- Dodge's Last Call has become a huge scandal dealers can't keep under wraps
Dodge's CEO Tim Kuniskis may have intended for "Last Call" to be a celebration for the final Hemi powered L cars but Dodge dealers have other plans. Dealers have taken multiple programs Dodge has created over the last couple of years and corrupted them for their benefit. From the HP Locator to Power Brokers to 7th final Editions, Dodge dealers have shown their true colors and it's time for Dodge to act.

Could we have one corporation, one company, one politician, one anything that wont completely rip us off?? Smh. This whole world is so corrupt with zero compassion for the common person. So tired of it
Amen!
I swear I’ve been feeling the same way! I feel like I’m getting ripped off with every purchase I make no matter what it is.
Genesis G70 and Kia Stinger is what you're looking for
You had one person that wasn't a politician help the people out, but let the media and cabal ruin all that. As far as this deal goes, if stupid people would stop spending high dollar for these things that are set at lowér MSRP we wouldn't have this issue..these pickups are not worth $100k these challengers or chargers are not worth 60k this needs to stop. Raised min wage to $15-20 and look what happened. Nobody can buy a house now.
That doesn't work under a capitalist system
I’m a car guy. I feel for you Mopar guys. I would never subject myself to the total dodge bullshit.
Oh the problem is electric cars and Biden and his administration. They all suck ass
Dodge Dealers and Tim Kuniskis turned Last Call into a Huge Cluster F! Customers Will Remember
The Suckerhood of muscle😂
Whoa!! How do you figure Tim dropped the ball.
Good intentions? It was a money grab from the start. Charging $70K for a Scatpack with fender flares and stickers 😂😂 these cars used to start under $40K.
The current state of the auto industry is sickening.
It was so frustrating. I called 20+ dealerships trying to get an allocation. The best deal I found was 75k over and most were 100k over or in a bidding war for over. I would have gladly paid msrp or even a little over but NO way I’m paying 50+k over for a dodge that’s not a viper
Yup. Not a penny over MSRP. I ordered mine in 22 and got it for 2k under MSRP.
This whole thing just screwed over Mopar guys for a whole year.
Yep i did the same thing.@michaelthebarbarian3380
@@michaelthebarbarian3380 Agreed.
@@michaelthebarbarian3380so you got it for 2k under? This is difficult to believe. Good for you
Funny their last call 2023 cars are being sold 5-15% under msrp now 😂😂
Tallahassee Florida, CDJR took my order on a 23 jailbreak 807 charger, spec’d out beautifully. From start to finish it was 4 weeks and 1 day it took to take delivery. They had PROMISED 10K over and that was it. Guess what, the day of delivery, they said I needed to fork up 30K on the spot and find a co-signer with the same credit (or better)which was 752 at the time. Needless to say I left with my money and didn’t buy into the balogna that is these markups.
That's right. Never, ever forget these dealers that screwed us. NEVER!
As a Challenger owner and a Dodge/Plymouth lover for 60+years it's a sad time indeed. Can't believe how disappointment I feel and embarrassed how we should be over all this. Knuckle head dealers are some of the worst. Two thumbs up Video! Thanks for keeping up the pressure and the amazing content.
Demon 170 Yeah, you're making a deal with the devil alright.
@@thebionicbassplayer just get a normal hellcat tune it and get 1000hp easy
Huntington Beach Dodge got called out by TK today, they rip off a cop who signed a contract and sent a certified check for a red eye that they sold to someone else. These dealers need to have the DA’s start investigating them for the shady practices.
Not taking the dealers side here, but they are not breaking the law charging someone 50,75,100k over invoice if a customer is stupid enough to pay it
@@danlaur7973exactly. We are the consumers. WE control the market. Not corporations.
Sit rep that same Scat Pack is now over 70 grand.
I never thought I would spend over 70K for a Dodge especially knowing the the main selling point was It's mostly unusable High HP engine😢
Truly disgusting practice that these Stealerships do !!!
I blame Dodge for allowing this and not doing anything about it. They can not say they did not know what was and is going on. They thought everyone would just shut up and take it. F Dodge for not doing anything about this. Their marketing ploy with the soldier is not enough. Period
Last Call, HP locator, Stage Kit, Chief Donut Maker all stunk like hell from second 1. As much as I wanted to step up from my Scat Pack to a supercharged car I turned my back on the entire era. I didn't get a supercharged car but I still have my Scat Pack, my bank account, my sanity, and dont have the frustration that others unfortunately have. If I could see this coming Dodge sure as hell could have, should have, and should have fixed the shit show before it started. Thanks for all you do Butter.
Great point.
If you get an itch just remember you can always get a complete turn key crate package from dodge, I think they even sell the trans too
If you wanna make even more you can go a long block with a 1500 hp, 426L, 3.8Lwhipple from MMX for the price that you'd drop on a hellphant 170 crate.
Could probably get it all done with all parts, and supporting mods for under $60k. That's basing it off not doing anything the cheap way!
Rather than purchase a Hellcat I'm building a 67 Barracuda. Will have a 392 and A8. @@leopapio683
Good video. Just imagine how good the car culture would’ve been if you could just order a car off your phone and pick it up, no haggle at a showroom
Tesla?
They do that with Teslas but they get stolen easier because of this lol.
@@TheRedRaven_ Goodluck stealing a tesla, you would need not only the key card, but also the pin, to even turn the car one. Then when u do, the car can be tracked to its exact location via the app
@@voxtek Bro there was just a news article that came out, guy used the app, bought the car online with a fraudulent credit card, went to the dealer with a fake ID that matched the card credentials, dealership gave him the key fob and he was off with a new Tesla. He tried doing it again but he went back to the same dealer and they caught him once they realized the card on the first purchase was fraudulent.
@@TheRedRaven_ Well thats different from stealing someones personal tesla, thats why i said without that pin he isnt taking it anywhere.
This video was so good I watched it twice!!! 👍👍👍👍 The BS needs to stop. We’re sick and tired of it!
We run to the dealership, pay way over for a dodge just to sit in the garage or drive in circles, just to say you have a Hellcat that doesn't mean shit when it's said and done! 😂😂😂
And…. Over 50% of the dealers STILL think they can get MSRP or better prices on cars.
The challenge is findiing dealers charging a fair price for the Challenger and Charger. I think the crooked dealers are taking the car names literally.
I'm sick of this it's time to boycott all dodge dealers it's pay back time
We need to get rid of all the "Dilla's" an buy straight from factory
Totally agree.
Other brands let you that.
Hey Butter thanks to TK and you for making my pic of the business card and window sticker go viral and do enjoy all your videos . Keep up the good work for The Brotherhood of Muscle 😎👍🇺🇸
The local Autonation Chrysler/Dodge wanted to charge me $5k ADM after I selected THEM to process my 300C order. I had the order moved to an honest salesman (Bob Frederick). Even with shipping the car Cross country it was still cheaper.
Autonation guys are pure greed...
New to your channel and gotta tell you do a great job explaining and editing. Top notch video!
Thank you for calling the crooks out💪🏿I’m a retired Veteran and dealerships take advantage of us all the time
AWESOME video and you're totally right. After a LOYAL dodge customer for 45 years I went to buy a Challenger and almost GOUGED with huge markup. I walked away and vowed not to EVER NEVER buy a Dodge vehicle again.Goodbye and you lost a customer for life as well as my entire family members. GREED will be your downfall, SHAME on you. FORD is ready for my bussiness.
Ford is just as bad. F them too!
Did I read that right on the monroney ? $9995 for a sunroof 😅😅😅 stellantis has some really stupid customers
Dodge dealerships also offered the stage kits mark up with these cars. A couple of them talk about 10 k for stage 2 red eyes kits. 7 k in labor cost to install a thermostat, pulley, intake and a flash tune. Some dealerships claimed it would be 890 on pump gas for the hellcat and not the Redeye.
Awesome video brother and spot on. Quality is fit for tv! 😉
It wasn’t just dodge raising prices. Only now have the prices came down and interest rates are chilling out. Even Toyota and Honda were marking up basic economy cars by 10-20%. Remember when you could buy a new car and sell it for a profit? Those days are long gone
Thank you brother for all your vital information ✌🏾❤️
I hope and pray that Attorney Generals in every state,district and Provence launch investigations. I see a class action lawsuit coming. Who knows, after Dieselgate and now Demongate, Stelantis may need a bailout...fat chance.
Nah, this problem is best solved by the consumer. Stop buying from them, stop giving them a free pass for the shit they pull. Let their cars sit on their lots.
Well said and well put. They don't call them Stealerships for nothing. They need to do away with the dealership system. Dealers have been doing this type of thing forever, maybe less extreme in the past but same thing. I bought my Challenger new in 09. They were trying to get me to pay 7 grand markup back then because these cars had just come out, they were super rare and people were excited about them. I ended up staying until after the dealership closed haggling before they finally took the mark up off and I agreed to buy it.
Wow awesome job butta..I guarantee you this 170 debauchery has set a huge fire at stellantis corporate and dodge as a whole. They let this shit happen period
I think you should look at metro detroit FCA dealers in Michigan. The prices and the demands are insane. 50-75k cash for the allocations.
Unfortunately, this is all because of greed! These dealers don't care about their customers, just how much money they can screw their customer's out of.
If you think the usa is bad for dealer mark ups. Look at the canadian market especially in Alberta.
Special Edition vehicles should be allocated by a dealers CSA scores by ACTUAL Customers who have purchased a car & their entire experience before,during & after purchasing as part of a scoring system. If Dodge ever wants to get customer loyalty back, it's gonna cost them a pretty penny by giving HUGE discounts & a public apology for all the shenanigans past customers have experienced @ these dealers! I just purchased a 2023 1500, why? Because the salesman was solid & the dealership gave me the best deal of a lifetime & my entire buying experience was top notch! THAT'S what's gonna get customers back into their showrooms......my opinion. Keep up the great work my friend, we appreciate you!💪🏾
You are 100% right super accurate and thank you for bringing this to light. Tim is bad for Dodge, and the Dodge dealerships have blown it with market adjustments
@tks garage has been exceptionally great with dealing these scumbags ripping off ANY consumers. Once he’s started his own investigation on whatever dealership involved in stealing from its customers it’s already too late for that dealership . It shouldn’t take someone calling them out to start “ doing the right thing “ they should have been doing this from the start.
Who could ever have seen this coming? Yeah right as soon as this was announced dealerships started salivating.
But back in 2014 when hellcats where about to hit the market they went for msrp. I wonder what changed
Totally agree with you Butter!
Honestly, I’m just very thankful that all I wanted was a scat pack with a 6 speed. Got it and saved the headache of dealing with this last call nonsense. It’s sad that this company turned its back on the V8 while Camaro and Mustang still going.
Camaro is done, last 2024 were manufactured and assembly line is shut down. All that is left is what is in the pipeline. Get them while you still can.
Good shit bro! 🍻
Love your channel and videos man. But I have moved onto non-mopar cars from now on. And that's from being with Dodge for more than 29 years.
Same here.
Great channel keep up the good content.
One of your best vids yet!
I think a smart move for Dodge will be to reintroduce V8's to the new line of Challengers and Chargers as people are making fun of the EVs and it will ruin them. They can legitly say "no more HEMIs" because these V8's will not be HEMIs but something more evolved called differently. If they don't do it they will surely go bankrupt.
Unthinking my next purchase, Tim K. Can you hear us now
Get'em Butter! Make them live up to their word.
Nice PSA on how not to get screwed by a dodge dealer ! Blows my mind on the short term thinking these dealers have. As customers have long memories. Last Call Dodge.
I think your channel is way better than all the other ones you mentioned.
Hey butter this is not just in the US, Canadian dealers are doing the same thing! One wants $300+ CAD for a demon..
YESSSSRRR Truth .😊..I live in Cambridge Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 😎..See over prices in a few Dealerships..pathetic..CHEERS FROM THE CANADIAN PIT BULL AND CANADA 🇨🇦 👍
I truly be that no dealership no what brand should sell above MSRP.
😂😂😂😂 Man, We know you talking about your 170 demon. The dealership trying to get cha.😂😂😂
I'm so GLAD I got my Track ready R/T back in '21. This is such a nightmare and scummy load of bullshit.
yep... tried to buy one the first hour and was told they were already gone for 100k over sticker. Thank you Dodge dealers in Indianpolis
Total truth Brother!! This is not “brotherhood” this is ripoffhood!
Thanks for exposing these crooks Butter. Chevy dlrs did it with C8’s & now Z06’s. Porsche dlrs are marking up to $150,000.00 for a GT3Rs. Toyota dlrs marking up Corolla GRs. it’s out of hand. I think in these cases the manufacturers should start sales with existing customers not flippers then have a lottery.
$177,000 Dodge Daytona King Charger here
I appreciate this eye opener. I hate crooked anything.
The dealers pulled this crap because they know they are going out of business!
They’re already feeling the backfire. Most of these dealerships can’t move their 2023 inventory. Brand new ‘23’s even some brand new 22 hellcats just sitting on the lot.
Hey man, could you organize a list for all these BS dealerships so some buyers can use it as a referral where to NOT go?
they did the same BS with the Durango a couple years back. Theres a class action lawsuit, it will go nowhere.
I saw the 170 go for $250k 💀💀💀 like bro, at that price point you’re better off buying a Porsche or Maserati
100% correct thank you.
Mr.Butter Da Insider, I truly enjoy your true honesty !!!
Not surprising my last dealership I worked at sold a car that a customer already pay and custom order corvette.
The Dodge Brothers are pissed.
I became a MOPAR guy over 40 years ago, and own not only a 50th Anniversary Challenger but a 1976 Dodge custom van, a 2004 HEMI RAM Rumblebee, 3 PT Cruisers and my wife has 2 Dakotas. We ARE a MOPAR family and I am so disappointed over this mess! I won't give up on Dodge . . . yet. But it's hard to defend these low life money hungry dealers and Dodge.
I'm glad you called out Hendricks. They are the sleaziest dealership that I know of. The try to screw customers on EVERY vehicle they sell. People need to stop supporting dealerships like this or it won't stop.
This has been going on at least since the pandemic. Ordered a 2022 392 Rubicon Jeep from New Smyrna Beach Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Florida. Wish I had known about this channel. Had to pay an extra 20K over MSRP because I really wanted this Jeep built. They were kind enough to laminate my window sticker with the 20K "bump" on it as well. No shame. Keep up the good work!
I think all stealerships need to be investigated who ever sold a demon 170....then they will see which ones scammed dodge by ripping off the people with the scam of buying another vehicle with a markup and saying they bought at msrp.....great video as always.
Only bright spot is...now that Stellantis has killed the V8..we won't need CDJR Dealers anymore (they won't have anything I want).
I'm sure getting a 2024 Durango 392 or HC Last Call will be just as horrible of an experience!
Mustang Dark Horse here I come!
There are 3 dealers near me all selling a 170 for $100k over.
Dodge should find the most screwed over people, do a lottery and GIVE THEM one of the 19 Last Call cars, at cost, not MSRP, WHOLESALE PRICE.
Agreed
Dodge Stealerships
It's already happening
Dodge/Stellantis falling
Facts bro stay woke great content you figured it out and the top people new that stay blessed and great health 🙏🏻👊🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥
If these crooks come sniffing around for business I would tell them I wouldn't even consider purchasing a car from them unless I can pay 50k UNDER invoice. Bunch of crooks.
Great video!
What a complete SHIT SHOW this whole thing has turned into!
It shows the greed some people have! Just sickening!
Not just one here, or one there, but multiple incidents. WTF?????
Didn’t dodge say the original hellcats would only be 700 and something of them? Then continued making them for ten more years?
AS THE WORLDS ECONOMY COLLAPSES ............
NONE OF THESE VEHICLES WILL BE WORTH ANYTHING..........
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THESE CARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DOWNWARD SPIRA................
Excellent video.
Good show man
Hello Butter Da Insider. These CDJR dealerships are stupid. You guys are the bomb. You should get to know @TK'S Garage. You keep doing what you're doing.
Very well spoken video.
Unlike the Classic 2nd Gen Chargers and 1st Gen Challengers, These "Last Call Hemi's" will NEVER be worth what was people paid for them, Now, Or in 30 years.
Dodge, 40 jailbreak demon170s is a stab in the back to those that believed that the 170 was as exclusive as a 2023 Challenger would ever be. Last call? Another untruth!
Remember this when the economy crashes and these guys are dying to sell a car below msrp.
Got 3 Demon 170s in Washington state. 2 over 322k and 1 over 280k. Take a look folks.
MY LOCAL DEALER HAS A 300K MARKUP!!!! INSANE!!
Dodge Dealerships, Ford Dealerships, GM Dealerships should all be prosecuted under the RICO ACT
When the mark up game started I checked out.
Where can you find a charger not marked up. Good video!!
It was Dodge's own actions in hyperinflating the demand with their misleading marketing and falsely perceived Challenger and Durango model exclusivity, which led to this entire debacle and provided an environment that incentivized dealer corruption.
If people weren't out here paying these prices, dealers wouldn't charge these prices. That simple.
Yeah a dealer here in Seattle has a demon 170 at a plus 200,000 markup
Another Great Video Butter!
Tim Kuniskis Speak With A Fork Tongue
I had put a deposit on the last charger year before it was announced. I had purchased 2 redeye’s, 1 TRX, 1 Rubicon and a Ram from the same dealer. The day after it was released I called my person and they said sure it was mine if I was willing to pay $50k over sticker. I passed and will never buy another dodge product again.
I tried to purchase a Last Call Challenger Scatpack and couldn’t get approved. I went to a Chevy Dealership and got approved to purchase a 2024 Camaro 2SS with zero markup. What is sad is that I’ve been a MOPAR Fan since my dad bought a Dart Swinger new in 1974. I own and have owned 27 Dodge vehicles. And currently own a 2009 Ram 2500, 2021 Challenger, and a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
And in 20 yrs, will be worth more than some POS, half dead Dodge.
@@jilbertbThere’s a reason why Challengers outsold Camaros every single year of production. It’s a timeless retro muscle car. Not a fast cavalier with no windows and a different ugly front end every other year. Lol
I wanted a scat 1320 but have issues with being 20grand upside down before i even leave the lot!
