It is true that the dealership won't know when the vehicle will be built w/o a VIN. But it should be committed that YOU will get the car YOU ordered once it arrives. If require it, a small deposit ($500-$1000) should show YOUR commitment to them.
 
I have been getting calls from dealers who received factory ordered 300Cs. While they wait for the intended owner to come pick up his/her vehicle, salespeople begin offering it to prospects with the caveat that someone had ordered it. If the original buyer doesn't reply/show up within 48-72 hours, the car becomes "available".

I was at a dealership and they tried to sell me a 300C for $8500 over the sticker (Asking $44,000 vs. MSRP 35,500) The guy kept trying to tell me how great of a car, that people are paying that much and it was and that it was like buying a BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus; of course it was obvious he wanted to chrage me as if it were a BMW, Mercedes or Lexus. He was adamant that he would sell the car by tomorrow.
 
After some wrangling I told him that I would pay $34,500 (MSRP less $1000 for financing thorugh Chrysler; a decision that made my stomach hurt. He came back with $38,900. The funny (or sad) thing about this was that this guy was telling me that this would be the price dealership employees would have to pay if they wanted that car and that it was up to me to work with him because he had come down "quite a bit" from thier initial offer. At that point I walked out.
 
2 days later I got a call from the same dealership saying that they would sell me the car for $36,500 AFTER the rebate.
 
I guess they don't get it.

None of thie surprises me, and I suppose it doesn't surprise you. Only wish I have is that dealers figure out those tactics do not work on me faster....

i made the mistake of leasing the 300 touring. this is what i could afford. i am a 21 yr old in nj w/ no credit. i have a 3 yr lease 12000 mile/yr. i put 2500 down w/ 1000 cash back. i am paying 344/month. i wish i didnt lease it but from doing research w/ other dealerships they said the price was impossible. i had to jump on it. i want to beef it up a lil bit but time will come.

6/22 Order by jayjagus

I ordered a 300C minus halogen lights, side impact, sat radio...here we are in almost November and still no car. Talk about frustrating! I know that there were holds in place, but this is getting to be almost too much...just venting and wondering if ANYONE else has waited this long.

You should be getting it any day now. Have you contacted your dealer or DC to find out what you status is? Mine took 4 months.

If you know you are going to keep the vehicle at the end of the lease, do whatever you want to it. Just make sure you have lined up a loan at the end of the lease to buy out the vehicle, AND that you will want to keep the vehicle in 3 yrs time.

I have contacted both of them...I was told originally that it was on hold due to the problems with the sunroof machine...then on hold because of the nav system shortage...it is just very frustrating because my wife's other car just flat our died and it has been a series of rentals, etc. since around August...that and everything is out of our hands...we just have to wait. What type did you get and how satisfied are you?

I have a Magnesium 300c, with sunroof, PG2, SG2, wood, pedals. I kinda regret not getting the HID lights. My dealer told me 3 or 4 WEEKS! I had to extend the lease on my Grand Cherokee 3 months. It does get very frustrating and the excitement wears off.
I think your in the home stretch. D1 to dealer was only like 7 to 10 days with my order. The dealer is really the best place to get info. My dealer got a status update every day. I was told by DCCS that they only get updates on Wednesday. And, strangely enough, you can get different answers the same day from 2 different customer service reps. Some will give you "reason codes" and others won't know anything about them.
It IS worth the wait. The car takes off like a rocket. I've had zero problems *knocking on wood* and no tickets so far. The SG2 sound sytem is awesome.
Good luck!
