The '''Dodge Challenger''' is a retro-futuristic Pony/Muscle car manufactured by American carmaker [[Dodge]] since 2008 as a response to the popularity of the equally retro-futuristic S197 [[Ford Mustang]]. The Challenger will also soon be competing with a resurrected [[Chevrolet Camaro]] and usher in a new age of muscle cars in America.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
* For model year 2009, Dodge has revealed a '''Drag Race Package''' for the Challenger. Changes from the stock SRT8 from which it will be based include a crash diet course that sheds 1000 lbs. Up front motivation will come in two forms: the 6.1 litre or 5.7 litre HEMI or 5.9-liter Magnum Wedge in either manual or automatic. Pricing is expected to begin in the mid $30K range.[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080714.004/dodge-reveals-dodge-challenger-drag-race-package-details]

The '''Dodge Challenger''' is a retro-futuristic Pony/Muscle car manufactured by American carmaker [[Dodge]] since 2008 as a response to the popularity of the equally retro-futuristic S197 [[Ford Mustang]]. The Challenger will also soon be competing with a resurrected [[Chevrolet Camaro]] and usher in a new age of muscle cars in America.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
* For model year 2009, Dodge has revealed a '''Drag Race Package''' for the Challenger. Changes from the stock SRT8 from which it will be based include a crash diet course that sheds 1000 lbs. Up front motivation will come in two forms: the 6.1 litre or 5.7 litre HEMI or 5.9-liter Magnum Wedge in either manual or automatic. Pricing is expected to begin in the mid $30K range.[http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080714.004/dodge-reveals-dodge-challenger-drag-race-package-details]

70.183.19.205: /* Pricing */

The '''[[Dodge]] Challenger''' was [[Chrysler]]'s first real foray into the hot pony car market that had been dominated by [[Ford]]'s wildly successful [[Ford Mustang|Mustang]] and [[GM]]'s [[Chevrolet Camaro]] and [[Pontiac Firebird]] twins. Until the Challenger's introduction, Chrysler was content to let [[Plymouth]] carry the pony car banner with the [[Plymouth Barracuda|Barracuda]], but while the Barracuda tried, it wasn't really much of a threat to the Mustang or the Camaro and Firebird for a variety of reasons. That would all change in 1970, when the Barracuda was redesigned and now on the E-body platform, distancing itself from its hum-drum A-body [[Plymouth Valiant|Valiant]] origins. And now, Chrysler finally saw fit to add a Dodge model, aptly named Challenger, to do battle along side the Barracuda as an all-out assault on the Mustang, Camaro and Firebird.

BUT... was it ultimately a classic case of "too little, too late"? Many gearheads would rightly argue that 1970 was in fact the zenith of the muscle/pony car market, but in 1971, compression ratios started to decrease, insurance companies were levying hefty surcharges on high-powered muscle/pony cars, and a middle east oil embargo was on the horizon... it wasn't looking good for the muscle/pony car market (dare we even say they became ''politically incorrect''). Perhaps if the E-body Challenger and Barracuda had come out three years earlier, their collective fate might have been very different than what it turned out to be. For that reason, many car critics, perhaps unfairly, were quick to dismiss the Challenger and Barracuda as "arriving to the party too late and leaving too early".

Challengers, however, after decades of being mere used cars on the collector market, have seen their values soar into the stratosphere as of late, especially 1970-71 numbers-matching big-block models (even bogus Hemi models can still command a 6-figure price tag). And the demand for these doesn't show any trend of slowing down any time soon. It may have taken over 3 decades, but perhaps the Challenger (and Barracuda) are finally getting their proper due in the pony car market. So instead of being "too little too late", it looks more like an argument for "better late... than ''never''".

Here's a brief rundown on year to year changes:

===1970===

The Challenger was built on an all-new E-body platform, which was a shortened B-body [[Dodge Charger|Charger]]/[[Dodge Coronet|Coronet]] chassis, but the Challenger's wheelbase was 2" longer than the Barracuda's, and although they were corporate twins, they shared no body panels. The Challenger could be outfitted with just about any option, several different model configurations and every engine in Chrysler's lineup including the holy-grail 426 Hemi on R/T (Road/Track) models. There were base, SE, R/T and T/A models to choose from, and the SE and R/T model could be overlapped. Coupe and convertibles were available on all versions except the T/A, which was hardtop only.

Base models could have a 145 hp 3.7L (225 cid) Slant-6, 230 hp 5.2L (318 cid) V8 (standard on the SE) or a 6.2L (383 cid) V8 in 2- or 4-bbl guise (275 and 300 hp respectively). The base engine for the R/T technically was the 335 hp 383-4, but the 275 hp 5.5L (340 cid) V8 could be had too if one didn't want a big block. Optional was the 7.2L (440 cid) V8 with a 4- or 6-bbl (6-Pack) setup (375 and 390 hp respectively). And, of course, the 425 hp 7.0L (426 cid) Hemi. The lone engine choice on the T/A model was a 290 hp 340 6-pack V8. Got all that?

Their options list was equally exhausting, being available with such niceties as power windows, cruise control, air conditioning (except the 440-6 or the Hemi), overhead consoles... the list went on (literally). Hardtop SE models differed visually from base and R/T models by having a standard vinyl roof with a smaller back window than the rest. 4-speed manuals and 3-speed automatics were available on all engines, and 3-speed manuals could be had on all but the 383-4, 440-6 and the Hemi.

1970 was the highest-year selling Challenger, at almost 80,000 units altogether (including the T/A)

===1971===

Visual changes for this year was a new divided grille and the taillights were now separated with individual reverse lights in the middle, versus one single reverse light in the middle of last years single taillight design. The T/A was no more (although a look-alike package was offered with the black scooped hood and "go wing", but without the 340-6 engine) and there was some other shuffling of trim and packages as well. The R/T was no longer available as a convertible, the SE model lost its distinctive small rear window design, and the 340 was officially now standard in the R/T models. The previous 383, 440-6 (down 5 hp to 385) and 426 Hemi were still available carried over from last year, but the 440-4 was no longer available. Base and SEs still had the 225 Slant-6, 318, or 383 with 2- or 4-bbl carb. Sales were way down compared to last year, as the muscle/pony car market started taking huge sales and horsepower hits, averaging about 30,000 units this year.

===1972===

The party was over as far as SE, R/T, big-block engines and convertible bodystyles were concerned - they were all gone, never to return. The R/T was replaced by a new "Rallye" version, and was available with either the 318 or 340, with either the 3- or 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic. The Slant-6 was still standard in the base model. 1972 models differed from last year with a new grille design and the quad headlights in four separate individual slots. The taillight panel was all new as well with a brushed-aluminum design, and included the taillights and reverse lights in their own separate slots as well. Sales decreased to less than 26,000 total units.

===1973===

The rarely-ordered Slant-6 was dropped, the 318 was now the base engine for both the base and Rallye. The 340 could still be had on the Rallye. The largest visual change was the addition of the small black rubber "bumperettes" on the bumpers to satisfy the new federally-mandated 5-MPH impact standards. Sales actually increased to 33,000+ units this year.

===1974===

The final Challenger was visually unchanged from the 1973 model. The 340 was dropped, replaced by the 5.9L (360 cid) V8. Base and Rallye models continued, either available with the 318 or 360. The pony car market was clearly drying up, and the Challenger had quickly lost its way despite a promising start. By this time, the Ford Mustang had been downsized to the lowly [[Ford Pinto|Pinto]] platform, the [[Mercury Cougar]] was now a mid-size personal-luxury car based on the [[Ford Torino|Torino]], and even [[AMC]] realized they were fighting a losing battle as well, as they would discontinue the [[AMC Javelin|Javelin]] altogether at the end of this year. The Challenger and Barracuda would unfortunately suffer the same fate.

This would be the last the world would ever see or hear of a Dodge Challenger muscle car... or would it?

From the Challenger's dark and waning days of 1974, fast forward to year 2006. Chrysler, now owned by [[Cerebrus]] Capital Management, and has chosen to revive the Challenger. While it retains much of the same look as the original, this one is slated to be available with a 425 hp 6.1L (370 cid) V8 with a 5-speed automatic transmission (at least at first). For those keeping score, that is as much ''net'' horsepower as the almighty 426 Hemi had as a ''gross'' horsepower rating. It'll be based, once again, on a shortened Charger platform. Additionally, this [http://www.newdodgechallenger.net new Challenger] will have the tires and suspension to actually stop, corner and handle unlike the original, will have 150+ MPH capability - and get decent gas mileage to boot (relatively speaking). When the Challenger prototype was released at the 2006 Detroit NAIAS, approving onlookers had but 2 words to say: '''BUILD IT!'''.

And build it Chrysler will do. Scheduled for a February 2008 release... the Challenger will live again. Chevrolet will have a new Camaro in 2009/2010, and Ford will certainly have some new tricks up the Mustang's sleeve... so the pony car market will be ablaze once again. Unfortunately, Plymouth is no more, so there will be no Barracuda (although there ''is'' small speculation that one might appear as a Chrysler model, but as of now that is strictly speculation), Pontiac apparently doesn't seem to see another Firebird in its future (despite obvious demand for one), and AMC became history in 1988, so obviously another Javelin is out of the question... but for those who have been holding out faith for another good ol' American ponycar V8 shootout once again, their patience will be rewarded soon.

Recently added to the model lineup is a special edition car which Dodge labels as the [http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/0807_2009_dodge_challenger_drag_race_package/index.html Drag Race Package]. Such a car brings back memories of the infamous [[Muscle Car]] era where super-stock specials were built by the factory with ridiculous horsepower power ratings! This specific car has been stripped of an extra 1,000 pounds to reduce E.T.'s by a measurable amount. Deletions include body sealer, sound deadening, a ventilation system, airbags, rear seats, windshield wiper assembly, side- and rear-impact beams and subsequently, any chance the car can be DOT-certified for the street.

70.183.19.205: /* The NEW Dodge Challenger */

The '''[[Dodge]] Challenger''' was [[Chrysler]]'s first real foray into the hot pony car market that had been dominated by [[Ford]]'s wildly successful [[Ford Mustang|Mustang]] and [[GM]]'s [[Chevrolet Camaro]] and [[Pontiac Firebird]] twins. Until the Challenger's introduction, Chrysler was content to let [[Plymouth]] carry the pony car banner with the [[Plymouth Barracuda|Barracuda]], but while the Barracuda tried, it wasn't really much of a threat to the Mustang or the Camaro and Firebird for a variety of reasons. That would all change in 1970, when the Barracuda was redesigned and now on the E-body platform, distancing itself from its hum-drum A-body [[Plymouth Valiant|Valiant]] origins. And now, Chrysler finally saw fit to add a Dodge model, aptly named Challenger, to do battle along side the Barracuda as an all-out assault on the Mustang, Camaro and Firebird.

BUT... was it ultimately a classic case of "too little, too late"? Many gearheads would rightly argue that 1970 was in fact the zenith of the muscle/pony car market, but in 1971, compression ratios started to decrease, insurance companies were levying hefty surcharges on high-powered muscle/pony cars, and a middle east oil embargo was on the horizon... it wasn't looking good for the muscle/pony car market (dare we even say they became ''politically incorrect'').

And the demand for these doesn't show any trend of slowing down any time soon. It may have taken over 3 decades, but perhaps the Challenger (and Barracuda) are finally getting their proper due in the pony car market. So instead of being "too little too late", it looks more like an argument for "better late... than ''never''".

Here's a brief rundown on year to year changes:

===1970===

The Challenger was built on an all-new E-body platform, which was a shortened B-body [[Dodge Charger|Charger]]/[[Dodge Coronet|Coronet]] chassis, but the Challenger's wheelbase was 2" longer than the Barracuda's, and although they were corporate twins, they shared no body panels. The Challenger could be outfitted with just about any option, several different model configurations and every engine in Chrysler's lineup including the holy-grail 426 Hemi on R/T (Road/Track) models. There were base, SE, R/T and T/A models to choose from, and the SE and R/T model could be overlapped. Coupe and convertibles were available on all versions except the T/A, which was hardtop only.

Base models could have a 145 hp 3.7L (225 cid) Slant-6, 230 hp 5.2L (318 cid) V8 (standard on the SE) or a 6.2L (383 cid) V8 in 2- or 4-bbl guise (275 and 300 hp respectively). The base engine for the R/T technically was the 335 hp 383-4, but the 275 hp 5.5L (340 cid) V8 could be had too if one didn't want a big block. Optional was the 7.2L (440 cid) V8 with a 4- or 6-bbl (6-Pack) setup (375 and 390 hp respectively). And, of course, the 425 hp 7.0L (426 cid) Hemi. The lone engine choice on the T/A model was a 290 hp 340 6-pack V8. Got all that?

Their options list was equally exhausting, being available with such niceties as power windows, cruise control, air conditioning (except the 440-6 or the Hemi), overhead consoles... the list went on (literally). Hardtop SE models differed visually from base and R/T models by having a standard vinyl roof with a smaller back window than the rest. 4-speed manuals and 3-speed automatics were available on all engines, and 3-speed manuals could be had on all but the 383-4, 440-6 and the Hemi.

1970 was the highest-year selling Challenger, at almost 80,000 units altogether (including the T/A)

===1971===

Visual changes for this year was a new divided grille and the taillights were now separated with individual reverse lights in the middle, versus one single reverse light in the middle of last years single taillight design. The T/A was no more (although a look-alike package was offered with the black scooped hood and "go wing", but without the 340-6 engine) and there was some other shuffling of trim and packages as well. The R/T was no longer available as a convertible, the SE model lost its distinctive small rear window design, and the 340 was officially now standard in the R/T models. The previous 383, 440-6 (down 5 hp to 385) and 426 Hemi were still available carried over from last year, but the 440-4 was no longer available. Base and SEs still had the 225 Slant-6, 318, or 383 with 2- or 4-bbl carb. Sales were way down compared to last year, as the muscle/pony car market started taking huge sales and horsepower hits, averaging about 30,000 units this year.

===1972===

The party was over as far as SE, R/T, big-block engines and convertible bodystyles were concerned - they were all gone, never to return. The R/T was replaced by a new "Rallye" version, and was available with either the 318 or 340, with either the 3- or 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic. The Slant-6 was still standard in the base model. 1972 models differed from last year with a new grille design and the quad headlights in four separate individual slots. The taillight panel was all new as well with a brushed-aluminum design, and included the taillights and reverse lights in their own separate slots as well. Sales decreased to less than 26,000 total units.

===1973===

The rarely-ordered Slant-6 was dropped, the 318 was now the base engine for both the base and Rallye. The 340 could still be had on the Rallye. The largest visual change was the addition of the small black rubber "bumperettes" on the bumpers to satisfy the new federally-mandated 5-MPH impact standards. Sales actually increased to 33,000+ units this year.

===1974===

The final Challenger was visually unchanged from the 1973 model. The 340 was dropped, replaced by the 5.9L (360 cid) V8. Base and Rallye models continued, either available with the 318 or 360. The pony car market was clearly drying up, and the Challenger had quickly lost its way despite a promising start. By this time, the Ford Mustang had been downsized to the lowly [[Ford Pinto|Pinto]] platform, the [[Mercury Cougar]] was now a mid-size personal-luxury car based on the [[Ford Torino|Torino]], and even [[AMC]] realized they were fighting a losing battle as well, as they would discontinue the [[AMC Javelin|Javelin]] altogether at the end of this year. The Challenger and Barracuda would unfortunately suffer the same fate.

This would be the last the world would ever see or hear of a Dodge Challenger muscle car... or would it?

From the Challenger's dark and waning days of 1974, fast forward to year 2006. Chrysler, now owned by [[Cerebrus]] Capital Management, and has chosen to revive the Challenger. While it retains much of the same look as the original, this one is slated to be available with a 425 hp 6.1L (370 cid) V8 with a 5-speed automatic transmission (at least at first). For those keeping score, that is as much ''net'' horsepower as the almighty 426 Hemi had as a ''gross'' horsepower rating. It'll be based, once again, on a shortened Charger platform. Additionally, this [http://www.newdodgechallenger.net new Challenger] will have the tires and suspension to actually stop, corner and handle unlike the original, will have 150+ MPH capability - and get decent gas mileage to boot (relatively speaking).

And build it Chrysler will do. Scheduled for a February 2008 release... the Challenger will live again.

Unfortunately, Plymouth is no more, so there will be no Barracuda (although there ''is'' small speculation that one might appear as a Chrysler model, but as of now that is strictly speculation), Pontiac apparently doesn't seem to see another Firebird in its future (despite obvious demand for one), and AMC became history in 1988, so obviously another Javelin is out of the question... but for those who have been holding out faith for another good ol' American ponycar V8 shootout once again, their patience will be rewarded soon.

Dodge Challenger

2008-10-01T00:11:46Z

70.183.19.205: /* The NEW Dodge Challenger */

The '''[[Dodge]] Challenger''' was [[Chrysler]]'s first real foray into the hot pony car market that had been dominated by [[Ford]]'s wildly successful [[Ford Mustang|Mustang]] and [[GM]]'s [[Chevrolet Camaro]] and [[Pontiac Firebird]] twins. Until the Challenger's introduction, Chrysler was content to let [[Plymouth]] carry the pony car banner with the [[Plymouth Barracuda|Barracuda]], but while the Barracuda tried, it wasn't really much of a threat to the Mustang or the Camaro and Firebird for a variety of reasons. That would all change in 1970, when the Barracuda was redesigned and now on the E-body platform, distancing itself from its hum-drum A-body [[Plymouth Valiant|Valiant]] origins. And now, Chrysler finally saw fit to add a Dodge model, aptly named Challenger, to do battle along side the Barracuda as an all-out assault on the Mustang, Camaro and Firebird.

BUT... was it ultimately a classic case of "too little, too late"? Many gearheads would rightly argue that 1970 was in fact the zenith of the muscle/pony car market, but in 1971, compression ratios started to decrease, insurance companies were levying hefty surcharges on high-powered muscle/pony cars, and a middle east oil embargo was on the horizon... it wasn't looking good for the muscle/pony car market (dare we even say they became ''politically incorrect''). Perhaps if the E-body Challenger and Barracuda had come out three years earlier, their collective fate might have been very different than what it turned out to be. For that reason, many car critics, perhaps unfairly, were quick to dismiss the Challenger and Barracuda as "arriving to the party too late and leaving too early".

Challengers, however, after decades of being mere used cars on the collector market, have seen their values soar into the stratosphere as of late, especially 1970-71 numbers-matching big-block models (even bogus Hemi models can still command a 6-figure price tag). And the demand for these doesn't show any trend of slowing down any time soon. It may have taken over 3 decades, but perhaps the Challenger (and Barracuda) are finally getting their proper due in the pony car market. So instead of being "too little too late", it looks more like an argument for "better late... than ''never''".

Here's a brief rundown on year to year changes:

The '''Lamborghini Reventón''' is a [[supercar]] that debuted at the 2007 [[Frankfurt Motor Show|Frankfurt Auto Show]].<ref name="CarFront">{{cite web | title=The Lamborghini Reventon Has Been Revealed | publisher=CarFront.com |url=http://carfront.com/news/2007/09/10/the-lamborghini-reventon-has-been-revealed/ | accessdate=2007-09-12}}</ref> It will be the most powerful and expensive [[Lamborghini]] to date, costing one million euro.<ref name="edblog">{{cite web | title=2007 Frankfurt Auto Show: Lamborghini Reventon | publisher=Edmunds | url=http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/3347 | accessdate=2007-09-12}}</ref> The official press release states that only 20 will be built, but it was later reported that the total number would be 100.<ref name="motive">{{cite web | title=Lamborghini Reventon: Outrageous, But One Million Euros Outrageous? | publisher=Motive Magazine | url=http://www.motivemag.com/pub/news/Outrageous_But_One_Million_Euros_Outrageous.shtml | accessdate=2007-09-12}}</ref> The exterior styling was inspired by the F-22 Raptor.<ref name="CarFront"/> Although the exterior is partially new, almost the entire mechanics (including the engine) are taken directly from the [[Lamborghini Murciélago#LP640|Murciélago LP640]].<ref name="Sybarites">{{cite web | title=Lamborghini Reventón | publisher=sybarites | url=http://www.sybarites.org/2007/09/11/lamborghini-reventon/ | accessdate=2007-09-12}}</ref>

Initial reports suggest that the 6.5 litre V12 may receive a power boost of approximately 15 kilowatts (20 horsepower), bringing the new ouput close to 490 kW (660 horsepower).<ref name="Sybarites"/><ref name="edblog"/> In spite of this, and the car's [[Carbon fiber|carbon fibre]] components, the Reventón accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the same time as the [[Lamborghini Murciélago#LP640|Murciélago LP640]] (3.4 seconds).<ref name="motive"/>

The instrument panel in the Reventón comprises of three TFT liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with two different display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminum block, protected by a carbon fiber casing. The G-Force-Meter is completely new and it is one of the talking points of the Reventón. It displays the dynamic drive forces, longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking, as well as transversal acceleration around bends. These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. [[Formula One]] teams also use a similar device to analyse dynamic forces.

By simply pressing a button, the driver can switch to the second, quasi-analogical display, where there are the usual circular instruments; speedometer and tachometer. The G-Force-Meter still remains at the centre of this display mode.

[[Lamborghini]] has also picked up some of parent company [[Audi]]'s design language. For the first time, [[Lamborghini]] incorporated [[daytime running lamps|daylight running lights]] with the [[headlamps]] of the Reventón. Seven Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) at each headlamps flank the Bi-Xenon main beam and they stay lit whenever the car is in movement. Due to the high temperatures in the rear lower part of the car, special heatproof LEDs are used for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

===Name===
The Reventón is named after a fighting bull according to [[Lamborghini]] tradition. The car's namesake, owned by the Don Rodriguez family, is best known for killing famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. <ref name="LamborghiniReventon.net">{{cite web | title=Lamborghini Reventon Information| publisher=LamborghiniReventon.net | url=http://www.LamborghiniReventon.net | accessdate=2007-09-23}}</ref> Reventón also means "that explodes" in Spanish.

'''Introduction'''

== History ==
The company was founded in 1983 originally as [[Saleen]] Autosport by Steve Saleen, a former Formula Atlantic race car driver. In 1984, Saleen Autosport became Saleen Performance, Incorporated. [http://www.saleen.com/ Saleen] built 3 cars that year as the first production run - a white hatchback, a copper glow hatchback, and a black hatchback. The company basically originated around reworking an existing [[Ford Mustang]] as higher performance models. Each year up thru the eighties, Saleen was able to produce a new record volume of cars. In late 1990, Saleen contracted with Car & Concepts in St. Louis to produce the Saleen Mustang. As the recession of the early 90's hit, so did it a take a toll on production. Cars & Concepts continue production through the 1991 model year when they closed their facility due to their own financial woes. Production was returned in-house to Saleen Performance, Incorporated in 1992. By then, the production of cars had been reduced to 12 for the 1992 model year. Steve Saleen teamed up with comedian Tim Allen in 1993 who helped to promote the Saleen Mustang and received new financial backing through Hidden Creek Industries. Beginning in 1995, Saleen-Allen Racing facilitated the start of preparations for the deveopment of a ground-up vehicle project by implementing a 7.0L V8 engine in their track-cars which eventually gave rise to the powerplant utilized in the [http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/exotic/0606_2007_saleen_s7_twin_turbo/ Saleen S7]. In 1997, [[Saleen]] competes at the 24 Hours of le Mans, ending a 30-year Mustang hiatus from the event. With a new financial backing and all-new body body style in '94, production numbers began growing again.

Saleen used his business degree from USC, coupled with experience in his father's manufacturing business, to build the company. His passion for racing also played a part. Steve began autocrossing, then rapidly moved into SCCA pro series ([[Formula Atlantic]], [[Trans-Am Championship]]) and then into Indy car racing.

By 1984, the first Saleen street car was ready for sale. It boasted special aerodynamics, an attractive and highly functional cockpit and a precise handling suspension package. The result was a car built as a limited edition model with individual serial numbers assuring authenticity. Later, demonstrating the car's performance, the company’s race team brought home a victory for Saleen, [[Ford]] and sponsor General Tire at the 24-hour race at [[Mosport Park ]]in Ontario, Canada.

Buy a car on the internet

2007-01-22T22:48:50Z

70.183.19.205:

The Internet has taken much of the guess work out of the car buying process. Shoppers are able to obtain a vast amount of research information on the Web that was previously hard to obtain. And once you decide on a vehicle, there are websites that can actually help you purchase it.

==Purchasing==
In addition to being a source for research, the Internet can also facilitate the purchase of a car. There are two general ways one can buy a new car online, '''directly''' through a website or by being '''referred''' to a dealer. For used cars there are more choices, dominated by online classifieds, or buying from an online seller using [http://www.ebaymotors.com eBayMotors.com]. To see actual prices that other car buyers have negotiated for their new vehicles, you can check [http://www.wikiworth.com wikiworth.com].

=== Referral ===
Through a referral, a customer is connected with a dealer that has the desired car in stock. This makes the shopping process a great deal easier and avoids the hassle of having to go from dealership to dealership. While you can't avoid a car salesman entirely through this process, a lot of the negotiation and finance details can be worked out online.

There are different types of websites you can use to initiate the process, including those run by the manufacturer([http://www.fordcredit.com/ Ford Credit], [http://www.volvocarfinance.com Volvo Car Finance], [http://www.landrovercredit.com Land Rover Capital Group], [http://www.mazdacredit.com/home.html Mazda American Credit]), the dealer or a third-party, such as [http://www.Autoshopper.com Autoshopper.com], [http://www.automotive.com Automotive.com], [http://www.carzoom.com CarZoom], [http://www.autousa.com AutoUSA], [http://www.edmunds.com Edmunds], [http://www.trade-in-value.com Trade-In-Value], [http://www.kbb.com Kelly Blue Book], [http://www.newcar.com NewCar.com], [http://www.autoextra.com AutoExtra.com] or [http://www.carsdirect.com CarsDirect]. While there can be some variance, generally, there are a few steps involved in the referral process:
*'''Fill out Form''' - You'll be asked to fill a out form with key details, such as contact information, type of vehicle you're interested in, how you plan on paying, etc.

*'''Contact from Dealer''' - Your information will be forwarded to dealers in your area. If a dealer is able to fulfill your order, you'll get an e-mail stating that your request was received, if the desired car is in stock, as well as the asking price.

*'''Finalize the Details''' - After your initial contact, the rest of the transaction kind of depends on you and the dealer. If you're comfortable with the car and the asking price, you can likely work out a lot of details before you even step inside the door of the dealership. On the other hand, if you're not sure about the car or the dealership, you can arrange a time to go take a test drive and meet with the salesperson. Financing can also vary. Most dealers will give you the option of working with one of their banks or the automaker's finance division.

=== Direct ===
With this method, you can buy a new car directly from a website that is not affiliated with an automaker or dealership. The price is set beforehand - no negotiation is required. The largest website that offers this service is [http://www.carsdirect.com CarsDirect]. You still have to pick up your vehicle at a dealership, but all of the details are worked out before delivery. Through the direct method, you have different finance options that include using the website's banking partners and the manufacturer's finance arm.

=== Online Purchase ===
If you are looking for that special car, it might not be in your local area. You can still place a bid or make an offer using eBay. You can usually arrange shipping and financing even for a remote purchase, and eBay offers purchase protection if something goes wrong. Be sure to do your homework however. Ask questions, and look up the Vehicle History Report to avoid surprises.

=== Female Friendly Certified Dealer Search ===

For women shoppers you can search on the internet for 'female friendly' dealerships in the US by going to http://www.askpatty.com and locating the dealer search tool to locate a dealership by brand and zip code. These dealerships also display a door or wondow seal denoting 'female certified' by AskPatty and complete a twelve month training program to become certified.
