Charles at 51st State Autos has some build slots available for the Challenger Hellcat. This would get me my Hellcat in my spec around the end of April.
Whilst I have an order in with a stateside dealer at list price but I have no idea as to when my order will or even get built. Dodge's allocation process seems a little bit hit and miss.
So can any of you guys out there give me a little feedback on the dealer.
Happy New Year

Who's the dealer?
I've had an order in place since July, with a $10k deposit with a dealer in Orlando FL. They are now giving me the run-around. Originally said end Nov - then end Dec. Now saying they have a $100k bid on my order and would I care to match it, or would I like my deposit back. Still no delivery date.

Hi if Charles says he can get you then i am sure you will get the vehicle. I have known him for over 12 years and he knows his stuff and has very good contacts in America specially when its dodge

Much appreciated Zubair. Thanks for the advice.
Matt that really is very bad news.
As to the dealer in the US I would rather not say at the moment.
My deposit was only $2000. $10000 and then to try and stiff you is really taking the p**s

I got Charles to source my Raptor this time last year. Top bloke, and will definitely use him again when I change. Well worth the expense to have someone do all the footwork/paperwork, IMO.

With the £ falling of a cliff against the $ it really is not doing me any favours.
