An article today on the MSNBC site just made me laugh.
Its about damn time they forced these crappy run companies into bankruptcy. Only problem is nobody wants a Damn Chrysler. I find it funny that the article mentions Chrysler Loyalist. Maybe I live in the wrong part of the country to understand that, but I have never met a person that will only buy a Chrysler. if that was the case there choice would be. The 300, Sebring, Sebring Convertible, and the Town & Country. Not many nice choices. I have met people that will only purchase Fords, Chevrolet's, or Dodges but not Chrysler. No i am not considering Dodge a Chrysler. Different plant, different logo, a subsidiary but otherwise independent. In fact the only reason Chrysler hasn't gone down the drain years ago is due to the Jeep and Dodge loyalist who I imagine if you asked them would not buy a Chrysler.
The Rebbeca Jefferies story is hilarious that the vehicle she wanted and bought is no longer made by Chrysler, and has a Mercedes Benz engine in it instead of the shitty Chrysler motor. One of the successes out of the failed Daimler-Chrysler partnership that ended a couple years ago after Daimler realized that Chrysler added nothing to the partnership. Why is there a need for 3,200 Dealerships, what is the purpose. No wonder why cars cost so much, it is to cover the cost of having to many dealerships. That's approx. 65 dealerships per state, not including Alaska because I assume there might be 2 dealerships up there. Outside of other large states California and Texas, where can 65 dealerships fit? Hopefully that is part of the bankruptcy, the world could always use less car salesman. To any Salesman I offended......GOOD. Your success is contingent on lying to people.
HOUSTON - The stalwart. The bargain-hunter. The skeptic.
As Chrysler dealers across America try to sell vehicles with the auto manufacturer in bankruptcy, they're meeting different types of customers: loyalists who aren't fazed by the troubles, those simply seeking the best deal in a bad economy, and some who are
willing to look, but aren't sold on the company's prospects...
Chrysler, the nation's third-largest automaker behind General Motors and Ford, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Thursday after months of surviving on government loans. The company hopes to emerge in as little as 30 days, allied with Italian automaker Fiat to build leaner, cleaner cars....
For some, a good deal on a new car trumped the possibility that Chrysler may not survive. Rebecca Jeffries wasn't even looking to buy when she went for an oil change Friday at Day's Baum Boulevard Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep in Pittsburgh The 66-year-old computer-company clerk has always loved the looks of Chrysler's Crossfire convertible, but the $40,000-plus tab was out of her price range. Not these days. When a sales representative made her a deal for $27,900...
Not everyone is so optimistic, and that's not surprising given the state of the automotive industry. Overall U.S. auto sales fell 34
percent in April from a year earlier, and Chrysler had the worst showing among Detroit's Big Three, down 48 percent...
Chrysler's roughly 3,200 dealers are trying to remain upbeat and talk the company line, but uncertainty lingers. For one thing, not everyone is going to keep their franchises and details on how the reorganized company will look have yet to emerge. (MSNBC)
