Well that wait wasn't bad at all. Wonder why they would give you such a large window for the repair only to have it done much less than the time they gave you.
Dealer found the part at another dealership.

Dodge corporate made them give up the part I’m guessing because it was on a national back order.

Not sure how Dodge works, but with Ford they can't make us give up a part. They can buy it out from us though, usually at cost +10 or 20%. The dealer can also buy it out from us directly and bill the price difference on the RO. I have had some parts in stock that were on backorder but allotted for customers. Ford reps will call and try to demand it and I will give them my customer's info and tell the rep that if my customer agrees that the rep's person is more important, then I will sell it.

Yeah I really don’t know exactly what happened only that I had a case number from dodge and a rep from corporate on my side that plus I have a great relationship with this dodge dealer.
All I do know is that my car is running perfectly.

I'm thinking if I can't afford a Z06/Z07 car, (which I probably won't be able to, but you don't ask, you don't get), I'm really considering a Hellcat Challenger.
Hopefully the new GT500 is out by then and I "have a chance" to order one the exact way I want. I'm sure they will be limited and I'm not paying over MSRP for one. I would be ordering the Z06 or the Hellcat as well anyways. If I'm paying that much on my next toy, I want it as I want it, no less.

I’d guess you won’t see the next gt500 without an adm for awhile.
I paid under sticker for my gt500 but I walked into a totally lucky situation. I basically called every dealer in New England before I found my car and I was about to give up.

In my lifetime I will never pay sticker or over for anything. I would just buy something else.

That's awesome. You lucked out.
I'm not paying ADM for sure, not matter how killer the car is and I'm sure the new GT500 is going to be killer. I would rather stay with the Mustang, but if it's crazy ADM and limited availability, I highly doubt I will get one.

You like the Hellcat Chargers Bruno?

I love both hellcats but the charger is starting to make more sense as a daily. I’m probably 55% leaning towards the charger over the Challenger right now.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with either. Both are hot. Plus, that supercharger whine.

Getting exactly what you want is a crazy concept.

If Nick can’t help you I can give you my dealers contact info. They said they won’t do ADM. They are a small dealer, so no telling if they get a GT500 allocation. They didn’t get a GT350R but did get at least 1 GT350.
