Aren't You afraid that you will be killed by depreciation and a possible bankruptcy or worse liquidation of Chrysler?

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon has been on my wish list. 4 doors...I can haul the family around in that, plus take the top off. I wonder what deals they'll have on those. If I got one of those then I'd want to spend another $2k+ in tires, wheels, lift, bumpers, etc etc...

Dave, My daughter bought a new Jeep Wrangler last year, two things; taking the top off=fun, putting it back, nots so much. And if you are used to driving any vehicle with a nice smooth ride, the Jeep will get old after a short while. On the other hand, if using in the snow, or off road, or actually just getting somewhere, when you need 4 wheel drive, it is great. And it is fun to drive. My two cents.

And by the way, I have bought three new vehicles in last three years from Dodge, not including the Jeep, and the least I got off the sticker, was around 5000.00, while the other two where 11000.00, and 12000.00 on Limited Durango.

Drywall - No offense but three new cars in three years??? That can't help if you are tight on money.. The wife and I buy used and they are all three 100% paid off and they hardly depreciate once we get them & they look like brand new. Do your bank account a favor and save yourself thousands by buying used. Keeping up with the Joneses is OK only if you can pay cash to do so.

Chrysler in its current form is at best 50/50 to survive..

If the Fiat deal goes through they may make it..

Always remember, there is no free deal, big discounts also mean HORRIBLE resale value. You can however get a deal on a used one.. Chrysler product is the weakest of the major manufactures, both in design and quality..

Hopefully a deal will be reached to save Chrysler as my partners both own Chrysler Corp dealerships..

If Chrysler goes buy-buy, you can most certainly count on the Jeep line surviving and probably Ram trucks in some form. Nissan is already contracted to sell a reskinned version of the Ram in 2010 as a Titan and could conceivably just buy out the line?

The cars will probably disappear as no one wants them anyway.. One thing for sure 2009 will be a interesting year. (not in a good way)..

Yes Cousin Eddie, and I paid cash for two of them, I keep explaining, it's not for me I post, guess everyone here just knows better. On the other hand 2008 was not a very good year for me either. Hope it changes for all American's soon.

Hey that's great for you then. I see people all the time that just have to have that new shiny car with the $500 a month payment then bit*h about not being able to afford anything else.

Jeep not a family car. Short wheelbase make good 4wd, lousy, bumpy ride.

Chrysler Imperial, that's a car!

JadeRose,

In fact, when Daimler "merged" with Chrysler, Chrysler was doing quite well. Most in the industry (I was running a Dodge Dealership then) believed it was a BAD marriage from the beginning and blame the Germans for the failure.. It was a marriage made in hell, 2 companies that operated totally different in both culture and markets..

Daimler killed Chrysler and shoulders most of the blame for the current situation...

Ummmm....no.

I once had a Dodge Daytona and a Jeep Cherokee. That was enough for me.

Potts,

I owned a PINTO for begebezzes sake, and don't hold it against Ford!!

Of course buying any domestic brand right now is not a particularly smart move...

I'd buy a Ford.

I'd also buy a Malibu or Impala. I know people who have those, and they like them quite a bit.

I drove a Kia Sportage (?) while I was in Oklahoma. That's a vehicle I don't think I'd purchase.

#18....I too would buy a Ford. The Flex looks like an awesome vehicle and Ford is the only company that seems to be holding it's own. I say reward their good stewardship by buying from them.

Maybe their cars are too good. My 99 Crown Vic runs great and looks like it did when it rolled off the showroom floor.
