Canadian SRTs???

[300CUL8R]

Is it me or are all the new SRT8 owners in Canada? When do the lower 48 get a chance to play????

canadians only get like 5% of the total build, the canadian srt owners are probably all members of this site.

I got a feeling pretty much everybody should be getting there's very soon. I think CARBUILDER or grunt said the last 2005 was built this week.

The SRT8s are already in the U.S.; at dealers in long beach CA and TX.

Just got back from my dealer, after getting a bodyshop estimate on my 2nd minor fender bender and stopped in at the showroom and sitting there was a black SRT8 with all the trimmings, so I had a chance to sit in it and see what it had for options. This car was fully loaded with all the bells and whistles that are available in Canada. This car was not sold so I went to my favourite new car manager and got the figures for you Canadians. The MSRP on this car is $56,100 plus 7% GST which is $3,927 for a total of $60,027 out the door. If I had wanted this car I could have got it for 52,900 plus GST, as I am a good customer.

Check your facts there is NO gas tax in Alberta. I didn't forget anything.

My Winnipeg dealer seems to be bs-ing me. Ordered in early jan. Cancelled my '05 and now have a ship date for an '06 on April 3rd or 4th. Seems that his rep told him there were NO '05's. He just did a search and found the one you were looking at this weekend.

So he is calling to see if i can get that one that you were looking at. Do guys in Calgary not want this thing? As to gas tax - Manitoba does not seem to have one either.

This dealer here in Calgary got this car in last Wed and put it in the showroom, and except for a guy who was looking for a silver one there really has been no interest in it. I can tell you that your dealer will not get his hands on this one as it may go to the dealer principal for his demo.

That is really too bad. I really made a point to my dealer that i wanted an '05. I had a VIN and all for a '05. Then was told about a month ago "There have not nor will there be any 05's built!" Which was stated to me even today and unless i would have happened upon this site would have believed him and had to tell him to go do some research and where he found 7 or 8 in Canada - oops!

It is very frustrating to be lied to even if the dealer says his western rep lied to him. I think Chrysler needs to work on getting their pricing and delivery issues sorted out before they take deposits.

I wonder whether i should phone up the dealer in Calgary to purchase from him if he does want to sell... But I guess there would be service issues.
