Actually, we kinda stumbled into that price. We weren't actively looking for a PT, though we talked about it frequently. The dealership (Town & Country Chrysler/Jeep in Portland,OR) advertised the car in the newspaper (Oregonian April 5). Base units for $11,788, Limited for $18,888, and a 'Dream Cruiser' for $20,995 (all prices after the Chrysler $1000 down payment match). Wife saw the ad in the Saturday newspaper, but I was busy and she forgot to say anything to me. Late that night, she showed me the ad . . . I told her it must be a leftover DC1. The next day, out of curiousity, we drove to the dealership, they couldn't find that specific unit - must have sold it (of course), and showed us two DC2 autosticks, for $3000 more ($23995 after the Chrysler $1000 match)!! I wandered all over the lot, and low and behold, I found it 'hiding' in the back corner. Checked the ads 'stock number' to that listed on the car, it matched, and the deal began. Salesman said they made an error, but no disclaimers were printed in the paper, or in the dealership. Bringing out my cell phone, and speaking a little loudly in the center of the showroom, I started to call another dealership listed in the newspaper, to ask if they would honor Town & Country's advertised price, and Town & Country quickly relented.

[u]Total cash out of my pocket $21995</u> (remember that $1000 Chrysler 'down payment match).
Also add $63 for title, registration, & license (no tax in Oregon), and that's it.
I thought it was a good deal, since all the other dealerships are advertising 'regular' PT GT's for $21,000.
Edited to add picture of our new lil car.
