No more 2015 R/T orders?

A local dealer is telling me factory orders for the '15 R/T are officially closed for the year. Doesn't sound right with the '16 still 6 months away (based on when the '15 shipped last year).

Is this guy just blowing smoke up my tailpipe hoping I'll buy off the lot? (I won't.)

My local dealer checked with his regional rep and he is still able to order D's. If you are willing to come to Long Island, I'll give you his contact info. He will give you 1% off invoice before rebates.

I told you guys any dealer can still order. If they say they cant that just means they don't WANT to. We actually didn't get our order in til this past Monday evening. We almost went with one on the lot but we really wanted the radar red interior. The manager called his rep while we were sitting there because it does say restricted when they build it, but his rep said go ahead no problem. They even put it in as a SOLD rush order so just MAYBE we might get it a little quicker. If a dealer is telling you they cant order one then find another dealer.

By the way for anyone interested we got 2.5% below invoice plus available incentives locked in with the ability to go up if better incentives are available at time of delivery.

My dealer who said '15 orders were closed did more research at my insistence and **surprise!** he can still order one. So sorry guys, much ado about nothing due to a single dealer who had his facts wrong.

Now I'm kinda hung up on CarPlay integration, so I may be waiting until 2016 unless Dodge announces backwards compatibility. Or heck, if it will even make it by 2016.

Its not gonna make it by 2016. They really haven't even talked anything much about it. Just buy one. If you keep waiting for the next add on you're never going to get anything. Every new MY is going to have SOMETHING that the previous year didn't

unfortunately, none of this is what sells a vehicle to 99% (BTW all statistics are made up :) ) of car buyers. The sales cycle is "walks in, falls in love, signs the papers, gone"

Google and Apple have been pushing their proprietary angle, either of which leaves out half of the market (and, also, leaves out the auto makers).

One would hope that the various RTOS* vendors are pushing an agnostic interface to get the auto makers out of this mess, but the RTOS vendors have their own vested interests.

Gonna take some years before this settles out.

*RTOS: Real Time Operating System. The stuff that glues all the computing widgets in the vehicle together.

Hate to dig up this semi-old thread. But I wanted to know the outcomes? Was everyone able to order their car? I want to order a R/T but was told last night that i can't (just the R/T). Granted it is now the beginning of July, so I may be stuck and have to wait till 2016s to order. Or do you think I should push my dealership?

You should be able to order a vehicle around 10% below msrp. People are reporting 8-12% range as decent deals. Yours is about right
Oh and I see the rebate went from 750 to 1750, wow!

yeah mine was 52,710 MSRP and I got a price of 47,149. I think it ended up being about 5.5 % below invoice and about 11% below MSRP. That's as good as it gets I believe. 1% is a few hundred dollars. Employee pricing is 5% below invoice. I was extremely happy with my price. Had my vehicle not been still in the shop for 12 days out of the 16 total days I've owned it I would say my buying experience was second to none.

My dealer said, "You what Wheel locks and nitrogen fill, right?" And he is charging $207 for both. Should I do this?
Don't wast your $$ on the mopar wheel locks. They stick out too far and all of mine started corroding after just one year. Get yourself a set of gorilla spline lugs. Every lug is essentially a lock.

Hey Temecula Dave. I've looked at your dealer up there (tonight, in fact). But not seeing the one I want (R/T, tech and tow) But they are responsive, anyway. Poking around in L.A. and San Bernardino, too, on the internets.

Looking fwd to seeing pics of yours and hearing first impressions. Congrats!! And about that debris falling from the sky, not sure but one of the old guys in the neighborhood called 'rain'. Weird, eh? : )

I generally find surround sound (outside of a home theater setup with movies) to be a cheap gimmick, but are you saying you get no sound from the sub at all? That ain't right. :(

Congrats on the new Ride Hopefully you get the sub issue worked out

Yeah really. Where are you located. I can't get anyone here in the Memphis area to go below about 5% off MSRP. Got one guy in Indiana near where we have family that says he can do 9% but he can't find one like I want it. Apparently it's too late to order one (Citadel V6 RWD)
