Where I live.(eastern Washington state) and also in northern Idaho..I'm seeing new, 2001 PT Cruisers all OVER the place, for sale in dealerships, some that aren't even Chrysler dealerships. There's even a dealership in Couer d'Alene, Idaho that has at least twenty 2001 PT's, all colors and all trim levels for sale, and have had, for several months now. I'm seeing base models sell for, get this, $13,900..and full-boat, every option offered, Limiteds for $17,995! Does this mean the popularity and the frenzy to get one is waning..did Chrysler fudge a bit about availability of the 2001 to get that frenzy going last year..were all of a sudden a ton more pumped out to meet the demand that wasn't really there..hmmmm. When I bought my 2001 Touring Edition last January, I was told that it was one of the last, hard-to-find 2001 models, and that if I wanted to order a 2002, I would have to wait till February, and then wait till Spring before it would be delivered. I opted to pay $500.00 over MSRP and get the 2001, then and there. I'm curious to know if other people from other states are seeing this many new 2001's for sale now, too.
