#226 of 295 Re: Order status [jeffwoerth] by cjamison Sep 08, 2004 (9:55 pm)
Replying to: jeffwoerth (Aug 26, 2004 10:10 am) I order my 300C about June 19th and it has been in the D or D1 state for a long time. So, I called Chrysler and customer care said they did not know why it was being built and he would email someone and return my call. No Call. Called customer care again she said call the dealer. I called dealer and they indicated that Chrysler was doing something at their plant related to other cars. The dealer said they hope the car would come in October but they could not guarantee it. As a result I am looking at other cars again. If some one else has information on the delay or can confirm, Please reply.
#227 of 295 Long wait at my local dealership by pinkfloyd999 Sep 09, 2004 (8:59 pm)
Gotta say, I was lucky. There was 1 300C on the lot this last weekend (test drive vehicle) with 98 miles on it - I took that one. They were talking about a possible 3 month wait. Today I went back for a few things and they confirmed a SIX month wait. They were telling me that the 5.7l HEMI is not being produced quickly enough. They can't get the top-end Magnums either. Six months...this is a dealership in Daly City just south of San Francisco. Good luck chaps... Tony.
#228 of 295 Re: Does having a VIN mean anything? [abqsteve] by cjamison Sep 10, 2004 (9:19 pm)
Replying to: abqsteve (Aug 31, 2004 5:21 pm) I was able to get VON number from dealer and then called chrysler customer service. They can give the order status such as D or D1. Also, The dealer should be able to do this for you. You may want to check our this web site www.durangoclub.com/faq/NewBuyers.html for meaning of all the codes. Your car falls int the schedule group which is listed below:   C - tentative schedule D - firm schedule: serial number assigned, approx time in station - 5 days D1 - gateline: unit sequenced for production, est ship date assigned, Approx time in station - 12 days   My care as been stuck at the D1 for a while see post 226 and 227. I expecting a long delay and while check next week with dealer and call customer service. You may have to call customer service several times before you get any body that is willing to go the extra mile for you. If I receive any information, I will post the information.
#229 of 295 I guess I have to wait awhile huh by 300c_kid Sep 11, 2004 (7:41 am)
Placed an order for a Cool Vanilla 300C on 09/02. I got a DC Rewards price which is 1% BELOW invoice, but it was real tough finding a dealer in Southern California that would honor the discount. Finally found one 75 miles away. Many dealers had told me orders take 16 weeks. Now that I am lined up I can hardly wait.

Replying to: dennis (Sep 24, 2004 8:39 am) I just received my 300C on Sept 29th and placed the order on June 19th. See Post #226. It takes off like a rocket without even trying.
#232 of 295 SRT-8 by dennis Sep 30, 2004 (7:13 am)
Anybody pre order an SRT-8 yet? Any waiting lists? I called a couple dealers and they said you can't order one until spring. Chryslers website says they are at dealers in the Spring. Hate to see my Satin jade go, but....
#233 of 295 Factory Ordering by viper01 Oct 11, 2004 (9:34 am)
My dealer mumbled something about the Nav and sunroof being 'restricted'. I think that means the factory is not accepting orders OR maybe not building cars with those options. He quoted a 16 week wait to get a car. Doer anyone know about these 'restrictions'?   Thanks, Dick Replies to this message: 300c_kid (Oct 11, 2004 11:56 am)

Replying to: viper01 (Oct 11, 2004 9:34 am) I was told 16 weeks too (I am in the Los Angeles area). Mine has Nav and Sunroof; 5 weeks down, 11 to go...   Half the time salespeople will make up stuff, especially if they think they can persuade you to take one available on the lot or the pipeline (i.e., one w/o Nav and sunroof).
#235 of 295 300C Order by jayjagus Oct 14, 2004 (9:14 am)
Black, 300C, all options except; side impact air bags, sat. radio, halogen headlights, and adjustable foot controls. Ordered on June 22...still has not arrived. Was told that it was on hold originally for moonroof issues, then for lack of nav systems to install. Called Chrysler directly this week and was told that all holds had been removed and that it was in production...whatever that means. Replies to this message: 300c_kid (Oct 14, 2004 1:16 pm)
