Boy, this R/T news is a real bummer. 300 regular cabs! Looks like I'll never see
one of those. Got a question, hope maybe someone can answer. Will the
dealerships know if and what type (reg, club cab, color..."or is red the only
color :)" I wonder if the dealerships around here (Massachusetts) that quoted
me a zero over invoice for a dakota sport will do the same for an R/T! Yeah
right...wishfull thinking I guess. If I can find a dealership who is getting
one, I really don't wanna pay sticker..or higher for it, when I can get a loaded
sport for $16300 I could modify the sport a lot with 3 grand!
If anyone has anymore news about the R/T.....please let me know!
Thanx
Jay Boudreau
92 R/T.....Daytona that is :) which is still for sale if anyone is
interested
