1. These vehicles really are "flying off the lot". At least with us the average shelf life is less than 48 hours.
2. I don't view it as a "rip off" if someone pays over MSRP for a vehicle. Now before the net geeks rip into the dirty car salesperson I will say this.... there is no way I would pay over MSRP for a car myself and I wouldn't pay MSRP for any car personally.
However a dealer selling a car over sticker is no less wrong than you guys buying one back of invoice. In the case of the car shopper who emails a million lots to and buys a car at $700 BACK of invoice... well he found the lot willing to sell a car for that. And I don't think any of the "smart shoppers" on here would say he ripped the car lot off.
* In fact you would all be congradulating him on being smart and "beating the dealer".
Now if a lot finds a person willing to pay MSRP, $3000 over MSRP, or $11,000 over MSRP that isn't ripping them off. They simply found the customer willing to pay that for the car. While I fault the customer for being that...dumb for buying a car $11,000 over sticker nobody held a gun to his head and unless he has a mental disability he did it completely of his own free will.
** So to that car lot I say congrats on being smart and beating the customer!!!
PS. I bet people get mad about my statement with two * next to it but not the one with one * next to it!
The world is full of idiots that will pay $50,000 for a car that lists in the $30k's. This is definitely to your advantage, and what ruins it for the one that is looking for a fair deal. If people wouldn't pay the markups they simply would not exist. We both know this will never happen, so it makes finding a deal that much harder (not impossible) I will continue my search for a car that is priced what the manufacturer suggests it is worth.
While I believe the 300C is definitely a good value, it is not priced in line with the outgoing 300M. AT $32,995, the 300C is priced 10.5% over the 300M MSRP. When you consider rebates/incentives, the 300C is priced 36.8% higher than the current carsdirect.com price (for my zip code). The 300C is $32,995 and the 300M is $24,118.
Perhaps in the future when the 300C has several $1,000's in rebates/discounts, it will be a "tremendous value compared to the previous generation 300M," but at this time their pricing is not in the same ballpark.

Meanwhile, I'll just have to suffer driving my Lexus IS300. By the way, the only Chrysler products I have owned (40+ cars and stopped counting) was an 84 Dodge Ramcharger and a 91 Jeep...the Jeep was crap and the Ramcharger had a strong trannie...but I think the 300C will be the best of everything that the German-US guys can do (for now).
Congrats to those whose rides are up and on the streets.
And automotive retailers should be different? Didn't think so.
Is this normal for the hood to be so hot?
Gas mileage is around 21 MPG with 300 miles on it. That should go up after the engine is broken in.
By the way, I think the C is the only one with the MB trans. The Chrysler website has the 5 speed listed only with the Hemi.
Good luck.

Additionally I get any incentives if they become available before I take delivery so.... if everyone could STOP BUYING THESE CARS for a month I might get one. Oh yeah, Midnight Blue with Dark Grey interior.
Including what incentives? Was the extended warranty Chryslers' Maximum Care plan? What did they charge for that?
I paid 31,850 out the door, this includes the $1000 from Chrysler for using there financing. Original deal did not include power pedals. They put the order in with them by mistake and rather than reorder they gave them to me for free.
Invoice for car+options is 31,251.
Looks like $600 over invoice to me!
So, in your example, the actual invoice would be about $31,751. If your deal was $32850., you are about $1099 above invoice, still not a bad deal. What was the MSRP?
My MSRP is 33,705 (32,370 car, 535 sound2, power pedal 175, destination 675).
The fact that I can get a car this loaded that scoots for what a 2-3 year old Caddie STS would cost is cool! Not to mention I'll be looking at the STS in the rear view.
paid 0 ded 5yr 85000 mi $1355 maxi care
Is it similar to the "Friends of ours" deal?
The list was $28,195 and I paid $26,617 less the $1,000 finance bonus for a price of $25,617.

If you order without a sun roof you can get the much quicker. The manufacturer of the sun roof can not keep up with Chrysler demand.
