You lead with how much money you spent when your standard pavement princess pickup truck is around the same price, and you expect preferential treatment.

Unlike you, I actually use my pick up truck for hauling stuff and doing work. Go drive your POS raptor around the supermarket brah lol

A 1 hour loan is a big deal for someone giving you $60k ??

Oh, I thought he wanted a loaner to drive until his car arrived. My bad. Yeah that doesnt sound unreasonable.

Oh, no I dont want the loaner until my car arrived. That would be unreasonable. I literally want it for an hour or so to just try it out.

I mean we need a minivan so Im pretty committed to buying one; sucks theyre not doing me a small favor.

He wants a loaner of the same minivan which is a specialized 60k hybrid not a normal minivan loaner

You should really think before you post. Already got a wife and kids, the reason why I need a minivan LOL. Enjoy being single and dumb.

Fair. Just seems like you'd want to accommodate your potential buyer, but I guess I'm no car salesman

I think they know that Im going to buy the car no matter what, so theyre just blowing me off. Ive heard of car salesmen doing crazy shit to get a sale, but in todays market, its no longer necessary.

I think you made a reasonable request and if they cared about a $60k sale they'd accommodate you.

I drive a Blacked out 2022 Ford Raptor lmao. I would never blow 60k on a minivan unless I was for purely commercial reasons.

Regardless if TC buys it or not, that car won't stay on their lot for more than a week.
They don't need to do anything at this point besides bring in the car he ordered. He can test that one when it comes in.

I feel justified now to just give them a low rating to the manufacturer once I get the minivan.

Yeah if you back out they'll be able to sell it with a markup. I'm assuming you're getting it at MSRP since it was ordered

They probably want you to back out in that case lol

I'm just amazed that people still buy Chrysler in 2022.

You are supremely entitled.
I would hate to have to deal with you on either a personal or professional level.

The Charger/Challenger/300/Pacifica are decent vehicles mainly because they've been around forfuckingever so all the bad stuff has been worked out

But I think all but the Pacifica got the axe after this model year lol

Ewww a ford raptor. RAM TRX can blow that POS out the water. Plus lol @ buying a raptor; compensating for something there?

Oh god, imagine having a dick measuring contest with a TRX over a Raptor. I've seen 2 TRX - one was sold to a guy in Alberta for $130k CAD. He's never driving it.

Both vehicles are giant wastes of money.

Oh I agree. I think theyre both worthless vehicles only meant for a dick measuring contest. However, TRX is a better vehicle than a Raptor on all accounts. I dont have a TRX, I have a RAM 1500 Laramie that I use for house stuff (2x4/4x4 lumbar and plywood hauling for projects around the house, mulching, towing my John Deere tractor to go cut my parents grass, etc.).

You couldn't pay me to even drive a minivan, let alone blow 60k on one lmao

I've always been anti-minivan as well until I saw the Carnival:

I'd gladly buy one of these if it would fit properly in the damn garage. We went with a Sorento instead, both the Carnival and Telluride were just a bit too long. They'd fit, but it'd be a very tight fit

Yeah Kia has really stepped up it's game. My friend has that electric Kia vehicle and it is nice lol.

Go cry on yelp that someone told you no. I know jack shit about cars and i'd never test drive one let alone drop 60k on a car without doing it first.

I bet you walked out and they said "I bet this sucker is going to go cry on the internet about it"

Your first issue is giving business to Chrysler.
Your second one is why aren't you getting a swagger wagon?

The way the market is right now it's really hard to actually find a car and test drive it first. So you have to do all the research you can online then special order it from the dealership, then when it arrives you can finally drive it and see if you really like it and if not you just tell them "nah I don't want it" and they'll be like "aw shucks now we have to put it in our inventory with a $5000 markup and sell it within a week"

Nah. No point in complaining about this online; giving them low ratings to the manufacturer will actually hurt them.

Lets be honest, a $60k truck isn't anything special nowadays, especially when you have trucks going well into the 6 figures. If you really wanted to have your balls fondled by the dealership you need to go to a specialty/enthusiast brand, realistically.

EDIT: My buddy's jeep gladiator was 60k, for reference

No, I feel like it was a simple reasonable request, and I feel validated that it was a simple reasonable request based on people on-topic herein. So Im going to note it as such whenever I get this damn minivan.

It's already been explained that TC is in fact not being reasonable, and is very spoiled and entitled.
He simply doesn't care and wants to "hurt" the dealership for not bending to his whims.

I literally cannot find this minivan anywhere. Even nationwide, using cars.com or autotrader.com, there isnt a hybrid pinnacle model available on the lot (all the ones posted are en route).

Thank you, OP acts like he is royalty for buying a slightly over average priced vehicle. I think a Jeep Wagoneer starts out at 60k lol.

It's not really the price itself but the context. 60k is a huge amount of money for almost anyone you talk to, but a 60k porsche won't get you that great treatment vs a 40k Morgan or a 50k Lotus.

To truly get those "special" experiences where the dealers start inviting you to events, send you swag you need to either be spending supercar money, or buying into low production specialty brands.

Disagree. Porsche dealerships are known for their service, just like Lexus dealerships. I had an old used Porsche Cayenne and they treated me like a king there even with that POS.

What i mean is buying an entry level porsche won't have them sending you swag and inviting you to events. Sure they may give you good customer service when you're at the dealership, but you'll also be the lowest priority for a loaner car vs someone who's buying a GT3 with a weissach package.

Medium service at a Porsche dealership is probably excellent compared to chrylser lol.

True. I am buying top of the line minivan though; highest trim, fully loaded so I expected they would let me borrow a loaner for an hour.

Yea thats what Im learning. I never bought a Chrysler before, and Im really turned off by their dealership experience. Hell, I owned a Hyundai Genesis before (before they spun it out to just Genesis brand), and Hyundai has better service than Chrysler.

Any particular reason it had to be a minivan? It appears there are quite a few plug in SUVs that are not Chrysler.

I want to drive my kids and my parents in law around town to spend time outdoors. SUV wont work; minivan works much better for this aspect.
