It's scary to Mustang and Camaro executives, but it's been released that the '09 Challenger base model may be selling for at little as $23 grand...
Chrysler has announced that they will be selling the 2009 Dodge Challenger in August for as little as $23,995. Steven Landry, Chrysler executive vice president for North American sales, has announced last week that the 2009 Challenger will start at $23,995 and will range up to $39,995.
"Stuart Schorr, a Chrysler spokesman, worked to clarify Landry's remarks by saying that the final prices for the 2009 Challenger have not yet been set, and the executive's prices are "not in the current proposal." Schorr said a final decision should come within the next couple of months."
"The price sounds competitive," said Tom Libby, senior director of industry analysis at the Power Information Network. "At 23k - that opens it up, frankly, to most buyers that are interested in a muscle car and performance vehicle."
The main competition with a $23k starting price is the Ford Mustang who holds the sticker price of $19,650 for the V6 model. We think that 23k for the entry level Challenger could be a great entry point for younger enthusiasts, especially considering the huge quantity of parts that are going to hit the performance market.
