Since CF went bankrupt, dealers will have to buy there inventory or get a floorplan from another source. Then you have the issue of plant downtime. How long will it be before they receive new inventory?

Not a good time to be a dealer, IMHO.

Then - last Thursday the dealer asked me to come in and sign new paperwork. They had to move the financing to Morgan Chase since Chrysler Financial consolidated with GM and wasn't giving loans. They gave me an interest rate that was 1% lower for my trouble (7% I believe).

They called back about 7:30 last night to tell me all was good with my credit and we could wrap it up today or tomorrow, whenever I could get down to them. I get a call this morning from the internet sales manager (who is the ma I have been dealing with since the beginning). He called to say, "I think you mentioned the 0% when we spoke?". Yes, I mentioned it to every dealer I spoke to when talking price since there was also a $500 rebate for using a credit union, but I told them I would rather do the 0% for 48 months instead of the $500 rebate. He then tells me because Chrysler Financial has been told to become part of GMAC, as of last Thursday they were no longer doing the 0%! I told him no 0%, no sale, and he says he will have the district manager call me. Then, literally 30 seconds later, the dealer's sales assistant calls me because they need a little more info to finish their paperwork. Obviously I tell her she is mistaken about the deal going through.
I spoke with the District Manager who bascially told me his hands were tied and they were in "uncharted territory". They do not know what the programs will be, and Chrysler has stripped them of any real authority during this time, so they are basically there to let people vent when they are unhappy, but can't do anything to correct issues.
My real issue with all of this is: All of the dealers I spoke with never mentioned any issues with the 0%. If this was not available, then how could they have sold any vehicles to someone who wanted to finance with Chrysler on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (for the dealers that are open then) and Yesterday without being aware of this? What a bunch of idiots or liars. I am not sure which is worse. I told the District Manager I can not see how anyone would commit $30-40K of their money when they do not know what they are doing or are going to be doing. He assured me every dealer was aware of the finanacing change on Thursday. I asked him what the new programs were for this month, and he said " I really do not know". Chrysler is going down the tubes fast.
