You may be shocked to hear this, but you can still buy a brand new one. Dodge Charger or Challenger from the seller. There are still more than 5,000 of the muscle cars in stock at Dodge dealerships across the country, which may or may not be a good thing.

After what seemed like an eternity, Stellantis ended production LX (Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300) and LC (Dodge Challenger) launched in December 2023. The brand was paving the way for the next generation of the Charger, which we now know will arrive. electric And six cylinder power. Dodge fans were, of course, outraged, especially over the deaths of the popular SRT and Hellcat models. Some may have assumed that customers would rush into dealerships, cash in hand, screaming for the last of these V8-powered muscle cars, especially as Dodge produces special-edition Last Call models.

This does not appear to be the case. Using Dodge’s own inventory search tool, I found that a total of 5,646 brand-new Dodge Chargers and Challengers are still available at Dodge dealerships nationwide.

There is a 993 Charger SXT and a 695 Charger Scat Pack. There are only 49 Challenger SXTs, but there are over 1,000 Challenger Scat Packs, the majority of which are Scat Pack Wide Body models.

While many of these cars have dealer-level rebates, some of the Scat Pack and SRT models do not, which may explain why many of them are sitting around.

Cargurus says the car has been on the list for about 400 days.

Some dealers may be willing to make a deal to move some of this metal as it gathers dust. Interested buyers may have a tough time trying to score a deal on a V8 Charger or Challenger, given how greedy many dealers are and the continued popularity of V8 models that we may never see them from Dodge again.
