Dealer here in Northern VA wanted $5000 over MSRP; when pressured, dropped price to "only" $2500 over. I checked dealer inventory online for all dealers in the Washington-Baltimore area, and only one other dealer had a roadster. I was able to purchase an Alabaster Auto for $1000 under MSRP, which I consider a fair price considering the limited availability at this time.

Don't the dealers realize that this could be what hurt them when the coupe came out? I know I was a little turned off when I saw someone charging 10 large over the sticker for the coupe. Jeez, get a clue Chrysler Dealers.

that is BS - you should never pay more than invoice on a car - not even sticker, espically not more than sticker....

As bad as the market is for everyone moving cars you should probably demand fleet pricing (1% under invoice) - I got mine for 3 percent under invoice and my buddy just bought his truck at invoice at the same dealer yesterday.

Remember they make a profit at invoice...

Supply and demand. Soon enough there will be enough on the ground and they will be forced to let them go at MSRP.

Pinto, How much did they quote you, which car did you look at and did you get any options. I ordered a blk limited AT with two-tone interior and was given a price of 40,430. Is this way overpriced? Just want to know before I give them the check.

$40,430 is MSRP for a Limited Roadster ($38,045) with Auto trans ($1,075), plus premium 2-tone interior ($250) and the ASP tires ($185). Destination charge is $875.

I am picking up my black roadster limited tommorrow evening. Wanted a graphite but none to be had in this area so, what the heck, black will be fine. I didn't pay anything over msrp. I knew being first would require a premium, but MSRP is fine with me. You only go around once and this will be the first vehicle that will be purchased for pleasure and not business. Time to reap the rewards for years of hard work. Can't take it with you. I'll post some pics from the local Clearwater Hooters.
gonna be a great weekend!!!

Bill,
I have the opposite problem as you. I want the black roadster, but my dealer only has the graphite. Maybe we should arrange a dealer trade. Just kidding! I'll be happy to wait for mine if I have too. :wink:

Carmax in Orlando have an auto black crossfire roadster in. One with cedar interior and they are charging just under 40 thousand for it. Which is way overpriced IMO.
