Not sure if this is a good question to ask but I just bought my R/T 2 weeks ago and I was told by 3 different dealers they were not "able/allowed" to negotiate price. I understand these cars sell themselves and they mostly work on commision but...? I did get all rear windows tinted and 1 detail pkg for buying the car so thats not too bad. They are also throwing in 3 tanks of gas. Total list price on my car with all the bells and whistles besides heated seats and u conect was 27,740 CDN. Does this sound right as far as other prices from across the country?
I searched all of Edmonton and didn't fid the car that I wanted so I orderd the car through a dealership in edmonton. My cali is black with tan leather interior (so far the only one in western canada that's black with tan leather or maybe canada) I also have the chill zone standard radio, heated seats, 24D package. I paid $20,900.
But I also paid for 3 bus trips to edmonton to pick up the car and tons of headaches

Don't go thinking your the only one with black/leather... I am looking at a Black Caliber SXT w/ tan leather, sunroof (24D Package), music gate and cruise control.
I am hoping to be able to throw in an offer of 20,000 CAD on the car (before taxes, admin fees, etc). The MSRP of the car is listed as 22,815.
Hi,
I was reading this and wanted to comment on my 07 R/T & price.
It has everything on it from tinted windows, 6 disc cd am/fm, heated seats, auto, 4w/aw, moon roof, leather seats, back cover for tail (inside), 19 in chrome wheels, the cooler in the jockey box, (I just bought the sports pedals & lock gas cap and I have a shorter antena coming), but basically the car had everything on it, they gave me a $1,200 check and also gave me the 100 thousand mile warranty and I paid in cash the total amount was: $22,000. I took the check to car toys and added another $400.00 boom system. It sounds great!!!
I had researched this car for over a year before I decide to buy one. The dealer ship tryed pulling some smack on me.. (also because I am a women)...but I didn't take it and they did KISS MY ASS!!!
I think that I got a good deal, but then sometimes I feel like I got jerked. If you think I did or didn't I would like to hear from you telling me that I did or didn't get a sweet deal.
It's pretty sweet ride. I love a lot, but I did orginally wanted the SRT4. They don't come out here until Spring. I just couldn't wait. I needed a car. I see you live in Canada. Do they charge more for the R/T? I hope that you to can get a sweet deal on yours.
Happy trails

I have a Loaded R/T 07 as well steel blue what color is yours? and yes i think you got a great deal I bought all the extra goodies from the dealer for the caliber it looks great are you sure it has 19 inch wheels I think maybe 18 Inch that what mine has I love the car I also have a 06 Magnum R/T but i drive the Caliber lots more :jok:
Well the lots here in south central Ontario have large stocks
as well,as a matter of fact several dealers have at 2-3 used
Calibers on the lots some of which are former demos,one
loaded RT/AWD in Hamilton 4000km is $24,500 according to the paper.
I got my Black Caliber AWD and RT without music gate or sun roof. The only major feature on it was the heated seats were added, since RT comes with a lot of stuff standard. I still have the single disc though which I don't regret at all. The sticker price for mine was around 21800 and I paid 19500 and that's at the Walser dealership (anyone in Minnesota DEFINATELY go there and ask for Anis...He's GREAT really looked out for what I wanted. They don't negotiate price their either it's a pretty sweet thing, every car is under sticker.
My Sticker Price was 17600 USD. The salesman said that is what you'll pay we are not going to negotiate. I said H-E-double hockey stick NO!!! I said there is a Ford Dealership down the road and I'll be darned if there isn't a Orange Ford Focus waiting for me. I told him, I WILL BUY AN ORANGE 4CYL car today from you or from the Ford dealership and left very rudely out of the front door of the dealership and slammed the door behind me for 2 reasons. 1) My friend had just bought one and payed 1500 under sticker and 2) I saw someone out of the corner of my eye at another table negotiating. Needless to say I came in 1 week later after numerous calls from the salesman and got mine 2000 under sticker including my 500 hunk of junk trade in! So I got a similar deal and didn't pay title or license, just tax. I love it!!! You have to be real mean, months and months later I asked him how much he made on the sale he said 450 bucks, yeah, that is still pretty good!!! Oh by the way it was a Sunburst Orange SXT with Fog Lights and 17" Aluminum Rims not the hubcaps.
Don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything, but I have to look out for number 1 and that's myself. Whether they are privately owned or not doesn't concern me. I am not in the business of car business, I just buy when the need arises.
I paid 21,050.00 CAD for mine, there was no haggling as there were no Calibers and I had to have one brought in. My small town has only a Ford dealer and about twice a year the closest Dodge dealer (about 75 miles away) brings up a pile of cars and trucks and sells tons. They had sold all the Calibers right off and I had to wait for mine. I wanted minimum options to keep price down so only got the 17" aluminum wheels, Yes seats, fog lights and cruise as options. The SXT comes with air and most other important options. It also came with a Sirius radio and $300.00 worth of free gas, so that should be good for a while. Now I am going to tint the windows and get a spoiler. Although why it doesn't come pre-painted in white, I'll never know. Anyways, I wish I had gotten maybe an upgraded stereo and maybe a sunroof. Non the less it's an awesome car and I am so proud to be driving it
I got mine for 22,000 CDN. It is an SXT Sport with Sunroof, Music Gate, U connect, Heated Seats (must have for most of Canada IMO). Power everything, fog lamps, the colour inset seats, manual tranny, and orange. It's a one-of-a-kind for Western Canada (prolly because of the manual). So far so good!
Sticker on my RT AWD was a few dollars under 25k usd.
Keep in mind that is fully loaded with leather, sunroof, heated seats, musicgate, 6 disc in dash cd, floor mats, chrome clad wheels and inferno red paint which you get charged extra for. I also have an interior/exterior color combination that was special order and typically not available (inferno red with tan leather)
With Tax, title , Lic and extended warranty, and no money down I financed a little over 22k. Which did include the $500 rebate as well as my DCX employee discount.
My SXT fully loaded with everything except the tailgate system was 22,500 CAD. I then prepaid all the warranty service (oil changes etc) and got undercoating as well since we had such a terrible winter here.
I got my R/T AWD for $20,900.
Sticker was 23,355, which included
Leather interior group
musicgate
6 disc
moonroof
sirius
Chrome clad wheels.
I added a 5/75 max care warranty for $829
When i decided to get the Cali instead of the patriot or compass, i had the choice of 3 units that were in stock at the dealer my brother works at.
A Khaki one (my least favorite color)
A Silver one (my second least favorite color)
The black one that i bought. Had i ordered one, i would not have gotten the moonroof or the chrome clad wheels, but they made me a deal so i took the one they had on the lot. Been happy ever since
I just realized I've never posted here. I ordered my R/T (yes, I ordered that OLD PERSON Lt. Khaki color :i_rolleyes. Sunroof, cruise (the only 2 options that were must haves) and OTD (tax, license) 18K.
I bought my 2.0 CRD SXT Plus in december 2006 price was (incl. full navigation system) 26,000 € that is aprox 36,400 USD !! on top of that in Belgium we pay a tax to get the car on the road 867 € = aprox 1,200 USD + every year we pay road-tax, for a 2 liter diesel that is 378 € = aprox 520 USD :shakehead:.
>>> My wallet was 37,000 USD lighter the first time I drove my Caliber !!! :4-looney:
Lucky for me , I am what insurance companies call a "good carefull" driver , I caused no accidents since I've been driving (1979) (touch wood it stays that way) so I "only" pay 330 € = aprox 460 USD insurance a year :i_rolleyes:. . .
Grtz.
