Replying to: alamocity (Nov 01, 2009 8:22 am) A few months ago when Chrysler was shutting down dealerships a number of new vehicles began showing up at other stores as "used" with 10 or so miles. The discounts were pretty substantial. When I inquired about this I was told that they might be from recently closed dealerships or perhaps rental agencies who had a surplus. I don't know if this is the case with your car. If I was buying this car I would want some proof that it wasn't some sort of lemon buyback or one that fell off the truck. Otherwise I would pay almost as much as for a "virgin".

Anyone know what portion of the sale has to be completed by 12/31/09? i.e. if I am ordering a vehicle that won't be delivered until January, is there any way to still to qualify for the tax credit? Thanks.

| If I had to guess, it sounds like a dealer with an overstock situation sent the excess to the auction? | |

There is a reason that the car is being sold used... I'd want to know that reason... Could be innocent.... or, maybe the car fell off of the car carrier while being unloaded and has $3K worth of body work. You need to find out which it is..
