I live in Upstate NY...thats NOW WHERE NEAR NYC!!!! Anywhere in the Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Elmira, Jamestown area would work for me...

 

our first caliber was this one minus a few options...which can be added on..sold it within 1 hour after it came off the truck...havent seen it back yet for anything ...we have a blue one and i think black...both automatics and very sweet..call jim green at hamptons dodge in elmira new york..607-733-9108..tell him buster sent ya..he will take care of ya...

 

Actually I did call them earlier this month with I was playing Caliber Roulette and the guy I talked to was arguing with me saying that you can't get daytime running lights on it in NYS when every other dealer would let me. Sorry to say, but they were the most unfriendly people I've talked to out of anyone in this area and didn't seem like they knew **** about the Caliber at all. I don't remember who I talked to exactly so I can't say for sure, but I don't know if I'd ever buy a car there.
You don't have what I want. If its not exactly like I've specified above, then I don't want it. I won't settle for anything less! (expect the things I said I could live without) I'm not going to spend $20000 on a car that only has half the options I want.

I ordered mine through Dansville DCJ in Dansville, NY. These are the most friendly people you could buy a car from, they give great deals, and I know that they're not going to throw all kinds of crap into the contract and hide it that I don't want like my local dealer (Simmons-Rockwell) does. So in other words, I can trust these people and just the way Hamtons Dodge came across to me, I don't think I could trust them, especially after you're saying they're selling Calibers thousands OVER invoice!!! To me, thats a bad way to do business and all they're doing is padding their pockets. They already make approx $1000-$1200 off each Caliber they sell just by selling it at the sticker price. Sorry if this is offending to you, but thats just the way whom ever I talked to came across to me...

 

I spoke to a salesman on the phone a few weeks back while inquiring if there were any Calibers on his lot and he mentioned something I found pretty interesting (but just not sure how true it is)...

He told me that while at some sort of regional training, they were told that for Caliber Orders/production that the stand-alone dodge dealerships will be first in line to receive their orders, over and ahead of the "Superstores"... the so called Dodge-Jeep-Chrysler dealers (which is where my car was ordered from). The logic as explained to me is that the DJC dealers have other vehicles to sell, while the Dodge Dealers are technically at a loss due to the departure of the Neon.

Can anyone out there confirm or deny this?

 

I've heard so many stories I don't know what to believe anymore. My dealer got allocation for 3 Calibers in April and they were all filled immediately. 2 of the Calibers were customer orders and 1 (Caliber R/T) was a stock order. All 3 Calibers came in and the Caliber R/T sits on the lot. So all 3 were made and delivered in about a month and the 2 customer orders were fill and they already have their Caliber. They are a CDJ dealer, though a small one. They only have like maybe 20 vehicles of different models on the lot.

 

it actually started when the pt's came out. my dad was a manager at a local chrysler chain, they were gone before they even hit the lot, and the wait on them was 6 months for the entire first year they were out. now they cant give the damn things away
