#29 of 113 Re: Factory Order Time [mantrasia] by bwallace Jul 05, 2006 (4:56 am)
Replying to: mantrasia (Jul 04, 2006 11:32 am) Go to www.davesmithmotors.com. They are a Chrysler/Dodge/GM dealer. They operate with extremely high volumes of sales and take a 3% rebate from the factory on every unit. Everything sells at invoice. They are located in Kellogg, Idaho. They employee nearly 400 people. Approximately 95 sales staff mostly telesales. Most folks fly into Spokane, WA and Dave Smith Motors picks them up at the airport or hotels and takes them to get their vehicle. They have an accessory and after market department second to none.   When I bought my Dodge 3500 last June they had 20 acres of Dodge Rams arranged by size and color. I picked one they took it to the accessory installed all the accessories I had selected provided us lunch and I was on my way home in 2 1/2 hours.   That is why I have been buying trucks and cars here since 1983.   This is a big operation, they sell upwards of 10,000 cars/trucks per year.

#30 of 113 Five Star Dealer? by grayseabring Jul 10, 2006 (4:13 am)
Although I am very pleased with my Caliber I am upset with the way my deal closed and contacted Chrysler to complain. I had switched colors after a 5 week wait. The new car had fewer options. Nothing was said about decreasing the value of my trade until I appeared at the dealership to pick up the car and give final payment. I was told "dealer profit" was the reason. Chrysler, in their reply, said it was the action of an independent business enterprise and they would not be doing anything. So what is a FIVE STAR DEALERSHIP? ...Chatham Ontario.

Anyone know for sure?   Farout Replies to this message: renchbnder (Jul 15, 2006 10:01 pm) farout (Jul 16, 2006 6:53 pm)

Replying to: rrrustyfan (Jun 27, 2006 11:15 am) Trying to understand your possible deal; $250 per month for 72 months (6 years)= $18,000. I do not know if you can finance a Caliber for 6 years this cheaply. A $20,000 Honda for $234 per month cannot be done - even at 84 months (7 years) = 19,656. Once again, we are only talking car cost, as interest has to be included. Your friend has to have made a down payment or trade-in. The only reason I have broken this down is because I do not think you can even purchase the base Caliber for $18,000, which has to include taxes, title, tags and financing. Hope you can find your dream car!

I do not see how anyone will pay that much for a Compass when they can get a Liberty 4x4 for less. (a few hundred less) They are basically a Caliber RT with a jeep front end. The Patriot is more my taste for a small Jeep, but I have a Liberty CRD that I am bound to for at least 5 more years. Yes, I took out a 72 month loan. The darn thing better be doing great for 130,000 miles or else....my sweetheart just might not renew my wedding contract when our 42 anneversery then. This Sept. it will be 37 years.   Farout

Replying to: rrrustyfan (Jun 27, 2006 11:15 am) rrrustyfan: This has through Chrysler Financial at 0% for 72 months. I am not sure you can get 0% for 72 months, but with $3000. down for 60 months at $250. a month it would be possible.   We are looking to replace our 2004 Neon SXT that a Texas driver totaled when she hit our daughter. We are seriously considering a Caliber. We have a dealer in Missouri who will give us Friends and Family price from DCX. A $16,175 sticker goes for $15,553. plus a $500. rebate. Best we have found so far. We want an SXT which lists for $17,480, and ends up at $16,990. plus 4500. rebate. Maybe there is a better deal, we are still looking.   Farout
#37 of 113 D status vs. D1 status by grendel_cave Jul 17, 2006 (2:51 pm)
Does anyone who has ordered a caliber, have an idea of how long it takes for the order to go from D to D1? While it has only been two weeks since I placed my order, the dealer said he would call me when the status reached D1. I'm eagerly anticipating having a number I can check the status with.

Replying to: grendel_cave (Jul 17, 2006 2:51 pm) My black sxt took approx 4 weeks D to D1,having said that I ordered it April 5/06 and it was supposedly finished and on the train June 29/06 and it is still not in my dealership. Be prepared for a long wait!!!!! Replies to this message: fury1995 (Jul 20, 2006 9:07 am) kirstie_h (Jul 20, 2006 9:15 am) fury1995 (Jul 20, 2006 10:06 am) grendel_cave (Jul 20, 2006 3:31 pm)
