#40 of 69 One more here.... by vocus Jul 09, 2003 (9:30 pm)
2003 PT Cruiser Limited Edition in Deep Cranberry. I ended up getting one because my 02 Jetta was totalled, and I wanted something with a good interest rate, lots of room, good reliablity, and a good price. I work for Chrysler Financial, so I knew good rates could be had (I got 1.9%/72 mos.). Ended up paying $22,050 for the car before taxes, and $25,500 or so after taxes, 100K warranty, and GAP insurance. Has 66 miles now, just got it tonight.   Look forward to many more happy miles behind the wheel.
#41 of 69 Umm, what? by ashutoshsm Jul 10, 2003 (7:39 am)
You paid 3450 taxes/license on a 22K car?   My 20-ish K car hadunder/around 1K in TTL! Did they mess with the numbers? Hopefully you can do something about this!
#42 of 69 Yeah, and most 100K warranties ... by mdaffron Jul 11, 2003 (4:34 am)
... only add maybe another $800 to $1500. So GAP insurance is something like $1,500? Is it worth it considering you'll probably never have to use it?
#43 of 69 Hmmm, add-on warranty ... by ashutoshsm Jul 11, 2003 (10:20 am)
... my dealer offered my a 7yr 100K warranty (basically adds balance to 4/50K from Mazda for 1900. When I laughed out loud, he dropped the price to 500 I still refused (maybe I should have gotten it? I can still get it, it just won't be at 0% any more!)

Apparently you have a little trouble reading or something. I said the warranty, TTL, and GAP came to $3450. That's not unbelievable actually.   TTL = 1100 GAP = 498 warranty = 1840   That comes to $3450 in my book. I actually asked them to lower the price, and she said she couldn't do it. After doing some investigating the next day, I called and told her to cancel the extended warranty and recontract me. So I ended up paying $23,886 on the road for the car. Not too bad, considering the MSRP is $23,325 for it and I got the 1.9%/72 in lieu of the $2500 rebate.

No need to get all defensive - so I missed that. It still was high, as you yourself realized and got the warranty cancelled. Just looking out for you and letting you know the deal I was offered on warranty.   I was about to congratulate on a great new car puchase, but given the last response I received, I'm afraid another helpful gesture will invite more brickbats.

First, I am just responding because I haven't checked this section of the board lately.   Sorry about being defensive to your response. I found that the extended warranty's book price was around $1200 and the extended warranties are usually pure markup anyway. I also got a chance to read Consumer Reports and it says the PT is about as reliable as the Civic, so I thought the car should be fine without the warranty for now. How many problems I have with the car in the basic warranty period will determine whether I feel the need to spend for an aftermarket warranty. I have been trouble-free for 5000 miles now, alot more than I can say about the VW this car replaced...
#47 of 69 Low miles PT for great price by daolette Nov 06, 2003 (4:37 pm)
Just got a 2001 LTD with 3,800 miles on Halloween. Negotiated price down to $12,900 from sticker price of $15,900. LOVE this car. It is very nimble. I work with a guy who paid $22,000 for one of the first to arrive in Memphis. He is excited that I got such a deal, but concerned about his cars depreciation. He loves his too. I saw mine on autotrader and was shocked that it was still on the lot when I got there. I am driving to Revel Enterprises in Paris TN Friday to get some goodies for the PT. I just printed there brand new 48 page catalog. Here is link www.revelenterprises.com
#48 of 69 depreciation by fndlyfmrflyr Nov 06, 2003 (11:30 pm)
There is a flood of PTs on dealer lots with very big discounts available. This is the opposite of what it was like about four years ago. Depreciation isn't so bad now, based on today's actual selling prices. Still not the best, but more in line with most other small cars.
#49 of 69 To Revel and Back by daolette Nov 07, 2003 (2:14 pm)
Just returned from a trip to Revel Enterprises in Paris TN. Very nice facility. Everyone friendly and helpful. It was great to see upclose all the goodies I wanted. Shelled out about $600.00 while there and made a wish list for additional items. Can't wait to install goodies on the 2001 LTD I got last week. Top item was Airraid Intake.
