Solid Blue GTS and Solid Black GTS on Autotrader and Ebay

[Solid Red 98]

Solid GTS blue with track pack. Beautiful car:


Solid black GTS. Love the contrast with the red/black interior:

Do dealers just try to take the worst pictures, on purpose?

What kind of sh*t is this? That car's VIN ends in 379...250 or so AFTER my black GTS. Why the hell is mine still in "production scheduled" and theirs is sitting on the showroom floor?!?!

VIN has nothing to do with build order

ok, then why is a VCA member ordered car still not built (remember, they were going to build those first) when an unsold dealer car is?

hey, my gripe as well... annoying that those of us that put money down are sitting here twiddling our thumbs while the built cars sit on dealer lots with $20k markups.

Yup. This whole process has been frustrating and disappointing.

 

[HyperViper]

Look at it this way.Maybe they will get all the kinks out before yours is built.

Looks like the Viper has taken the Pole postion!

Ralph said it was going to be a better dealer experience right?

I hear you. My Launch Edition which I placed a deposit back in October is still not here, but UNSOLD Launch Editions are all over dealer showrooms. Obvious they are not building member ordered cars first.....has me a bit frustrated.

 

[Smog Dog]

Love the red and black interior! But so agree that we were fed a bunch of bull about the sold orders and VCA membership meaning special treatment...too bad.

Hopefully they will all be delivered before Autumn- or else many buyers will be putting their cars into hybernation with little or no fun time

At this point i would imagine they are just waiting for transports to get your car to your dealer as i had seen a picture of #150 of the LE's in a dealership showroom.

 

[mnc2886]

Gee, sounds like repeat buyers are in this thread....good job SRT....

 

[ViperSmith]

Sadly SRT maybe missing the boat for me. Looking for a Porsche turbo now (wife had some news this weekend...)

Perhaps if something happens in the next week or so...

And frankly the whole situation puts me off. I get delays, but it is a bit much now.

 

[Mamba52]

What the hell is SRT thinking!!!! Sorry but I don't think this Gen is going to last long.

 

[Brian GTS]

Yep, that's where my LE is at.....sitting at the plant....while unsold cars sit in dealership showrooms. I could drive down the road a couple hours and buy a LE.....what the heck was the point of pre-ordering, placing a deposit, etc. back in October? Ended up waiting longer... It's not right...

 

[Chelseasnake]

what srt should do is if the people that had put a deposit down on cars and not got them yet. they should be able to get the cars that are on dealer showrooms not sold. then when the other cars are built, ship them to those dealers.

You have more self control than I do in that situation! (Seeing as there are plenty of LE on showrooms for MSRP)

 

[Nine Ball]

Yeah, depending on the deposit amount, I'd be taking it up with the dealership and telling them they should just refund it and go buy one sitting on a lot now. Total BS that an ordered LE isn't shipped, but inventory cars are sitting on lots.

SRT did remove the VCA club website link for a while there, maybe they don't think too highly of this club or its members after all.

After the way SRT has f'ed this launch up there's a good chance this is my last Mopar.

Needless to say, my first foray into owning an American brand has been, well, not so great!

Well, I pretty much lost it today with my dealer out of frustration with all this. So much for self control. I'm in the process of canceling actually. It's been a big turn-off and no one is listening. I now wish I hadn't sold my Gen IV.

 

[HyperViper]

Really messed up. I feel for you Guys. Glad I didn't order, nor will I ever order.

I feel like I am getting to that point myself.

 

[ACRucrazy]

I think some answers would go a long way for the folks who are waiting.

 

[chorps]

I bet the original plan was to get the Conner up and running smoothly, and that meant as many vehicles that could be identical (ie dealer editions and launch editions) were made such that they could guarantee everyone was up to speed. However, there's been *some kind* of SNAFU that has gummed up the works somewhat.

If someone could just take the 10 minutes to get on here and get people on the same page it'd go a long way towards turning down the tension levels. Sheesh, we have VCA exec peeps cancelling, the sound of silence is deafening. I really wish someone who knows what is going on at corporate would stick their head in hear, even if it is just to get a tongue lashing.

I'm surprised that the Mayo Clinic hasn't become a sponsoring VCA vendor here by now...

To everyone that's ordered their Gen V and hasn't received it yet, I feel for you guys. But I still hate you.

 

[Paul Hawker]

On the other hand, reports trickling in from new owners is that the Gen V is a pretty nicely improved snake. Better ride, handling and much stronger engine performance.

Think it might be worth the wait, even though it has got to be frustrating.
