Sorry, poor wording on my part. I should have said, "The dealer was not charging a 30k ADM fee for the Jailbreak."
Every dealer is different. Koons seems to want 30k over MSRP. Your dealer doesnt. You just made 30k by not going to Koons lol. Good day at the office I guess.

Oh NO! Not that guy!

Koons will come off this ridiculous 30g ADM when they realize the low interest in the whole jailbreak concept...the whole program is ill conceived...

I agree! I was planning, if I purchased the Jailbreak, traveling to Virginia, as my son is stationed there. I was hopping to save a chunk of money on a new Hellcat and have a nice visit. On to plan B, scratch Koons off the to do list...

I'm not begruding them for trying to make more money, like I said they are opportunistic, what I'm saying is in this case it really doesn't make sense to limit production (if that's what stellantis is doing) and then B charging markup for a car that's no different than any other redeye except its trim name.

I'm pointing out that it's not just a dealer issue, the fault lies on the manufacturer just as much as the dealer.

If the Jailbreak was a special edition with 850 hp or 900 hp, or whatever else to make it special then by all means ask for adm, but it's no different than last years Redeye 🤣.

Almost Every dealer in this market is greedy, they all refuse manufacturer set plans like employee pricing, a/x/z plan, they are all bumping the mf/apr wherever they can, charging adm's on mass produced vehicles, unwanted packages are being forced to be bought or you don't buy the car, etc etc.

Whatever you thought dealers were in the past is 100x worse today because there is a shortage of supply and a skyrocket in demand. I have no problems with dealers offering no discounts, but to then turn around and bonk as many customers on the head as possible is a completely different thing.

Like I said any shenanigans that are/were done in the past are being compounded today, I'm seeing dealers force "prep" packages with bs like nitro fill,rust protection etc etc for $2500,$3500,$4500, etc etc.

I never have sympathy for dealers because it's a business, but on top of that it's a business with some of the sneakiest people you may ever meet.

When the market corrects in 12-24 months you will see how different dealers act.
You also have to consider in 24 months, these cars will no longer be available new.

I'm reading on the TRX forum that there will be a holy grail car coming within this 2 year period. I hope it's something that finally bust the Demon ego ballon.
Holy Grail also means you'll have to be the Pope to get one.

Of all the things done with the Challenger/Charger the jailbreak had the a ton of promise but has turned out to be the biggest FK U to people who want a new Redeye. When Tim announced it I "ass-u-me-d" theyd offer nearly the entire color palate or at least a few of the colors we havent seen in a while. PC, B5, Limelight, Green Go, phantom black, ivory white, redline.

When they didnt, it was disappointing but figured hey $1000 to eliminate all the normal color and whell combo roadblocks wasnt horrible. But when they eliminated nearly all the option combos from all the other cars, that was a big WTF!?!? Then the "limit to 3000 a year" bullshit. I can only imagine this isnt what Dodge wants but maybe Stellantis not wanting to pay the EPA FINES/carbon credits for each HC RE that someone orders, on top of that they make the other options as unattractive as possible and they save even more $$$. Dodge may want to give the people what they want but Im sure Stellatis doesnt give a FK. Then again if it is a parts inventory cleanout, they prob dont want to have to put in more orders for smaller batches of odd color interior/exterior bits so they just limit it.
Either that or supply chain issues and getting some of the special interior bits would hold up orders and builds so if you simplify it to the stuff thats easy to get, you are able to push out more cars. Dunno

Most dealers will be the POS they normally are so no getting around that.
Shitty way to run a railroad in the twilight years of the line for sure.

First I've heard of a 3K unit/year limit.

I'm not liking the color choices. We wanted a brighter color. Wife isn't on board with any of the colors since she would be driving it. We were both hoping for a yellow.
Stinger Yellow may be a mid MY option, watch the Jailbreak release video on YT, a yellow car is shown. Easter Egg?

5% below on jailbreaks? I saw the thread on regular Redeyes. Just did a search for jailbreak on here and nothing comes up as far as ordering except for this thread.
Nope, Koons 30K ADM on Jailbreaks.

Oh WOW! Koons should be embarrassed to ask 30K over MSRP for any car! I bet a few that were considering getting a JB car from Koons will go somewhere else if they read this……
I was there today, they did not look embarrassed at all, just cocky.

I got a 5, 10, and 30 ADM. I contacted 5 dealerships yesterday. My local had me thinking the deal would be done but once everything once spec'd out in store he came back with the 10 ADM and wouldn't budge as I orrfered 5 which I didn't really want to do. The other two said they would find out and call me right back and I've not heard back. The 5 ADM got my VIN for the Durango HC for the trade and then stopped responding. I suspect they changed their mind about the 5. But Mush said he would help find a dealership and I'm gonna call a few more today. Surely they all cant be bad.
My Dealer in SW Ohio is offering me MSRP but order was placed a month ago and not D1 yet. Allocations seem to be the hold up right now.

Not buying it. My money says that’s a Bull$hit sales tactic. Nowhere has it been released that the JB is a limited production model. An email from a salesperson is different than truth in a lot of cases. This wouldve been all over the press material as a selling point.
I agree with it being a sales tactic. I told the guy at Koons today that Dodge would be killing their Direct Connection sales potential if they were to limit production of the cars that are targeted for such modifications.

Ordered a Jailbreak Challenger yesterday for MSRP. Hum... maybe I will make somebody a great deal and flip it for $20k over.
Please dear Lord don't any of you tell my wife $20k is there for the taking!
Curious, what is your current order status? I am west of you in Greene County.

I still don't get what Koons was saying here. Are they or are they not charging THIRTY THOUSAND OVER STICKER for the 2022 Jailbreak option?

If so, they burned ALL previous goodwill and should GTFO with that nonsense.
They are, was standing inside their building today.
