Really? They’re all marking up? If so by how much (were you told anyways).

I guess you haven't been following this process for too long. Dealer markups have been made known since ordering opened. But I believe most of us were able to purchase at MSRP or slightly below.

How did you lose on the srt trade...most of us have equity in them?

I'm curious, too.

 

[CaptMoe]

Dunno,

Had 60k owing... maybe they didn’t give me as good of a trade as I thought.... and I obviously didn’t negotiate very well.

If you're happy with the deal then that is all that matters. But you should always try to maximize your investment however possible.
I refinanced my '18 after a year which lowered my payment substantially. Rounding up the new payment gave me a decent amount of equity which I was able to use as my DP for the '21 without having to put any additional money down out of pocket.

I imagine he has never had an Audi either.

Those are two different animals. When the Q7 came out I wanted one to replace my 2003 Durango. I ended up buying a 2006 Durango because the Audi didn't have the room I needed. Despite all the luxury and engineering it wasn't practical for me. And I would make the same decision today. These luxury "SUVs" are merely sedans on steroids. They don't do anything for me. We all have different tastes. I wouldn't knock anyone for their choice of vehicle. It's their choice.
Having said that, this still is a Durango SRT forum, correct?

Yes. First of 3 runs and forgot to lower tire pressure so tons of wheel spin despite AWD. Best run that night was 11.3@119.best o-60 3.2 View attachment 114812

This is where I envy the other "SUVs". Their color choices leave me wishing Dodge would offer a little more for us.
That blue is beautiful. BMW's deep purple is absolutely gorgeous, too.

When I ordered my hellcat Durango I was very interested in that inviolet color. But the dealership could not show me any images of any hellcat let alone one in that color so I went the safe route and went black.

Since that time of course there’s been several photos on this forum of the inviolate color and I think it looks spectacular!

In-Violet is not available on the SRT trim.
And it doesn't look like that picture in real life. I researched it and found a video online of a car dealer showing it off. It looks more black with a hint of purple. But a very faint hint. They could have done a really nice job with that but they failed twice: too black and not offered on the SRT.

Oh hell. I am back in. Ordered a pizza yesterday for pickup, and a DDHC for delivery today. View attachment 115042

LOL!!! I knew it, the way you kept talking about your ex and the fact you didn't get rid of any of her stuff made it pretty obvious.. In the words of Kramer, "Why don't you two just admit that you're in love with each other!!!"
Congrats!
