Leaving Chrysler family by 300c_kid

After such a long, unnerving wait excitement wears off. I had ordered a Bright Silver C, but after 9 weeks DCX was still unable to even tell me the status of my order. DCX customer reps are horrible --with few exceptions. The dealer was of no help either. Frustrated, I ended up canceling my order.
 
I have been driving Chryslers since I learned to drive 22 years ago, but looks like my next vehicle will be an Infiniti G35.

Too bad... you only had about 8 weeks to go! They should have told you at the get-go how long it would take. It was definately worth the wait. You'll probably be able to buy one off the lot the next go around.

Anyone have experience with the timetable on a factory order for a 300 Touring?

I was at the dealer this week and told that he will not even be able to take an order for a C AWD until the end of Jan.
 
Anyone else have such an experience?
 
Thanks,

factory orders by bigmike5

A local dealer salesman told me that the factory has about 100K orders to fill which is why things are a little behind in getting them out to the buyers faster. Patience is recommended as they work hard to get them built.

I do market research for various manufacturers for a living. Most studies are on customer satisfaction with the dealer experience.
 
It is SHOCKING the sleaze Chrysler dealers are displaying with regards to the 300C. Having patience with plant under-capacity is one thing. Putting up with fast-talking slimy dealers is something no one should have to put up with. Especially from a brand that aspires to be viewed as upscale.

Just to add some perspective for those also waiting behind me in the Que....
I ordered a loaded 300C, Satin Jade Pearl,on 7/28
Found out today the car is built.
Estimated ship date is 11/15.
Should be getting it around the end of Nov.(I live in the upper mid west.)
The day I ordered it I was told up front it would be 90-120 days.

Much to my surprise got a call on Monday from the dealer and was told that he could now take a 300C AWD order. I placed the order Tuesday night and was quoted 8-12 weeks for delivery.
 
I told him that based on this forum (and others) I didn't expect to see it until March. He was insistent that 12 weeks was really the longest he anticipated it taking.
 
Also - Satin Jade and Lava Red are no longer available. I saw it on the Chrysler order screen myself. There are now only 5 colors that you can order (blue, black, vanilla, silver, magnesium).
 
I got the Midnight Blue.

Take away 2 colors and not even replace them. Just have your usual common colors, except for the Magnesium.
