someone told me he test drove an srt4 with a stage 2. I do not remember thwe name of the dealer but it was something like frontier dodge (north of san jose but south of sacramento. might have been folsom dodge, honestly don't remember).
Basically, I want everyone to call the dealer they bought the car at if they have the stage 2 in yet. The parts guy Capitol Dodge here in san jose calls every week to try and get some info because he keeps getting calls from people like me every week asking if it is in yet. He wants to put the mopar accessories on an srt4 (coilovers, intake, stage 2, etc..) just to see how long it will sit on the lot.
When I bought my car at Folsom Lake Dodge in Norcal, the sales manager said that they would be getting 2 SRT-4's with the stage 2 upgrades. But I have not heard anymore about it.
They're the same monkeys that told me a month ago when they only had a silver SRT-4 in stock that they would be getting yellow ones in "Sometime around July". Drove by the next week and there was a yellow one sitting out front. Didn't stop by to give them a hard time. I did get to test drive one there which was good. I'd probably be inclined to buy from Swift Dodge anyways, since they're a block from my work and have no markups at all to argue over.
Their giving you guys shit. No Mopar upgrades are out *yet*. The Stage 1 upgrade was listed at IAS as being out this spring, and the Stage 2 this winter.
it is pretty funny too see what some dealers do and/or say. I laughed at one of the guys at cap dodge, when I pulled in front of their building where customers park in my nwe srt4 I bought from them the guys has the balls to ask me to move my car because I am where the customers park. There were about five other parks available right next to me. I asked the guy if he was serious and he said yes. I laughed and said fuck you and wasted an hour bs'ing with the guy in service (a friend of the family). I don't think the salesman liked my "sure I will move my car...when i am done" attitude.
Guess what capitol dodge did to a few srt4's? had aftermarket sunroofs installed! :shock: Even the salesman I talked to said they always leak after two or three years. eww!

Swift dodge wants $19,995 the lowest they will go is $19,500!
I had it all set up to buy a yellow one from swift in davis, the lowest they would go was $19,500, I stoped by Folsom lake dodge just for the hell of it on my way home from work, I saw they had three yellows, three blacks, two reds, and three silvers.... I asked for the sales manager, told him I was working out a deal with swift, he said what would I offer, I told him 19,200...didn't even take one minute.....he said done lets do the paper work...I should have offered less, damn! Swift wouldn't beat their deal so I ended up buying the car for $19,200 from Folsom Lake Dodge.
