300C Orders

Anyone else with Hemi issues?
I ordered a new 300C about a month ago I am now being told by the dealership
(Smith Chrysler, NJ) that the Hemi engine is not avaiable and that they can
not give me a date when Chrysler will start building the order!!!

I'm in upstate NY. My dealer has 2 hemi 300C in stock. Have your dealer
search the computer for dealer stock.

Your dealer's trying to optimize profit on this one sale, rather than
procure it from another dealer. Bad long term practice.

Next year you can get it via the UK...

Several Hemi 300C's at various dealers here in the Charlotte NC area. And
already hear of new Magnum SXT Hemi's showing up on a few lots according to
some of the Mopar forums.

Correction...it's not a SXT but rather an RT.

 

Thanks for the thoughts

Update as of Tuesday 5/11

Allegedly we now have an engine but cannot find a moon roof so we have still
not moved to build status.
Also no like models supposedly that match my configuration when they do a
dealer search:
Midnight Blue 300C with all options except the navigation ( I won't stop to
ask directions why should I pay Chrysler $1500 for the privilege? any way I
bought the beast to drive not to actually get there! )

See new post

I now have a new 300c through the dealership -- One happy camper ;-)

 

Get in line Nigel. I pre-ordered a C on December 27, 2003 and I'm
still getting jerked around!!! I have been told that the car is built
but that it could be held up for "quality inspection". As of
yesterday GRAND PRIX JEEP-CHRYSLER in Long Island, NY could not even
find out were my car is. After entering the VIN number in their
tracking system, it is reported: "Can not locate VIN # xxx". Can not
locate a car? How do these guys loose track of a VIN? I can order a
$20.00 item online and through UPS or FedEx watch every step the
stupid package takes to get to my front door. How can a "Five Star"
Chrysler dealer not know where a car thats been invoiced be? Does
anyone know the ropes of car shipping from plant to dealer?

 

I was lucky and jumped the line when the dealership offered me their
showroom model as it came in two weeks ago. Even luckier it was built May
4th after Chrysler had fixed the camber/right drift problem that plagued
some of the earlier made 300's. The car I ordered is still waiting
delivery. All options and the Hemi!!!

 

I'm jealous! I really like the new C and wish I was in a position to
get one myself. First time in a decade I have actually wanted a new
car.
