Dreamer 2

[PT2NV]

Just purchased my Dream Cruiser II on April 6. So far we really like it. Haven't activated the Sirius yet, but the 1-yr free subscription is nice. Looked in several places for a 5-spd in stock, finally found one, and got a GREAT price.

I also agree it looks better than the DC I, and now the mods begin. Eibachs (Tire Rack seems to have the best prices), then rear sway bar (since mine is without).

I love the interior orange! Bought mine (#592) a week prior to Mets opening day at Shea. Most people thought I had it customized to make my Mets-mobile complete!

Just curious PTNV, are you will to share what your great price was? On edit, I saw your other post... Great deal! How'd you manage such a great price???

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.

Good for you. My wife and I called Beaverton Chrysler about a GT advertised for $19,995 in the Oregonian and were told it was still there. We went to the dealership and after we were there awile (we had threatened to walk out twice because of the price and payments) the sales manager told us that the car was no longer there. He apologized and said we would have to order another one at that price and it would take four months. We were really upset and got up and walked out and lo and behold as we were headed for our car a saleman drove up with the advertised GT. We were told they thought they had sold it, but they found it "out back". We got the price and the payments we wanted.

We too got a great deal on our 2003 Electric Blue Turbo. I got a price from an Oregon dealer and our dealer here in California matched it. It's great being a two PT family!!!!
