Quoted: Demon 170. I called two dealerships and that is the price over the already 100 grand. Pisses me right the fuck off that this continues to happen. It's not about the money, I have it to spend. It's the greediness of the dealers and auto makers for not putting a stop to it. I know, weak rant, but still. That is some bullshit! Yeah but aren't people who demand to hold onto their money and that others lower their prices to accomodate them just as greedy?

Isn't 2023 that last year that they will be made? If so, then people will pay for it.

I wish they would cut out the middle men for vehicles and alcohol purchases. Things would be a lot smoother. Have authorized Pick-up centers for vehicles, but all orders are direct to Manufacturer OR dealerships are all manufacturer owned/ran, and not privately owned.
Alcohol - cut out the distributors - Direct sale from Manufacturer to liquor stores... But those snakes in the middle always want their cut, so it'll never happen. |

Let's call this what it is:
Fuck stealerships. In the year 2023 I should be able to log on to a website, order what I want, and then show up to a retail location in a month to finish paying for my vehicle so I can drive it home. Dealerships should not be involved in the car buying process except for final delivery and warranty work. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Arguably the quickest factory production vehicle ever Their figures all include rollout so you can't really compare it to official numbers. It has 5 more HP than the Plaid, but the Plain is AWD and also has that power at the full RPM range, vs peak HP of the Demon 170. That said I'd be curious to see real head to head drag races. Beast of a car though. |

Couple of years ago my sister down in Florida bought the first available Dodge Demon, got a custom plate for it “LUCIFER”, proceeded to tweak the tuning a bit and under the auspices of Johnny Bohmer racing, pushed that thing over 200 mph at Kennedy Space center runway.
Just for fun. She’d talked about another run over 220 but after talking it over with a math prof at Ga. Tech, decided there really wasn’t going to be enough horsepower to beat the air resistance. Made a video and posted it over on Youtube. I think she’s back to driving Lambos again (she’s owned a few), flying helicopters for a change. Everyone needs a hobby or twelve. This is Laurelle driving: https://youtu.be/qzPv4aYq1gY |

So according to some, if we sell an item in the EE that is highly desired and price it accordingly, we are dirty capitalists? Well, OK then.

On the other hand, if you had a transferrable M-16 you bought in 1990 for $1000, for example, you sure as shit wouldn't sell it for $5000 today, now would you? It's supply and demand. |

I'd put money on a Plaid beating it at the drag strip 9/10 times. If its like their 1/4 mile numbers when the Demon first came out, they listed the best time achieved under perfect conditions and when all the stars aligned lol. 8.9 one time in a perfect world... When the Plaids do 9.2-9.4 over and over and over again with full interior |

They charge more because people want it. You called two dealerships looking for one. A bunch of other people are doing it too. MSRP is Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price. A dealer can ask anything they want for a car. IF no one is buying they will lower the price until someone does.
Pretty sad though that someone WILL pay the mark up then within a week wrap it around a telephone pole. |
