Challenger 2009 Coronavirus update: New contactless services to help keep you safe. I requested more photos and information Which they did and they followed up with a phone call to make sure I got what I requested. Great experience. Scott is easy to work worth and sells clean vehicles. Buying process went very smooth. The Sales personnel was very professional and utmost willing to make a deal. They are straight to the point and try to fit your needs. My first and only visit, I left with a vehicle of my choice at a great price. Stop by and shop, you will not be disappointed. Awesome people to talk with. Seems to care about your needs. I would recommend this dealership. Would not talk to me on email. Demanded to have my phone or would not communicate with me. This car isn't advertised at the moment. Therefore, I assume I missed on it. Thanks anyways!!! I'll go somewhere else,,,. Couteous, and in continous contact to follow-up with pressuring potential buyers. Although I purchased a Ford F from another dealership it was because of the trim package alone that wasn't available. Would certainly contact them again. It was fair. I had to call them an ask if the suv was still available. They said they would call me back an never did. Working with Cale was a great experience. Made purchasing the Dodge Charger an excellent experience. Purchased the vehicle in July and he still responds to text messages. As an out of State buyer honesty and integrity serve to gain a customer's confidence and business. Brice was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions. They disclosed any and all would be flaws of the vehicle. Buy here with confidence knowing you'll be treated right. I have pinned the dealership for consideration in all future vehicle purchases. Very Good dealer straight forward with everything processing sale Quick and easy!! FJ was just as described, very helpful, they made buying it a breeze and worked everything out to make it convenient for us to pick up. Would definitely buy from again! Steven the sales person was very attentive and helpful. The asking price was a bit high for the cosmetic flaws. The car was very well equipped and so far seems mechanically sound. I paid a little too much for the car, but with the low miles and heated seats back up camera and other extras it was still a value. Willing to work with us and helpful. Only downfall was they seemed slightly pushy when it came to us wanting to wait and look at our own financial loan. Kept trying to push their financers and we have been dealing with our own bank for decades and wanted to stay with them. In the Challenger, Dodge has created a great-looking retro-muscle car that offers three levels of old-school, rear-wheel-drive brute force, and they all handle considerably better than their '70s inspiration. The only thing the Challenger has trouble passing is the gas pump, as the SRT8 gets slapped with a substantial gas-guzzler tax. One of the most anticipated American retro-muscle cars, the Dodge Challenger appeared briefly in The two-door, rear-wheel-drive Challenger seems to have hit the styling middle line — the new version is not an identical copy of the '70s icon, but it's easily recognized as inspired by it. The new version is big — It is a striking automobile that has good ride characteristics, owing largely to its use of the Chrysler and Dodge Charger platform. Dodge has planned well with three trims. The SE's 3. Reviewers feel the SE will appeal to buyers looking for a distinctively styled V6 coupe that will preserve some sanity at the gas pump. Or choose hp and lb-ft of torque by selecting the optional six-speed manual transmission, which uses a two-disk clutch system for easier shifting with lower clutch pedal effort. A Multi-Displacement System, standard with the five-speed automatic, switches from eight to four cylinders during highway cruising to improve fuel economy. Its 6. This Hemi has been massaged with a high-performance cam and special cylinder heads, intake, and exhaust systems. All of this is set in a reinforced engine block, with a forged steel crankshaft, high-strength piston rods, and a special anti-foaming oil pan. Most road tests so far have focused on the SRT8 and have generated 0-to times of 4. Unlike its rival the Mustang, strapped with a solid rear axle, the Challenger features a five-link independent rear suspension. Some reviewers note similarities between the ride of the SE and the Dodge Charger — no surprise there, for they have similar mechanicals. It should be noted that the six-speed manual comes in the Track Pak, which includes the twin-disc clutch, famous pistol-grip shifter, limited-slip rear end, performance steering, load-leveling shocks, hill-start assist applies the brakes when you start on an incline to prevent roll back , metal pedal covers, and high-performance mufflers. Moving on up to the performance peak, the STR8, the ride stays civilized, making it a grand highway cruiser. Yes, you can get into a lot of trouble very quickly with the big Hemi. The standard traction control system does a good job of translating wheel spin to forward motion, but you can turn it off and just melt the big inch tires in billows of white smoke. The manual transmission has a solid feel to it and gets different mufflers that produce a deeper tone, while the five-speed automatic performs well with crisp upshifts and fast downshifts. Overall, the Challenger handles quite well given its size and bulk, with little body roll, substantial grip, and smooth transitions in quick maneuvers — such as on a slalom course or when engaging the twisties. Dodge has followed this formula in its new interpretation of the Challenger. Thus, sitting in a Challenger is much like sitting in a recent Dodge or Chrysler sedan. Reviewers note that the interior was assembled with care, though the materials are rather ordinary. Most interior materials are dark, with chrome door handles, control knobs, gauge bezels, and a big chrome band around the shifter boot to brighten things up. The front seats are heavy bolstered buckets on the SRT8 that include leather outers and velour inserts to keep you planted. The large steering wheel tilts and telescopes for comfortable adjustment. These gauges are easy to read even in bright daylight, because they are recessed and plainly marked; the SRT8 gauges get a light facing with dark numbers all illuminated with a blue-green light that matches the digital display. The SRT8 also gets a message center in the tach that offers displays for functions including timing your own or quarter-mile, braking, and lateral acceleration performance. The center console, which includes the infotainment and HVAC controls, has a moderate lateral slope toward the driver. Road view is good, with no large blind spots. The big news is that both the back seat and trunk are fit for human habitation and use! Reviewers were surprised at the ample back seat space when compared to its leading competitor, the Mustang. The back seats will accommodate two smaller adults and a child, although with moderate legroom, reviewers recommend short trips. The back includes a fold-down armrest with cupholders, two central vents, and two integral headrests. The back seats also fold down, adding to the other big news: This muscle car has a usable trunk, sort of. The Reviewers, however, found fault with the fairly high liftover required to get things into that storage space. The Challenger shows its performance-car nature in its trims and their various option packages. The SE is the most civil. Options include leather, nav system, a more-powerful stereo system, inch chrome-aluminum wheels, bi-xenon headlamps, hood-into-fender stripes and functional hood scoops — they bring cool air into the engine compartment, but not directly into the engine - the function message center, and the Track Pack, mentioned above, which includes the six-speed manual transmission and a number of other performance mechanical upgrades. The top-line SRT8 has Brembo brakes, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, functional hood scoops, a polished aluminum fuel cap, heated sport seats, and inch forged aluminum wheels. The SRT8 has a flat black rear spoiler and a deeper front spoiler. The Track Pack, upgraded Kicker audio system, nav system, hood stripes, and high-performance staggered-size tires are also options. All Challengers feature dual front airbags and side curtain airbags. In addition, Hill Start Assist, automatic headlamps, and a tire pressure monitoring system are also available. The '09 Challenger is a huge hit with owners, virtually all of whom rave about its looks and power. There are, however, a few issues worth mentioning, such as the gas-saver feature with the six-speed manual that makes shifting from first through fourth challenging at best, and the difficulty of accessing the rear seats from the driver's side of the Challenger. Additionally, a significant blind spot is noted when changing lanes and passing. Much of this is overlooked, however, by the vast majority of owners who can't get enough of the '09 Challenger's acceleration, performance, drive quality, Boston Acoustics sound system, comfort, engine rumble, six-speed manual transmission, fold-down rear seats, and, of course, its killer styling.
