2017 Dodge Charger Scat Pack - 6.4L

In June of 2017 I decided that I needed to get down to 2 cars. The choices were a 2008 Corvette, 2010 Dodge Hemi Challenger & a 2014 Cadillac ATS. The choice was a no-brainer. The Challenger & the Cadillac had to go. So, I looked a selling them to a private party or doing a 2-car trade to save the sales tax on a new car. So, off to look at cars. My first stop was to my local Cadillac dealer that I purchased the ATS from. I was looking at an ATS-V V6 twin turbo Coupe. After looking at the sticker price (north side of $65,000) I thought about a used one that was sitting on the lot. Ruled that out when they wouldn't budge off the $52,000 price tag for a 9,000-mile 1-year-old car. Also, they were not really interested in a 2-car trade a & the numbers for the cars were really low based on Kelly Blue Book & Edmunds or even the dealers "Black Book .

So, I went back to the dealer I bought the Challenger from & as they are only 6 miles away from my house. The first question was would you do a 2-car trade? Answer, You bet. So, the sales guy took the Challenger over to the used car lot for an appraisal. That took about 10 minutes. He brought the car back & I told him I would bring the Cadillac ATS down in about 20 mins. Returned with the ATS and it went over to the used car lot for an appraisal & returned in about 10 minutes. Now comes the fun part... the car that I want has been sold. My sales guy says he will do a search and find me another one. He finds one about 75 miles away at a sister dealership. OK... let's make a deal. His first set of numbers was a bit low and I countered. Sales manager OK's the deal. The car should be in the next day. Ding Ding.. phone call from the sales guy. My car is not available but they have another but a slightly lighter shade of gray (Max Steel Gray). OK, I can live with that. Ding Ding... another phone call. The trading dealer will not release either car. But, they have one in my original color choice (Crystal Granite Metallic) & it has the upgraded wheel package ($2,200 option). I will take it & the wheel package is free as we have a signed agreement.
