    so i have a fascination with the 2010 camaros..some people dont like them. i love them..i heard the price range(on gm websitez) was going to be from around 20 to 30k..there is a dark grey one on ebay for 45k!! and they show a photo of the sticker and it says 35k!!!what the heck..ok ok, i can see 35, but 45 when the sticker says 35.. i think they did this with the challengers too..thought that cars were supposed to be cheaper nowadays...

    The prices should come down on those cars after the first year and the "premium" for having one of the first camaros dies down.

    I think . . .

    The SRT8 Charger's haven't leveled out much. But I found a Challenger SRT8 for $37 which is about what a similar Charger goes for so the Challenger may be settling down. I have no idea why these SRT8 Chargers are still so expensive.

    ya to me, the chargers wouldnt be that much..i guess when you get a family sedan with a hemi, the price kinda goes up...im not a biggg fan of the challenger, but love it in black or white...white preferably due to my liking of the original vanishing point movie(1973)...

    I'm confused, why would you, a guy who never needs more than one passenger seat, buy that terrible insult to the real Chargers, when you could buy a lighter, waaaaaay sexier Challenger for the same money?

    He didn't say he bought one, just that he saw one for that price.

    There's always a steep price added to most "new" models when they first hit the streets. The M3 was going for a 10-20k premium depending on the configuration you wanted and where you were buying it.

    Here's one for you. The first four 06 Mustang GT500's in Houston were sold by drawing for $100,000. Now I think that's totally retarded and I love cars a fully understand the prestige factor of owning one of the first of something. But a 30k markeup is ridiculous for a 70k car.

    btw: if you look around you can find 06 GT500s with very low miles for the mid 40s. Sometimes the high thirties even.

    Oh, btw: I will not be buying a GT500.
