Another Miss Informed Dealer

[supersnake]

Have picked up a 14 GTS from a dealer here in Alberta. Picking it up on Saturday, Salesman tries his best to inform me that it has 600HP and if I want they will chip it to 640 HP. He is going to have his service manager phone me and tell me what they will do to it. I am thinking of going elsewhere to buy a car.

[VYPR BYT]

Hopefully it's just ignorance on his part and not just lying.
Should be an interesting phone call.

I'd wait to hear what the service mgr has to say and then make the decision to go elsewhere.

You gotta be kiddin' me......run away.

Just call Bill P. at Woodhouse and get 'er done!

[Steve M]

Hopefully that came with a price quote...maybe they'll upgrade it to a "police interceptor" Viper with a super dooper tweaked motor and no governor that will let you go 300 MPH while they're at it.

[ViperSmith]

I wonder how much that option is, come with pin striping too?

Uh, he lives in Canada

[Dman]

Ask him for a quote to install the Hellcat option. You might as well have fun with this, lol.

Yep, just noticed. Dang!

I would buy a bag of popcorn and watch the show. Surely the sheer embarrassment once the dealership owner finds out, will be good for a few more thousand off the final if you stick in there. Just bait the salesman to set up the meeting and then ask him to repeat the offer. You don't have to do anything but roll your eyes and sigh in front of the owner.

In the end, it does not change the car.

Ah.......some people's kids.

This is something Chrysler/Dodge should be made aware of. The salesguy is either ignorant or a crook, and neither quality is desired when building the brand up.

Buy that car!!

Talk about a rare One of One!!

[Bill Pemberton]

Love it ..................and can't wait to hear his response when you tell him the other Dealer you chatted with said if you add a chip to the new Viper it will void the warranty , so how are they getting it to 640 hp? Please ask him if it is a ruffled chip or barbecue chip , we all want to hear his next answer!!!

[ViperSmith]

found the chip

Here is the scary part, Talked to the shop foreman Who informs me he is there VIPER Tech and he is wondering if I want him to flash the computer when he does the PDI to give it 640HP. I asked him what the flash does, Answer he has no idea but it gives you 640 HP. Pretty good for a tech that took all this training. Then he comments that the guys that taught the training course did not know either.

While we're all getting a chuckle out of this, it really is pretty sad. Can't imagine what they must be saying about the Hellcats.....I'm surprised he didn't off you a Hellcat upgrade for the Viper!

[Uncle Paul]

Maybe this is a computer flash that updates to the latest 2015 version for an extra 5hp.

Came to thread looking for a laugh ---> left thread satisified

Too funny!

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

MAPLE for CANADIANS of course !!!!!

found the chip

[docwviper]

They are just as bad in the United States to trust me.

[VoodooRob]

The salesman is either real slick or ignorant to the facts. Go with your gut feeling. If you do go thru with the sale a final sales conference with the salesman, manager, and you would be good to sort it out.

[ViperGeorge]

Ask them to install the hydraulic muffler bearings too.

[Chorps]

PM me the dealership name so I can avoid them in the future...forever.

[V1P3R]

I would tell him to keep the "upgrade" so you can have the only 600 HP GenV ever made!
