$228,000 Dodge Challenger Sold on eBay
Is there any question that the new 2008 Dodge Challenger will be a hot item? No, but Jesus Mary and Joseph, a special edition 2008 Challenger sold on eBay for $228,143.43...eeek! Granted, this special edition muscle car features a custom B5 blue paint scheme and comes complete with 2 VIP tickets to the Challenger 500 NASCAR race.
Sound expensive? Don't worry, base model 2008 Challengers will sell in the neighborhood of $38,000, not cheap but a far cry from this eBay sticker. The new SRT8's will come standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission, 6.1L Hemi engine worth 425hp and 420 ft-lbs of torque. I'd assume dealers will be selling these cars well over sticker, considering there will be a short suppy of 6,400 produced the first year.

This is just another example of how some people are willing to pay for the status of having the car “first.” Hope they had a good time at the race…..

I know someone in my town with a new challenger the sticker price was $38,000 and the dealer made him pay 65,000 or he would sell it to someone else. now I bet dodge wishes they were selling like that when they first produced them.
