My dealer just said...take that SRT Crossfire over there, the second time he said we got a 300c Hemi over there do want that? The owner and the service mgr. said you should drive what you are used to driving, if not better. All I can say is that I am very lucky to have a great dealer (also this is not the dealer I originally purchased the car from).

 

I got a 2002 suzuki 4x4. It was not a lot of fun to drive...

 

Must be nice. Although my dealer is a pretty decent one he doesn't give me any choice...a Dodge Stratus a Dodge Stratus or a Dodge Stratus. All of those are silver to boot!

 

Just got service today, they gave me a PT cruiser, smelled like a smoker car. Needed it to get to work and back.

 

Where did you get that info? My dealership will always schedule a courtesy car via their contract with Enterprise, whenever I take in my xfire in for scheduled service...oil changes, etc. The maximum days allowed for a courtesy car is up to 5 consecutive days and there are exceptions to that. For example: My xfire required a new dash module system (the only problem experienced) which had to be shipped in from Germany. The dealership had me keep the courtesy vehicle (a Jeep) for two weeks...and I paid nothing. Other courtesy vehicles provided to me were a Jaguar X-Type, Dakota quad-cab, and a Infinity I30. However per Enterprise, going forward, only Chrysler products will be issued to Chrysler customers needing a courtesy car....hence me getting a Jeep during my last oil service.

 

Maybe I should have said repair work. It's not for getting your oil changed and so on, but I read it in one of the papers they sent me. I bought mine used, so that might make the difference. Plus I tried to get one for my oil being changed but they told me the same thing and said that only if you bought it new you could get a rental for just servicing.

 

I was given a 2005 Ram 1500 for my last service. I used it to move out of my apartment and then to help a friend move a TV. It was really nice not having to rent or ask somebody. Next time I need a truck, I will just take my car in for some routine service.

On a side note, after driving the Ram for a week, my dealer asked if they could trade me for a '03 Sebring. With gas as expensive as it is, I was glad to hand the truck back after I used the crap out of it for an entire week. Plus the service manager threw in a tank of gas for having me drive an hour out of my way to trade cars.

 

Yes it can be used for routine maintenance. It doesn't matter if you bought it used either. As long as it's still within the 3yr./36 mo. warranty you are eligible for Premium Care. Here's a direct quote from Chrysler:

"The Chrysler Premium Care Plan compliments the standard limited warranty with a NO CHARGE complimentary loaner vehicle during scheduled maintenance service or warranty repair appointments made anytime during the 3/36 limited warranty period. And just like the standard limited warranty, it's transferable to subsequent owners. With the Chrysler Premium Care Plan, you won't have to sit and wait while your vehicle is being serviced."

Thanks.

 

The first couple of times I used a PT Cruiser, one was a convertible but it was the middle of winter and no use to me. But the last time was some low cost rental car from Enterprise, I was not happy.

 

Gave me a V6 Magnum...very upset.

 

you buy a used car in this town (MEMPHIS) and you get nada, zip, zero... period. They type your VIN in the computer and you come up as a second owner, and your out of luck. Mine will be in the shop for the second time with the ticking engine problem... so far its got a nice scratch on the front fender and on the console... and it still ticks... I hate dealerships.

 

Wow...some of you guys just kill me...your dealer gives you a Magnum V6 for a loaner and you are very upset? How much did it cost you? Did you have to pay for it? Did you have to pay for the Premium Care Package that came with your Crossfire? Did you even know that you had it?

God...no wonder so many dealerships hate to see Crossfire customers come in...
