#57 of 115 CALIBER ORDERED by jmech Aug 01, 2006 (1:06 pm)
Recently, I placed an order for a Inferno Red SXT with the CVT2,cruise control and security group. Dealer very helpful in going over the ordering process with me. I hope to get the car 4-6 weeks.   Does anyone know how far behind the factory is with orders?

Replying to: caliber_hmmm (Jul 26, 2006 12:33 pm) I am buying from Dave Smith Motors in Kellog Idaho, they sell all their cars $500 under invoice and claim to make their money from hold backs from the Mfg and volume bonus. This price is regardless of trade or not. I am trading my Audi A4 in but they told me they take 400 trades a month so they will give me what any dealer would. I had two dealers I was trying to buy a Caliber or a Matrix from here give me trade offers so I have my ammo when I pick up my Caliber. The one Caliber I found local was a base model with the upgrade to cvt and they would not budge off 19,250 so I called Dave Smith and ordered a new one the way I wanted.

#60 of 115 Caliber Order - Point of Reference by msilagy Aug 16, 2006 (4:45 pm)
I ordered an SXT from my son on August 11 from a dealer in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I have the VON number and will advise when we get a firm delivery date should anyone reading these posts be wondering what the current typical wait times are. The dealer said 6-8 weeks. I'm planning on 12 minimum. So now, we wait...   Pricing was very good. After a month of comparison shopping at locations within 1500 miles of Dallas, I was able to order locally for the invoice price as calculated on Edmunds.com and KellyBlueBook.com.   If you're considering ordering, you should know that even though two options are listed, you cannot order CJ1 Side Restraint System (side impact torso airbags) or BNB Electronic Stability Control. The latter is not available on a car equipped with CVT (automatic transmission). We wanted both of these safety options but can't get them - which was disappointing given the Caliber got a "poor" score for torso side impact protection from the IIHS last week (all other crash impact ratings are good). Dodge could provide no update on when they will be made available.   If you're looking for locations that have a significant amount of Caliber's in stock, the Miami/South Florida and Phoenix area dealers appeared to have the largest number on hand when I was searching. They wouldn't go as low as invoice pricing, but were willing to deal to within $300-$400 of it.   A final bit of information - it appears if you get the upgraded audio system with the CD Changer (with our without the cassette deck), you lose the auxilarly jack to plug an iPod in. Perhaps there's another way to connect an iPod to these units (anyone know?).

Replying to: callaways (Aug 01, 2006 5:52 pm) My order status as of today(8/17) is "D1" with expected shipping date of 8/30/06. Considering that I just ordered this car less than 2 weeks ago, I think its doing well....so far. I suspect that orders are close or up to date now with that kind of turn around. I was told 4-6 weeks and it looks like it will be the case.

I ordered My silver R/T on May 8.The dealer called me on Aug 15 to say it arrived. 14 weeks to the day.i paid 500 over invoice but the car came in $700 lower than the original price.(HAPPY DANCE).I find it a little under powered but I just stepped out of a 2000 Dakota V8 Quadcab 4X4,so I will adjust.The Ride is nice,it's quiet.I have the leather seats and don't mind the plastic interior one bit.very easy to keep clean.Musicgate kicks A**.I stuck with the single disc CD just to have the Aux. input. I have ordered a spoiler,HD floormats,bug shield,Splash guards,Sill guards,and have already installed the vent visors,and cargo mat as well as a third brake light cover that reads CALIBER R/T. I love the unique look of the car. Funny thing happened after we picked up the car.We decided to go out to dinner,just another excuse to drive the new car.Pulled into the Applebees parking lot and there were two other Calibers there already.One green one white.14 weeks I hadn't seen a single one.I have the car three hours and see two at the same time.

Replying to: grendel_cave (Jul 23, 2006 6:11 am) Well - I bought it last weekend! I am expecting to pick it up at the end of the month..someone else canceled their order and I am taking theirs - since it was exactly what I wanted. Got the dealer to give me $500 off the price (which was the exact same price as what I built online), so feel good about it. Looking forward to driving my new car!

Replying to: renchbnder (May 02, 2006 7:55 pm) I first started researching this car in March just after I bought my '06 Ram Quad Cab. I heard that Dodge was going to, in a roundabout way, bring back a new and livelier version of the old Pocket Rocket. Intrigued, I started reading about what was starting production, still kind of a concept car. 300 HP in a little 3300 lb. (If that) hatchback?? The more I read, the more I wanted. Feeding two Hemis on a 60 mile per weekday commute was starting to wear on me. Both trucks have paths worn into the Chevron's parking lot. As time went by,(and my savings account got smaller and smaller) I continued my research and found that the R/T, with it's much better estimated gas mileage would probably be the way to go. I might be what most of us consider middle aged; but I still don't like to pay an arm and a leg for insurance. Try paying full coverage rates for three!!   Anyway, I contacted Lithia Dodge in Roseburg and talked to the Gen Mgr about finding me an R/T since they didn't have one in stock. He made some calls and found their sister lot in Eugene had 3; all I had to do was pick the color. Marine Blue; no way; Solar Yellow-that's why I have a Rumble Bee-so Silver Metallic is was. My car has the Inferno Red Dash Bezel and the red seat inserts, too. She also has the 6 disc, in dash CD Changer with the 458W Boston Accoustic MusicGate system. After a stressful day at work, there is nothing like sliding open the moonroof and tuning out to Crue all the way home at decibel levels that sometimes threaten to vibrate the rearview mirror off of the windshield. Lithia has always treated me exceptionally well so when they called me and told me to come pick up my little girl, I wasn't worried about figures we had previously discussed changing. They know I don't pay ADM; they know I rarely pay invoice so when I walked out of the dealership with the trade equity out of my '03 Mitsubishi Galant; ZERO $$s out of pocket, lifetime oil changes minus rebate, I financed a hair over $15,100; I'm not about to b**ch! This is the third brand new car I've purchased from this dealer in 10 months!   Do I feel Lucky; Yeah I do-God Is definitely smiling on me.
#65 of 115 No new Factory orders for now? by mikeorb Aug 23, 2006 (11:53 am)
Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 19, 2006 4:47 pm) My sales guy knows I don't want the AWD R/T he has in stock but says that I'll have to wait until the end of the month to place a factory order because they are not accepting any due to backlog.   I could see this being true, but also wonder if the dealer has perhaps reached some dealer-specific limit. I'll call another dealer if I'm serious about the Caliber -- need to test drive again tonight and it is this out the larger Outback -- but was curious if anyone has any thoughts.   Thanks.
