car, has only the Boston Acoustic Sound System, Nav and the chrome wheels for options. 5.7 with a 6-speed of course! I'm loving it!

Yeah, I bought the SE in June... but I kept kicking myself for not holding out for an R/T. Didn't really mean for this to happen, I just "happened" to go by the dealership where I had bought the SE and this one was sitting there, pretty much EXACTLY how I'd order one up--Hemi, 6 speed, chrome wheels and few options.
The lesson learned here boys and girls is DO NOT SETTLE!

Oh, and it hadn't even officially hit the lot. They hadn't detailed it yet and hadn't even put the sticker in the window. I kept every single bit of documentation it came with... sweet!

Honestly not sure. Probably just going to ride a while and let it sink in... and keep contemplating what if anything I want to do.

I've seen some Dodge ads where they seem to say that the Challenger is the lowest priced V-8 muscle car!
I remember when the new Challenger came out a lot of grumbling about her being "too expensive" and
"mustang is cheaper". So Bruce, what is the sticker price on yours, and is mustang still cheaper?
A great choice!

Sticker on mine was $34,600. There were $2k in incentives, which included $1k in V8 incentive. What the heck? They sure didn't need to an incentive to get me to buy the V8.
Of course, trading the SE and haggling for what seemed like forever reduced the end price some...

Great to hear about the incentives.
I think you need a bumper sticker "Dodge paid me $1000 to take home a HEMI"
We've now got another reason to buy a Challenger.
