I think your in the home stretch. D1 to dealer was only like 7 to 10 days with my order. The dealer is really the best place to get info. My dealer got a status update every day. I was told by DCCS that they only get updates on Wednesday. And, strangely enough, you can get different answers the same day from 2 different customer service reps. Some will give you "reason codes" and others won't know anything about them.
It IS worth the wait. The car takes off like a rocket. I've had zero problems *knocking on wood* and no tickets so far. The SG2 sound sytem is awesome.
Good luck!
I have been driving Chryslers since I learned to drive 22 years ago, but looks like my next vehicle will be an Infiniti G35.
I have a long list of critiques on the 300C, but don't think Chrysler could care any less, otherwise I would post it or send it to them.
A number of long-term Chrysler owners got pumped about the 300C, only to have to deal with greedy and despondent dealers, long factory order periods, manufacturing restrictions --on colors, sunroof, etc. As if this weren't enough, talking to a DCX customer rep is a Case Study in cluelesness and indifference.
Frustrated and disappointed, some of these loyal customers are choosing to leave Chrysler for the first time in years, and buying competitive near-luxury imports instead.
Once the dust settles, no amount of rebates will bring these people back, and those new customers brought in by the 300C, will move on to whichever brand brings the new sizzle.
This is exactly opposite from where Chrysler hoped to be.
I'll assume you have a VON number? Do you have a VIN number? What's your status?
It looks to me like your dealer does not have any allocation left. Have you asked him if he has allocation for this vehicle? If he doesn't, you're in for a longer wait.
If you know where to look these things are available at good prices off the lot. You may have to purchase a one way plane ticket and drive it home like others have done. It depends on how much you want it.
22 weeks? Geezis!!!
als- Does your dealer have enough allocation? You may want to call them and ask.

I paid $1000 below invoice at Carmax Orlando, pay $795 for shipping. If anyone want help about how to order outside california, let me know or drop me an email.

Do you mean $1000 below MSRP? The 300c's listed at the CarMax web site are below MSRP, not invoice. Also, does car max give you any existing Chrysler rebates, like the $1000 finance rebate? At the very least, I could use the listed CarMax prices as leverage with the Chrysler dealers.

I'm 9 weeks into my 16 week wait and I feel for ya. You should at least get a vehicle order number (VON) from the salesman and a status. That'll answer the question about whether or not the order has been placed. The dealer absoolutely has that info. Your salesman is probably too lazy to get it for you (mine was also). However, I don't think anyone can predict delivery until it starts into the scheduled/production cycle. Yours should be there by now.
as a lame duck, It also seems chrysler has great strides in the quality department, im in my 20's and gm's products all seem so old tech design, engines. they sit way to long on the same platform, and the magnum is an awesome product, GM makes nothing like it. I think all the daimler chrysler products have already surpassed Gm and ford offerings. I happen to know on a smaller scale my Moms Sebring sedan is way more trustworthy than I ever thought a Chrysler product could be. way to go chrysler!!
