Price it up at
New Cars ? New Car Prices & Specials - Discount New Cars, see what you get, I find it is fairly accurate as to how much you can bargain.

Nope, the cars I test drove had acc, fcw and blis. I have it now on my grand Cherokee overland, and it's been great.

probably would only go black, white or mineral grey
its a little hard to work out what price i actually am paying seeing i had a trade in...
mine has the leather interior group (mucho leather everywhere and nicer mats) and the sunroof. would have liked the black chrome group but that would have meant i would have to order a new car from scratch and wait till possibly next year....
given the tradein was above redbook valuation, i think i got a pretty good deal at 73.5k drive away with 12 months rego!
the only issue with it (which i was happy to live with) was that a few ppl had test driven the car and it had 180-190 km on it before i put 20 kms on it myself....
can't wait...!!! 5 more sleeps!!!  |
Awesome, post lots of pics. I'm off to the states in a week or so, and I get it the day I come bad to aus, so I'm not too fussed. Can't wait

WHAT A RIP!!! they are preying on those desperate to get an srt8 now rather than wait. i did speak to the state manager here in WA and he indicated there was going to be a shortage of cars coming here for the short term at least.
another dealer was giving me a price 1.8k lower but couldnt deliver the car till nov/dec.. dealbreaker!!!!
they are delaying delivering my car allegedly because of a door latch problem affecting some of the 300s... allegedly waiting on a part from chrysler which is taking a friggin long time ... i reckon they are hanging on to it as long as possible so that more people can view the car. they tell me no one is driving it... i know the last odo meter reading and it better not be much more than that!!!!!

Unsure on the door latch issue, mine will be at the dealer early September so shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
