The soon to be terminated 789 Chrysler dealerships have all of five days to sell thousands Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models, or the damned dealers may have to eat their remaining inventory. When the termination letters went out on May 14, the pink-slipped dealers had 44,000 new cars and trucks on their lots, and there are still plenty of vehicles left to sell. Times are tough for the 789 closing Chrysler dealerships, but for customers looking to get into a new Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep, this may be the best ever time to get off the sidelines and buy.
Virginia dealer Pohanka Chrysler-Dodge is having an "everything must go" sale to try to rid itself of its remaining models, and the deals are reportedly off the charts. The dealer's sales team already moved 80 models since the notices went out, leaving a substantial 40 vehicles to be sold off in only five days. One woman, who was interviewed by CNN, received 40% off of the price of a well-appointed Dodge Nitro. The midsized SUV carried a $29,170, but she paid only $17,510. With only five days left to sell its remaining vehicles, dealer Ray O'Bryhim says he may have to discount vehicles still further to avoid losing big with unused inventory.
Since Chrysler is in bankruptcy proceedings, it isn't obligated to buy back any leftover inventory. The dealers aren't legally able to sell new Chrysler products without a franchise license, either, making the situation very dire for business people that have already lost what is in many cases their main source of income. Chrysler points out that since it hasn't produced vehicles since May 1, many dealers are hungry for inventory, and they've been buying vehicles from the soon to be closing retail stores.
