RE: Rumors- Who to Believe?
Every down payment is refundable. The dealer might give you grief, but they can't keep your money if you decide to back out. When the first cars hit the lots, there will be accurate information concerning production quantities. Certainly we'll know if it's closer to 4500, 5000, 9000 or "less than 10,000". So anyone who purchases has the ability to either pay the agreed upon price, try to negotitate it lower, back out and wait, or buy a Mustang or hold on for a Camaro. Won't see me shedding any tears for anyone who overpays for a "collectible" and then whines about the price or production quantities.
I also don't understand all the b1tch1ng about Chrysler. They are providing a gorgeous 425 muscle car for under $38K. GT500's are $7K more (with an additional 75 HP). Your elected officials imposed the $2100 Gas Guzzler tax, sales tax, registration fees (tax), and other silly taxes. The dealers (not Chrysler) are adding additional markups. If the buyers all refuse to pay it, they will sell all day long at MSRP. Let them all sit from April thru May and the dealers will relent quickly as their selling season for a summer sports car dries up.
