The Dodge Charger is one of the few remaining throwbacks to the glory days of rear-wheel-drive V8 muscle cars. It has a well-appointed interior and comfortable ride, and though the V6 engines are lackluster, the V8-powered R/T and SRT8 models don't disappoint. Dodge is offering two cash-back deals: $1,000 cash to buyers who finance through them, with APRs that vary from 0%-6.9% based on the length of the loan; or $1,500 cash if you don't qualify for their financing or finance through a third party. Potential buyers should carefully calculate how much interest they'll be paying over time, if any, to determine which deal makes the most financial sense.
