It's funny you say that... I looked on my dealerships website today and they have my truck listed on their site. On the listing it says truck is in transit to dealer which it has been for the last 2 weeks. Just find it very odd they have it posted on their site with all the other trucks they have for sale.
They didn't say. I think they were just happy TY have the trucks as their lot was almost empty.
You must have been in the office right next to me. I was in Brian’s, right next to Craig. I had my two teenage daughters with me.
Let me guess !!! Never Again Volunteer Yourself !!!
Glad you're happy in the end. That's what really matters! Other than the longer than expected wait at the dealership, what are your final thoughts and opinions of Koon's. On the drive home did you think everything in this process went about as well as you hoped (clearly, this excludes your CAI debacle)?Exactly!!! I went over every inch of the truck. Everything is spot on except the CAI. I just left without the Mopar CAI. A dealer in NY is going to replace it. They definitely took care of me because of this screw up. It will all work out in the end

HOW did you make out with the financing department? That is my beggest concern? The Koons deal is u must finance thru Chrysler Capital or loose the 1000.00. I was wondering what rate you received????Exactly!!! I went over every inch of the truck. Everything is spot on except the CAI. I just left without the Mopar CAI. A dealer in NY is going to replace it. They definitely took care of me because of this screw up. It will all work out in the end
Thanks Trippl_B!
HOLY SH!T mine too!!!!! and I was just there today and we looked at dealer connect and it said in transit and was still under My name!!

Anyone else??

They make kickback money from Chrysler Capital and can add a few points to the % you pay for your loan. That's likely their motivation for that policy. A few automakers have changed their policies towards dealerships marking up loan percentages by allowing only a maximum markup by the dealer on loans of 1%-2%. Chrysler is not one of them, at least not at this point. That's one benefit of having financing set up before you get there. You can shop your rate, and not get taken by the F&I guy (or gal). You very well could save more than that $1000 in your interest rate with outside financing.
I know. Ive been buying for 35+ years. LEASING is the exact same way with money factor. Koons has screwed me before... Well, their financing department, NOT my original sales guy. Was a 2019 Jeep. Said they were doing me a favor at 5.99 with an 836 Credit Score. I was going to choke the f!cker out. When I bought my Scat Pack in 2020, I just brought a check. I have some time to mull it over. My bank is at 2.19. I clearly see Chryslers standard rate for teir 1 is 1.9. And I'm ok with that. I'm not going to get screwed again. Once is enough.
THIS^^ Unless the manufacturer is offering a great finance deal (like zero APR), I always get my own financing at my local credit union. Other than zero percent deals, they have never been beat plus they are easy to work with. For leases, you can find Chrysler Capital standard money factor online as well as any good MF deals they have. Dealership's are in it to make money, so if they are offering $1k off but you gotta finance through them, they are likely getting more than $1K somewhere else. Look for the rub and you will find it. A buddy who is a salesman at a dealership was telling me his shop gets pi$$ed if someone comes in with cash (or already financed). It doesn't take long to figure out why.
Kinda like gambling, bingo, lottery...people are starting to hit all around me...just waiting for my number to come up. Exciting building then a big "awww" when the latest BS are announced.
No, that is the same vin that is in the tracker and it's my only order.
They'll take it if you let them. They are going to try to make as much money in F&I as they can. Being educated about the process is the best way to counter. Sounds like you are well prepared.
