Re: Fraudulent Dealers

We should paste this link in an email and start sending the link to all the dirtbag dealerships so they know what we are saying about them.

They also burned another friend of mine that was buying a Charger from them several months ago.

The sales manager there is the worst I have seen in years with any dealership.

Chrysler is looking at how this order and others were handled and are taking this into consideration as the consolidation of dealerships begins.
Ditto for Gulfgate Dodge in Houston. Advertise "Internet" price as $41,095 and don't respond to an acceptance of their offer.
As for other comments in this thread, yes the ads by these as_es are false, deceptive and misleading. They absolutely violate every State Statute relating to deceptive consumer practices that I'm aware of. However, the Attorney General's office in each of the States just doesn't make going after this conduct a priority. Dealers engage in this conduct with outright contempt for the law.
I hope Chrysler does take a hard look at these practices and takes that into consideration in relation to future allocations. I'm not so hopeful because I haven't found a specific number to call at Chrysler to report these incidents.

I bought my car at sticker and picked it up July 21st. My dealer told me that during that morning, he had 3 calls , all willing to pay WAY over sticker for the car. (Only one 08 at his dealership). He stayed good to our agreement, and sold me the car at sticker. He told me he would give me their names, and that I should flip it, and I could just about pay for a 09 with the extra money !! There's the GOOD dealer. (Halifax Chrysler Dodge Jeep).BTW, I'm keeping my car.
On the other hand: I live in a city that has 3 dealerships, each of which received 1 of the 08's. My son knows one guy who was getting one of the other 2 . He had made a written contract , complete with a down payment. When he went to pick up his car, he was told it had been sold !!! We know the status of this dealer . He's suing the dealer, and Dodge.

Re: Fraudulent Dealers

This thread is the very reason Chrysler should consider offering the SRT and possibly other models through company-owned distribution channels. They need to protect the brand.

Re: Fraudulent Dealers

I went and did a new search on their inventory in the N TX area and came up with this results

According to this, they have 2 SRT 08's selling under MSRP and one with a MSRP of $61K! How screwed up is that!

Re: Fraudulent Dealers

I thought this needed a bump as Chrysler is finally looking into this issue.
