As for the 0%, the point here is that it was supposed to be good through Monday, 4 May and many people here had deals agreed to this past weekend and then the financing was pulled because Chrysler Financial is essentially going out of business under the Chapter 11 Re-organziation. I would expect 0% too when it was advertised and already agreed to. I was lucky and still got the 0% from my dealer this past Saturday but I too would have been very upset if I was told after I negotiated the deal last Friday on the phone that the 0% was gone when I went to pick up the truck on Saturday.

Ultimately, dealer rep does play into this because different dealers have different leverage. One person wrote on one of the threads here that they had 7% (reduced from 8%) and thought it was a good deal but that's terrible in this market. Anything over 5% is ridiculous right now in this market.
