#45 of 107 Re: Employee pricing again! [nortsr1]follow-up by nortsr1 Jun 30, 2006 (10:26 am)
Replying to: nortsr1 (Jun 23, 2006 12:17 pm) Looks like Saturday, July 1st is the announcement of the Employee pricing program and the 30 day return policy. The 30 day return policy has some drawbacks...a 5% return loss, a mileage penalty,... and... possible auction price if car doesnt sell???
#46 of 107 Forget Employee Pricing for the PT by nortsr1 Jul 02, 2006 (4:54 am)
The new "Employee Pricing" for the PT is a big "JOKE"..... Before Employee pricing there was a $1500.00 rebate and a $500.00 mfg.to dealer incentive and I received two quotes for a price of $2000.00 UNDER INVOICE...now....with Employee pricing and the Employee price and the new "$500.00 rebate.....you end up paying almost 1000.00 MORE than before..Figure that one out.    I was all set to purchase a 2006 PT Limited and when I read several days ago about Chrysler coming out with "Employee Pricing" I figured that it would pay me to wait....Wrong decision....so now I will just wait until the Employee pricing is discontinued on July 31st and HOPE that Chrysler goes back to the PREVIOUS rebate incentive plan.  When I spoke to the salesperson at the dealership yesterday....he actually agreed with me, that, in fact,it now does cost more to purchase a PT... because...when Emp[loyee pricing is in effect, they have to sell at THAT set price from the mfg. and cannot change that price.   Well, NORTSR, you will just have to wait it out...Better luck next time.

Has anyone heard what changes are coming on the 2007 Cruiser? They should be at the dealers soon. Replies to this message: nortsr1 (Jul 03, 2006 7:16 am)

Replying to: charlesf4 (Jul 03, 2006 6:53 am) Ihave read at another forum that a special stainproof, better cloth will be standard on the 2007 Limited and optional for the Touring model. Also, three new colors (but I forget what colors) and finally a remote added for the trunk area. That's all I know for now. Other than that, it is supposed to be no different than the 2006

That's miles per person. We have all acknowledged the PT Cruiser's mileage isn't what we want it to be (with an EPA highway rating of only 26, most of us are lucky to get 23/24) - but after taking it to Yosemite with one other adult and 2 small kids and a lot of gear, and after using it almost exclusively as the weekend "family" car, I have realized that it DOES get good MPP - miles per person.   There is no way I could shuttle my little family around in a Ford Focus, which is lighter, with a smaller engine, and gets better gas mileage (especially good for 2007). Not even in a Focus Wagon -- the seating position is lower, with resulting less rear seat legroom than the PT.   At least the PT gets better gas mileage than a typical minivan or small SUV (although I will admit that the Honda CR-V we had before did get 3 mpg better gas mileage, but we all got tired of its harsh ride).   So while the PT isn't the ideal single commuter vehicle, it is GREAT for family use. (I will, however, reconsider this if the kids start getting a LOT bigger.) In fact, I think it has one of the better MPP around!

Replying to: nortsr1 (May 04, 2006 11:51 am) Did you ever get the EC or FFP discount number? If so, where can I get one? I am looking to lease a new Chrysler. Thank you, Kelly Replies to this message: nortsr1 (Oct 11, 2006 10:35 am)

Replying to: lookingforh3 (Oct 11, 2006 5:39 am) Kelly,   No, no one volunteered their assistance. I did, however, purchase a new 2006 PT Cruiser, Limited at invoice, less the $2000.00 rebate and NO added dealer costs, plus it already had been pin-striped, etc. and those costs were also deleted. Just remember, when leasing, negotiate your best "bottom line price and don't forget those BIG rebates that Chrysler is now offering. The 2006 models are "plentiful" and the dealers want to "UNLOAD" them!      If you are not good at negotiating and do not know th "ins and outs" of a good lease deal....MAKE SURE you take someone with you that knows leasing. At least go to the lease forum and read the posts and "how to negotiate a lease"!!!!
#53 of 107 PT Cruiser Price by mr_anton89 Dec 19, 2006 (3:08 pm)
Hi, I am looking into a 2006 PT Cruiser Convertible with an MSRP of $21,945. Options include the 28E Package and Automatic Transmission. Standard Black paint. This is in snowy NE Ohio and an 06, so I am sure that they would love to get rid of this unit. According to Edmunds' TMV Pricing Report the... TMV -------------------> $18,230 Chrysler Mailed Rebate-> -$1,000 Chrysler Dealer Rebate-> $3,500 Total------------------> $13,730 That total amount can't be right..can it? Somebody please give me some insight asap Thanks, mranton89
#54 of 107 PT Cruiser....used? by mazda6iguy Dec 22, 2006 (9:54 pm)
My friend is thinking seriously of buying a used (off lease ex rental) 2006 PT Cruiser w/ 14000 miles on it from a local Chrysler dealer. They are asking $12,900 (a Touring model). What, if anything should we look out for when it comes to ex-rental cars? The car looks pristine. It is equipped with Sirius sattelite radio. What would be a good offer on a car like this? Any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm a little afraid of used cars, but that's just me.
