Would you guys buy a Chrysler product at below dealer cost (as 789 dealers close)? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

They said the three things that would never go away is the Jeep brand, Dodge Trucks, and their minivans. They gave us a website to follow all their stuff on. Its scoop.chrysler.com

Thanks for the link. It's fascinating to see the news from the inside.

Sabretooth · 05-18-2009, 01:55 PM

Only dodge I had ever liked was the Crossfire.
It was different, elegant, and basically the cheapest Mercedes SL320 you would ever buy!
The SRT6 model got good reviews from the ones I have read.

Thirty-Nine · 05-18-2009, 02:01 PM

There is currently no Chrysler product (sans a Jeep) that I'd spend my money on at this point.

The Ram only with a Cummins.

KCALB SIRAY · 05-18-2009, 02:48 PM

Never had any problems with mine and I've had 4 so far. I'd buy one

slvryaris · 05-18-2009, 03:01 PM

Hell ya for the Cummins. we really do take pride in our product. i have never really noticed how many dodge trucks with a Cummins is on the road till now

Cutie Pie #2 · 05-18-2009, 06:08 PM

Thank god, I don't have my 2004 chrysler sebring convertable, it was a nightmare of a car. Got rid of it cause the engine had sludge build up problem, I'm sticking to yarii no matter what.

enobmort42 · 05-18-2009, 06:13 PM

my last car was a '96 chrysler concorde. i got it with 78,000 miles on it and traded it in for my yaris with just under 272,000 miles on it and have only had minor things go wrong.. things that i fully expected. similarly, my dad's jeep just bit the dust a little while ago with 374k miles on it... we've had pretty good luck with them, so i voted (what should have been), "maybe/maybe not" =P

darthbauer · 05-18-2009, 08:39 PM

A Jeep Wrangler unlimited with a 5.7 liter crate HEMI... hell yeah.

JBougie · 05-18-2009, 09:24 PM

If they paid my insurance for life, paid for new tires, oil changes, maintenance for life, gave me a set of 20"s, tinted the windows, bought me a system, completely chromed out the engine bay, and installed a traveling kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and guest sleeping suite you still couldn't convince me to spend $5 on anything they make.

:)

(PS - I really like the look of domestic cars with 20"s and chromed out show ready engine bays ... it's just my minitruckin' side coming out lol)

JBougie · 05-18-2009, 09:26 PM

Please see my post above ....

Two Chrysler products, NEVER, EVER again, even for free. My stepson is working on his 3rd Dodge pigup, somehow he thinks they're great. Local guy has his 3rd Dog Pigup, can't hardly wait to get rid of it, 'cuz it is a hard-working truck, and the two are mutually exclusive.

It will be interesting to see how Chryco does if they get tied to FIAT, should be fun to watch!

I was planning to buy a 2010 Ram 3500 in the fall to replace my 2003. Looks like I'll be waiting........

Any inside news on the new engine? I didn't think the 2010 diesels were going to be any different.

Too bad the Crossfire isn't even a Dodge, lol.

Well, aside from the Crossfire being based off of the old MB SLK, I was actually just pointing out that it was badged a CHRYSLER, not Dodge.

But yeah, it was a Daimler-Chrysler concoction.

And yes, Mercedes destroyed Chrysler and bleed them dry. What a shame.
