Well I just got back from a local dealer that had 1 of 2, I was told, 300C SRT8s in California. I have uploaded some photos I took to the following web site if you care to take a look. http://photobucket.com/albums/y141/qzking/ .
If you can't read the picture of the window sticker, the MSRP was $45K and then the dealer had another sticker next to it that looked real official, which I took a photo of, with "ADDED MARK UP" $12,000.00. We were there 10 minutes and never saw a salesman. Opened the hood, took pictures of the engine, passenger compartment & exterior, sat in and played with the SRT8 style bucket seats to see how the clearance was with the moon roof because I'm almost 6'6'. (It had plenty of head room without lowering the seat and with the seat all the way down I had a good 4 or 5 inches.) The back seat had no leg room at all with the seat adjusted for my heigth. Finally a salesman walked by and said that they had only allowed a couple of demos and gave us the impression we wern't going to get one so I didn't ask as it was on the showroom floor and I had no intention of buying it. He did say it had a real mean growl with the stock exhaust. It was a silver one and was beautiful and a black one has to be killer! He had 5 or 6 300 C's with the 5.7 and they were all marked up $5,000.00.
Next door at their Dodge dealership they had 3 or 4 RTs sitting out in the back, dirty & dusty. They had some more up front but I didn't even walk up there as I'm waiting for an SRT8. I think you could pick one of the RTs up for MSRP less a bunch since the 2006's are starting to roll.
I'm waiting for my Magnum and if it doesn't live up to my expectations I have the option to pass on it with this dealer. If that happens the prices on the 300C SRT8 will probably have come down to MSRP or close to it and I might just buy one of those instead. Not a bad fall back position!
