Other than upgraded wheels, and a sunroof, this looks like a base R/T.

Given the low mileage, I'd say you did OK here.   :2thumbs:  I love the color.   :grinyes:

Price was high for a base 2009 R/T with cloth seats.  As long as you are happy with the car and price paid that's all that counts. 

Once you drive it you'll love it.  I have only driven my 73 once in the last month after picking up my 2011.

It looks like a great car, price seems in line.  Snazzy llooking, I like those rims!   Aside from the sunroof and upgraded wheels, what other extras are on this car?  Looks like an upgraded shifter, yes?  :clueless:

Not to be a downer, but looking at the close up, are those cloth seats or leather?  :dunno:

You guys are right, it does look like gray cloth, even though it says black leather upholstory.
 It's 160 miles from here & I was gonna pick it up tomorrow.
Now...... I dont know. If I get there and it's not black leather, I'm gonna be pizzed-
320 miles, gas & tolls, a wasted day, and coming back home in my sebring convert- yeech,lol

Will the seats being leather make or break the deal?  I don't know how Ebay works with cars, but are you thinking of pulling out of the deal?  Are you given some "inspection" time or is the car basically yours?

If it does come down to the interior, might just give them a call or something instead of driving all the way out there.

How much would a leather interior add to the price?  :clueless:

With the glossy red, I wanted a black leather interior.
Blue72, don't know the legalities of it but if the car is not
as advertised, I don't think I'm responsible.

What I'm hoping, is it's just bad pix of the interior,
I've seen pix of black interiors that look gray,
what with sunlight & sometimes a flash.
Who knows, I emailed him & I guess i'll find out
in the am.

 I just purchased my 2011, RT Classic, Toxic orange, automatic, heated leather, navigation, sound group II, super track pak with no moonroof for $29,990 last month.  It had 998 miles on and was used for 30 days.  MSRP sticker was 37,935.  It was priced lower than most all of the 2010's I saw with way more miles so i jumped on it.  Most used Challengers are overpriced.  I found mine on cars.com

If it's not out of your budget did you look at getting a leftover 2011.  Dodge is offering $2K cash back and you should also be able to get a few grand off sticker.  www.pnc.com is offering 60 month loans at 2.5%.

I seem to remember eBay's buyer protection on vehicle purchases was pretty favorable to the buyer.  Misrepresentation of the vehicle was definitely on the list that you are protected from.

If it's advertised as leather and it's cloth that should be an easy out.  Especially from a dealer.

I'm sure you are in the thick of discussions with the dealer at this time, but another option they have is to purchase & install the leather interior as I believe is done all the time.
