Haven't seen anyone asking $11k above MSRP, but $5k above MSRP is pretty common here in So Cal. Same dealers seem willing to settle for $3k above.

Why is Chrysler pushing a car that they can't deliver? I have one on order for over 3 months and I still don't know if I will ever take delivery.

A $350 a month payment is possible, but it depends on how much you put down.

Just Ordered a 300C!

Placed an order last night for a silver 300c. I was able to use an Affiliates Award certificate to get a 1% under invoice deal. Took me 3 dealers to find one who would honor the DC certificate. Now for the 16 week wait. Anyone have an accurate wait time? Will it really be 4 months?!

I also ordered thru the Chrysler Affiliates Program. In addition I got $1000 off for financing thru Chrysler. My local dealer participated so I didn't have to shop. My Magnesium 300c took 17 weeks, but there was a hold on orders with a sunroof for several weeks in May & June.

I have one on order for about 14 weeks and no word. I was told to contact the Chrysler Rep and I did. He told me to stay in touch with my sales Rep, Just another run around. This is the worst car buying experience I have ever had. The dealer offered me my deposit back, I said I don't want my money back I just want the car. I have no way of telling that they might sell my car to someone else for more money. I have bought over 20 new cars in my life time. And this is my worst experience.

You should be able to speak with your salesman's manager to get more commitment from the dealership.

I have spoken to the Sales manager and also to the Owner of the dealership and I was told that there is an allotment of 300C to each dealership. They said that until there was a vin number assigned to the car I ordered they have know way of knowing when the car will be built. I think that Chrysler dropped the ball on this one. I thought that Daimler had more class than this.

Thanks for the update on your order. I was told 16 weeks and I'm only one week into it so I can't bitch yet. Did you order a car with sunroof or nav? I was told by one dealer that those two options are a problem and cause the longest delays. DC finally has a hot car and they probably didn't anticipate the demand. I waited 32 months for a Viper back in 1992 - that was painful!

I was at my Chrysler dealer taking delivery on my 300c (it took 4 months). They also sell Mercedes vehicles. As I was waiting for the finance guy, I overheard a Mercedes salesman telling a buyer about a ONE YEAR wait. I don't know what model they were talking about, but that seems a bit lengthy.
