Just three things I know of 1. Warping door panels linky2. Uconnect / radio issues 3. Some people have had lifter / engine issues when equipped with MDS If you elect for a Chrysler max care warranty, it will NOT cover the door panels. It IS covered under the base warranty.

Looks like the trim panel issue is like what they had on the 93-8 Grand Cherokee's. You either tried to repair or just replace them. When I worked at the dealers, parts, the tech's just replaced the panels. That way no one got married to a comeback.

Got it in April 2018 w/ 2086 miles, it went in service in August 2017, front passenger door panel was already warped, two rear followed in short order, drivers front only developed a small "bump". These panels appear identical in every respect to what I had on my 2013, never a problem in 5 years. While I was researching it, I found it was wide spread affecting other even high end manufacturers. I found the gorilla glue and popsicle stick fix on the charger forums. My dealer replaced all four, said the problem had been corrected. Now I'm not so sure after seeing this class action suit.

I have only put 500 miles on it so time will tell I should take you shopping with me, lol. Well done on that price. My local dealer didn't want to move much from the $45K sticker on a new 2020. He gave me his "best price" of $39.5, and that included the $4,850 rebate!

I tired to price out an order a new challenger and the first dealer wouldn’t give me a price. Said I had to wait on it to arrive. Uh [censored].
Second one gave a price, no idea of it would be a shifty deal too once you actually pulled the trigger. My frustration with it is more about dodge. They won’t let you custom order a car. I know that sounds funny, but there are literally things blocked out from being added. Like the six piston brembos on a 1320. Can’t get the wheels you want on certain things, even though they are listed as same size. I would get most all I want on a TA, except they won’t let you delete the flat black top. Can’t get certain seats with certain things. I can’t find anything close enough on a lot and neo got her can a dealer, if I have to pay the extra to get it ordered so be it, just flippin let me.
I told the sales guy it’s more likely I’ll find a 50 year old car to my specs than a “custom” ordered brand new car. They won’t even ask the factory to override something as simple as that paint. They’d make more money to send it on down the line the way I want it. I contacted dodge directly and they won’t even respond.
I’d say if you find what you want on the lot you can get a good deal here at year end.

I think they are great cars, my sister in law has had two shaker 6 speed challengers. I don't like the six speed because I am a drag racer and the first gear ratio is horrible for that. An 8 speed in a scat pack would be a blast. If I were in the market to by me a daily driver right now I would buy a 1320 model and race the doors off of it.

Please elaborate.

I think these Charger Scat Pack cars are badass! There's a $4,850 FCA bonus for buying a new one now. I was hoping to also get a year-end deal. I know I will be dealing with crappy gas mileage, higher auto insurance and our insane registration fees here in California. I'm just stuck with those things. What I'd like to get from you guys who have one or know about them: What issues should I be concerned about with the car itself? Any other advice? This would also be the first new car I've ever purchased (I'm 59 years old!) I know a who bought a 2020 some months ago.... Very pleased with the car but NO SO MUCH with the dealership Get the whole deal IN WRITING before you go sign any paperwork

That’s interesting. The dealers didn’t explore that, just said get lost. One even told me to go back to ford when I explained how easy it is to build on their site. I bought an expedition earlier in the year and I don’t think I found one thing you couldn’t add.

If I knew I could sell my 52 yr old Cuda and 87 monte hauler I'd have a new Scat Pak. They have decent prices in Va.
