I went with the 2024 RT, S&S, plus and blacktop, and have been told that it pretty much the same as the 2025. Just make sure to have them test the 12v battery and do all of the firmware updates. My thinking is that you could get a sweetheart deal on it.

 

I hope so, I'm going to reach out to the dealer tomorrow.

Any reason not to get a 2024 is they will be (already are) considered a year older at trade in time.

 

They are same exact car .
The only downside is the older year will hit you at trade in time.

 

Heck the official media for a 2026 Charger is the same footage from December 2024.

 

I notice that when I find a 2024 RT for sale, it tends to be pretty loaded with all of the packages. I’m hoping I can get a better deal on one as they have been sitting on the lot longer. We’ll see.

 

I think that you can do pretty good on the 24. I think that I may have overpaid at 51k on a fully loaded RT. I have seen some folks get them as low as 46k new at 70k msrp.

 

Yeah, I'm going to make a run at a loaded one one at the end of the month for $45k.
The psychology of buying a car is weird. Really doesn't make great financial sense to buy a new car, but the heart wants what it wants. But, once you start get fixated on getting a good deal, (a "good deal" some how justifying the purchase), a couple thousand dollars can seemingly make the difference between feeling like you have won and if you haven't due to your own inner ego.
51k isn't that much different from $45k in the big picture. If you really enjoy the car and can afford it, then $51k is money well spent.

 

I was able to get my Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Plus + Sun and Sound + Blacktop for 44K out the door.

To me, this car was an incredible deal. It has everything I want (beautiful interior, exterior), great safety features (things like 360 camera, proximity, ACC and more), convenience and comfort features (remote start, ventilated seats, seat memory, USB-C charging, vents for the rear passengers) and POWAH.

If you have an EV charger available to you or you can get an EV charger installed, I would definitely recommend this vehicle. If you can't find a convenient and consistent way to charge the car, I would 80% recommend AGAINST getting this vehicle because EV charging can be very hit or miss.

I would definitely recommend taking advantage of the prices now IF you can get a good deal. I can't image the prices will get any lower but if they do, I won't be mad about it, as this vehicle already felt like an absolute STEAL for the price I got it for.

 

Im hoping for a similar deal. Have a sales person working on it, I gave him a $45.5k demand, playing the waiting game now. Hopefully he will feel the pressure as the end of the month nears.

 

I got a similar deal and could not turn it down. Same packages, same price. We have over 5000 miles together since 1 April and the only issue, other than the ones fixed by SW updates, we've had is a bad knuckle on one of the rear wheel connectors. I love this car.

 

I ended up deciding to take a zero down lease deal at a reasonable $400/month all in price. 2years. Residual 41k. I figure if I love the car I’m 2 years, I can return it and probably get one cheaper used (someone else’s lease return likely).
2 days in to it, I got to say, this is a really, really nice car. Fingers crossed that all the updates keep me from the issues that some have had.
