When went shopping for our PT we hadn't even decided on a car and the salesman asked what we would consider to be a good deal and I said $300 over invoice. He was to quick to say yes which makes me think that I could have done better. We did buy one at $300 over.
We could not decide on the Dream or Electric Blue GT so the dealer gave me copies of the invoices to bring home to think it over. I just could not bring myself to spend an addtional $1600 just to get the tangerine paint and numbered plate on the dash and went with the Electric Blue. I recomend you go for thr $2500 rebate over the low financing. I had a pre-approved blank check through work for 4.39% and the dealer was able to beat that through a local bank with 3.5%.
Also, check with your work or bank to see if they have any kind of arrangement with Chrysler. I just found out two weeks after getting the car that work had a deal through the "Chrysler Affliate Rewards" program that would have allowed me to buy the PT at 1% below invoice and still get the rebate. I have called Chrysler and have sent me back to the dealer to work out getting the deal ($500 is $500).
