I rather have a Long Slow Painful Root Canal, than the wait...

I rather have a Long Slow Painful Root Canal done, than the wait that Chrysler is putting me through. After almost a 5 month wait to build the car, now I am in stuck JS status, which is storage. They finally built the car, now they want to torture me some more. I have to wait, God knows how long before the ship it...lol

Why would they put it in Storage?

**Challenger370** · 03-06-2009, 09:00 PM

I thought it was bad wating 3 months for a Caliber when they first came out. I was told it was only taking about a month when they are caught up.

My solutin is suspended anomation. Be put out for 6 months.

Do they engrave your name in the headliner if you order one lol. Always been curious why people still order them when you can buy that same car from the lot.

I ordered mine because no one had the options I wanted. That and they were offerintg it for $500 over invoice if you ordered.

As for the wait, the whole JS stage seems to take the longest, but just let it go. As soon as it gets put on a train, you'll be really anxious. I went to google maps trying to map out the path it would take on the rail.

the more things change the more they remain the same.

Anyone with an 05 into early 06 models SRT8 will tell you this is a repeat!

Just better pricing.

They do put your name "especially made for" on the window sticker, only means something to the owner( I kept my window sticker) and I wanted an SRT8 with no sunroof, plus When I ordered I got it at invoice. When I ordered they were selling for more than MSRP on the lots.

Just a couple of reasons I ordered!

**OneBadChally** · 03-07-2009, 06:26 PM

Big Snake you did it for the window sticker, you can't fool me...J/K lol

Ordered May 27th, got it October 16th. So you're on par.
The SRTs (and maybe the RTs but don't know) get shipped to a striping vendor, too, which seems to hold them up for a week or two. Maybe that's your storage?

onebad,
i feel for ya, however, yesterday from 12noon till 2:20 pm i just had a long.....slow.....painful root canal and cap.
wait for the car.

**Old Goat** · 03-07-2009, 10:48 PM

That must really suck...I'd need Prozac or something. I had to wait over the weekend to get my car and it damn near killed me.

Hope you get it soon!

I went in to drive an R/T and ended up ordering one.

They told me employee pricing for the challanger is gone, because to many dealerships were complaining about not making enough money. They also said it takes 1-6 months to build. They explained that it depends on allocation. When they sell one, they are re-allocated another one to be built. They did explane if it is flagged sold with someones name it tends to get higher priority.
The salesman joked sayign I wont see it until Christmas.

I find it hard to believe with the big 3 almost bankrupt, slow credit, slow sales, some dealerships going out of business, they shold be willing to sale whatever just to turn some profit. Plus if no one is buying cars, then shouldnt there be plenty of slots for the few that are buying cars to have theirs made immediatly? I understand when I ordered my caliber it was so hot that even with 3 shifts they could not make enough for demand, but when they take extra shutdowns to decrease inventory why dont they have enough build room to make any car that is ordered right away? Have they cut production to much? If that is the case, and they need money, why not increase production to meet the demand? If the demand is so high they are backlogged 6 months, re-start 2nd shift, and get money now.

Makes no sense to me.

First JATEE I feel for you guy I have had a few done myself and that is no picnic. Feel better soon. Next I want to thank you guys for all your moral support that you given me. It helps make it more bearable the wait. I know sometimes I vent to much, but again you guys are great. Now as far as them building these cars, Charger250 hit it right on the head. They really should have stayed open and caught up on their back orders of the Challys. What they did really did not make sense...

Thanks again guys,
Mark
