so i went to the dealership tonight to check and see if my caliber was there and it wasn't, but what i did find was that there was a black sxt sport there with the red inserts as i had initially wanted, but it also had the driver convenience group, music gate, security group and a friggin sunroof.

i'm thinking these extra options would be another $2500CAN on top of my current listed price which works out to be around $80 more a month... i'm wondering what i should do...

do i...

get the black sxt with red inserts
get the yellow sxt with yellow inserts (same options as the black one)
or just wait for my order... it only has heated seats and the sport package as an option.

heeeeellllllppp??? i'm going in tomorrow to talk numbers with the guy... please help.

The Caliber has no wiggle room for wheeling-and-dealing. If you can afford the extra whack to the wallet each month, might as well go with the extras that you'll surely enjoy.

two-cents-worth ...I'd like my change back.

If you can swing the payment take the one off the lot, no waiting and it has the extras. Plus the colors you want.

Can you put down a few extra $$ for down payment to make up the difference?

I say ditto to this - PLUS what the other responses said.

AND - I doubt the dealership will have any problems selling the one that you ordered anyway, so there should be no problems on their end.

so i just called the dealership and they said the caliber i have ordered is still kzl. apparently it's still in windsor. wtf is that? the district manager is calling about it i guess. i think i'm going to go for the black one.

here's the problem with the black one, it's got the 6cd changer in it, but i was hoping i could get the base radio so i could plug my ipod into it.
i know there have been posts about this before, but i'm curious... as i've never checked this at work, but does anyone know if i'm going to need a new bezel to accomodate a potentially smaller radio??

The 6-Disc radio is the same size as the standard radio. The only radio that would require a different bezel is the (REC) Navigation Radio.

You won't be sorry! You'll be so happy that you got what you originally wanted, and there are quite a few 3rd party ways to hook up your MP3 player to the radio, and they can easily mount it in one of the "buttons" on each side of the 4-way signal button.

Have fun!!!

Pics? Driving experience? Wow factor? MusicGate likes (no dislikes I'm sure).

Come on bangman! Give us the details.

Are you happy you went with the extra features? I'll bet you are!

But we need proof!!!
