Chrysler Owner Loyalty Certificate - extra $1,000

[jake75]

Offer good 5/5/09 t0 6/30/09 but I just got it in the mail today.Interesting in that many models are excluded.Chrysler - excluded are Crossfire, PT Cruiser and Sebring Sedan.Dodge - excluded are Avenger, Caliber, Challenger, Magnum, Sprinter and Viper.Jeep - excluded are Wrangler, Compass and Patriot.So what's left? Not much.Last week I got a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealer mailing an offer of an extra $500 cash allowance - only exclusions were Viper and Sprinter.

I got that when I bought my vibe, except mine wasn't advertized

Yeah got the same notice. My Compass is up in Oct, was thinking about the Patroit, guess not.I suppose when you only have the same stale products to sell and try and recover from bankruptcy, you do not want to give money off the somewhat good sellers you have! Chrysler rather start production back up on the $90,000 Dodge Viper. That was a headline here on the news, people at the Viper plant were so happy to get back to work making $90K vehciles. Such a great vehicle for the masses, it has sold 25,000 since 1992! Also, the first Fiat rumored to come here in 2010 is a three door! What? Most people want 4 or 5 doors, not 3. Good luck with that, shows people are making the same bone headed decisions like before!

The fold down rear and middle seats in their minivans. The PT Cruiser that was very hot for awhile. The gangster big Chrysler 300's; Crossfire. The Dodge Magnum or whatever it's called. I have owned several Chrysler products over the years - 1987 Plymouth Grand Voyager; 1993 Plymouth Colt Vista Wagon; 1996 Plymouth Voyager; 1998 Plymouth Voyager, 2004 Chrysler T&C, 2007 Chrysler T&C. I had no serious problems with any of them. My son is still driving the 1998 Plymouth Voyager - over 200,000 miles with original engine and transmission.

I got the Pontiac loyalty bonus of $1000, but I guess I should have asked about the Chrysler bonus as well!Well, Chrysler is king of the minivan, I'll give you that! But they lack a small car, granted lots of Americans laugh in the face of small vehicles. I remember when gas ran up over $4/gal, I got quite a kick about filling up the bike for $10 while the guy in the SUV at the pump next to me was sweatin' as his tab ran over $150. We'll see what Chrysler-Fiat does over the next few months... (Maybe we can persuade them to put stick shifts back in full size trucks!!!...... hey, I can dream...)

My son's father-in-law has a medium sized bike and he only gets about 50 mpg. I thought it would be a lot higher.

My parents just used this this weekend to trade their wearing PT in on a brand new Caliber. Not too bad to go from an '04 PT to an '09 Caliber and keep the same payment over the same term.Strange that it says the Caliber is excluded and yet they got the bonus on theirs. *shrug*

[star_deceiver]

55 - 65 US mpg depending on drafting, wind, and hills. 0 - 60 is about 18+ seconds. I looked at the Caliber a month or so ago but All the dealer had was overoptioned top end models... the cheapest being over $20k with deals... the Ford dealer across the street had a brand new Mustang for less (v6, test drove that too... much better car!)
