SRT-10's for Sale per Autotrader

I'll be selling my truck once it's back together. Going to ask 60 for it turnkey.

How 'bout when the FACTORY dumps the wholesale price by $20,000+? THAT'S where the REAL hurt has come from - not some Joe consumer.
Everything is indexed off from what you can get a BRAND NEW one for.

So long as you have DC corp making crazy deals with dealerships like Woodhouse, good luck in seeing anything more than $30k average retail for a long time from ANY seller, be it private or commercial.

The good news is, there won't be new trucks available for much longer. Whether that equates to higher used truck prices or not is anybody's guess, but at least there's a CHANCE now. Hasn't been much chance for that these past two years though.

Please allow me to respectfully disagree.....the truck is EXACTLY what they advertise....it gets shitty gas mileage, your payments are as high as that of a nice 1-ton, maintenance is as high as anything else with a Viper/equivalent engine, and because of the weight, it's not as fast as a Viper....all of us have seen (I tried to search and find one for about 10 minutes and cannot) posts where people claim the truck sucks because they decided to ignore everything on the fawking sticker of the car.....

They either can't afford the gas, can't afford payments, or want a faster CAR.....look at the value of toyota trucks - people buy them new, keep them, and rarely sell them with less than 100k miles used....ie, values hold true, and the demand is greater than the supply.....if those that had bought these new would have kept them, the used market would be bare and people would have had to buy new ones at a better price in order to join the club....understand, some people have to sell due to personal circumstance, and I understand that - not trying to bag on them...

It's just like selling your house....if you live in a neighborhood with stable folks and nobody hardly ever sells, value is strong and houses sell quickly.....if every third house is for sale, and many have been foreclosures, the market goes in the toilet.....

Granted, DC could have probably did better marketing/adverts to support the brand, as well as other things like including these in the 7/70 warranty, but people who bought these trucks expecting the speed of a 10 second stocker, with room for 12, the mileage of a civic, and $400 payments didn't pay attention when they looked at the sticker, nor when they signed the paperwork.....people dumping these, cheaply, on the used market have made new ones tougher to sell and impacted DC.....

Understand, I do agree with you.....DC could have done better, but some of our fellow consumers should shoulder a good deal of the blame....if everyone was like Wifey, hoarding parts and preaching the praises, value would be through the roof :D Also, at $55k, I wouldn't have been able to afford mine and meet all these great people, so it's kind of a double edged sword :dontknow:
 
Ok - I genuinely know of about five or six people complaining about the truck not being "Viper" like enough for them, and totally missing the facts about the truck.

But yet I've only just recently seen 125+ 2006 RC trucks sold to/from Woodhouse Dodge at incredibly discounted prices (-$20k average). That's not even counting the several other discounting dealers that were on AutoTrader throughout the last 2 years.

You're suggesting I should still place "a good deal of the blame" for low market prices on Joe customer reseller for the low prices, and not discount-happy DC and dealerships selling HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of NEW trucks lower than the private seller originally bought theirs for.

While there may be a tiny iota of blame for Joe consumer, I think it is insignificant - almost not worth even mentioning. Certainly not "a good deal" of blame.

Consumer rule 101 - all used item prices are going to be indexed to what you can get a NEW item for. If the new item is selling at $35k, the used one is going to need to be equal or less - that's just how it works.
You can only blame DC and the dealers for the truck's incredibly low new truck price. Joe consumer doesn't sell new trucks.

And almost equally guaranteed, Joe Consumer is certainly going to try to get as much of his/her money back to the extent that they can - or within what rule 101 will allow for. Of course Joe consumer is going to be near the same low price as new - they pretty much HAVE to.

DC is most certainly to blame - they totally buggered their price-point for this truck. What I'd love to know is how much this new adjusted wholesale price encroaches on their profit margin. Probably a fair amount, hence the stop of production. Good - cut the losses and move on to the CHALLENGER SRT-8!

Good point regarding pricing.....I wonder what the original pricepoint should have been to move these units??? $40k for an RC, $45k for a QC??? I wonder if they were scared it might draw from the Viper market???

I definitely see where you are coming from....
 
I ran mine of cars.com for a few weeks, no luck. On eBay, my '05 QC brought nearly $31K which I think is an absolute steal for these things. I didn't want to part with it, but bigger priorities came into play. I sure thought someone around here (or Viper Alley) would scoop it up when I advertised it below $30K. Guess it's good that it didn't work out that way!

With tonneau, Sirius and sunroof, somebody got a hell of a deal off you!

Just crazy what these prices have become...I'd never ever be selling if I had bought at these ridiculous prices.
 
I'm toying with putting my truck back stock, keeping the motor and buying a viper to drop it into :)
 
The main problem with the truck is f'n DCX and Woodhouse f'ing the market up. My dealer wanted $15k over list when it first came out. Its absolute horseS*T for Daimler to drop the price by $20k. Shows you just how screwed up the Dodge executive team is to grossly overestimate the market that they have to dump them and run. You all just need to be aware that if Dodge ever makes a specialty vehicle DON'T buy it when it first comes out. I mean don't get me wrong...you expect to pay a premium for specialty cars when they first come out....but the dropped the price by like 40% or more?

So - Motto is .....wait a while when the challenger comes out and you'll probaby get it for 50% off what the first street pricing is...
 
And why did DC throw the incentives to dealers? Because all those ignorant civilians who could look at the window see 9mpg #'s and maybe calculate payments in their head, see past the Viper emblem to the 1500lb weight diff said WTF this ain't no Viper, it's an overpriced gas sucking heavy truck so sell it to the suckers and Viper fanatics. Oh wait maybe there was not enough of us and the suckers have been giving them back as soon as they figure it out just making it worse.
It's a product that -did- does not sell!
 
Challenger is a sweet looking ride but if it comes in under 4000 LB it will be amazing.So the price will have to be right or it will be a repeat of Prowler,Ram SRT 10 proportions.
Cause 18 year olds are not lined up for them now and never will be if they want 45,000 for it.

In my huble opinion the Jeep SRT8 had a lot to do with the low selling price of the SRT10. AWD, better gas mileage, faster, and a cheaper sticker price. Just do a search and see what those things sell at used. I almost bought one, but I think they'll drop a bit over the next year. The SRT10 is much more attractive now, but the 2wd sucks balls.

Those Jeeps REALLY hold their value....my brother in law just traded in his 06 Jeep SRT-8 with over 15K miles on it and got a significant amount of cash back when he traded it in on a 4K mile 05 QC SRT-10 Ram.

They are great cars.
 
Not sure how much the Jeep has to do with but can't argue with the logic. The price started to tank before the Jeeps hit the market - it was the gas scare that killed it....
 
Picked up many more competition listings in my 50 mile radius the last 2-3 weeks.
Yet, I also am receiving many more calls now, too. Go figure.
Got a few people coming to look at it this weekend.
Hopefully I can really sell it now it comes to the real possibility I may get an offer!

Good luck with the sale, hope you get mucho dinero and send the trend upward on these babies :D
 
I'm not going to say history will repeat itself but, you couldn't give away a muscle car in the '70's .Some sat on lots discounted for almost a year or longer because of some of the same problems in the market today. (gas/insurance). If you say well this is just a truck I would beg to differ. There was alot of design and forethought that went into this product. Some complain its a truck that can't tow. Well how about the El Camino? A car that thinks its a truck. Who would have thought the price for a clean example would be in the stratosphere? Its not just about the money either. Bottom line, these are unique vehicles that are just a blast to drive and if you see the counts of all the visiting "blowjobs" trying to steal one on E-bay , there is obvious interest. There is a new one bidding right now for 41k. Not too shabby. If you like it, step up to the plate and pay the lady. Otherwise sit down and keep quiet. Enjoy your politically correct hybrid.
