We understand your frustration, but please do remember the car industry is not buildings and vehicles. It's also people supporting their families. And it's not good if they're suddenly out of work en masse. And similar to what happened to the steel industry in the rust belt in the 80s, it then spirals downward to the smaller businesses that support a certain industry. I witnessed it in the Pittsburgh area.

Dodge needs to get back to basics. The average working person would love to have a basic vehicle that they can modify on their own! Dodge did make a truck back in the late 80's early 90's that was standard transmission. 5.7 hemi. Basic stereo, ac, no power search or windows or mirrors. And was 4x4. Dodge wants to make money. Make your high priced vehicles for those that can afford it. But give the working class people a vehicle they can afford and modify themselves. We all don't need all the technology.

Chrysler products have been sub-par my entire life, and I’m 43. People saw what they wanted to see the last 10 years or so, but the truth is- quality didn’t suddenly go over a cliff when the company became Stellantis; quality was pretty bad even while it was FCA, however the prices have gone so high that people simply can’t look the other way any longer on the shortcomings of these vehicles. You used to buy a Chrysler product because they were cheaper than their peers, sometimes significantly; yes they were lower quality, but you dealt with that trade off, and you got a new vehicle that offered decent value and often times looked pretty good too. That value is now long gone.

Not rocket science… IF your products aren’t selling you’ve got a marketing problem. How about cutting back on production and giving larger discounts.

Totally true

If they only make a 30% profit on these vehicles from the actual cost of manufacturing and shipping, the vehicles would be about half the price they are.

The car companies already had their big bailout years ago. If they didn't learn anything and they are bailed out again we didn't learn anything either

i bought a 10 year old Lincoln Navigator for $12,000 and im quite happy with it. the older ones aren’t overstuffed with complicated electronics and computer components, and they were built to last.

Nobody's buying now, so even if they get bailed out, nobody isn't going to buy those over price tin cans, your payment on a $100,000 vehicle is going to cost you about $1,100 a month along with your $1,700 Rent/Mortgage payments, groceries, electric bill, car insurance going through the roof. Now we have a big increase in our monthly bills, the checks dont cover all the inflation that everyone was comfortable with

I priced out a Ram back in march.. 6% interest on a $80K truck was going to be $1400/mo for I think 8 years... maybe 6... but still

Thank you for showing the true reality, The whole market is going down. I have a 2018 chevy sonic get great gas mileage and fun to drive. I will drive it until the wheels come off before I buy a new car. Its a scam and they will take advantage of anyone who buys one.

Chrysler & co have been walking dead for years. The fact that Stellantis was dumb enough to buy a hopeless case does not change that. It does not deserve a bailout. Not again.

@kylenorris9585 Ай бұрын

They should empty the lots by listing everything for 20k no matter what it is and once everything is cleared off the lot they can switch to EV. Dodge has always been a bargain vehicle so why are they even thinking they can sell anything for more than 40k. Everything is broken when you cant buy a car of any kind for a $350 payment per month.

We don't have the luxury tax here in the US, but Stellantis inventory is just as bad. People simply can't afford these vehicles anymore. I see more and more Jeep owners, instead of upgrading to a new Jeep, are just leaving the brand all together. My neighbor used to always get Grand Cherokees. The Grand Cherokee now at basically $60K, he said enough is enough. He went to a local Ford dealer and bought a brand new 2024 Ford Explorer Limited with extra bells and whistles for $47K OTD. If he didn't need all of that he could have gotten a XLT for $34K OTD. He said he actually likes the Explorer better anyways.

Remember it's what they are asking... you don't have to pay that price.. you can make them an offer.. it's a yes or no.. if no walk out .. eventually you will get what you want for what you want to pay..

I went to two CDJR dealerships yesterday because I'm thinking of getting into car sales as a career. I also want a RAM so I was partially window shopping. Both lots full of Jeeps. New 15's and 25's just sitting. Pretty much almost all the used cars are gone. Not much traffic going through the dealerships either. Terrible prices.
