My Ride: 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible. Midnight Blue, 6 Speed.Retired - 2007 997 Carrera S, Midnight Blue, Grey leather, premium audioRetired - 2007 550i, Monaco Blue over Beige, Navigation, Logic 7, Cold Weather Pack, Comfort Access, Sport Package
Model Year: 2008
Was at the Chrysler dealer this morning as my wife's Town & Country was in for a service. Stopped by the showroom and they had a black 300C SRT-8 on the floor. The car listed at 47,500 or so, but there was an additional 15K dealer adjustment taking the sticker up to over $62K! Personally I think the 300C SRT-8 is a monster, and they are in short supply, but 15K over the odds??

I don't mean to be harsh but c'mon. $15k markup for that?

Definitely not for a Chrysler nor even an M5. <- For me that is. I'm willing to wait a year for the market to cool.

Gee, $62K - isn't that about what a decently-equipped 550i goes for?
I would love to meet a person who would choose the 300C.

Does not matter what brand it is or how hot the car is. It can be a BMW, Lexus, Mercedes or Chryslers. I do not do business with dealers that charge markup. :thumbsdown:
I think it's insult me as a buyer. I simply walk out of the dealer and look for other dealers.

I think every 300C that I've seen with aftermarket wheels were 22" chrome.

Come to think of it, that's how I drove in the eighties with my slammed red Prelude with gold enkei wheels. My friends still haven't let me live that down...
