Vipers had another good month with 142 sales and PT Cruiser had 11,735 sales.

Thanks to RPL. That is the exact answer... Now, we can track the countdown each month...

That really depends on the dealers. I must have contacted about 100 during the month of July to get my 2002 Yellow and still found prices all over the board and not making any sense. One dealer had a new 2000 that he wanted as much for as a 2002 yellow (go figure). Another wanted $50K for the gold one.
Most dealers are getting fairly realistic though and selling them for between $38-41K.
I have been surprised though at the number of NEW 2001's and 200's still around. These must have been the dealers hoping to get $60-70-80K for them and ended up getting stuck with them and not knowing what to do now. IMO.

One dealer still has a 1994 Viper never titled and in storage but does drive it once and awhile in parades, Etc. These stored cars will always show as stock and unsold.

You are correct. In looking for my new 2002 yellow, I found a couple of dealers that were purposly keeping 1 or 2 older ones (an orange, a mulholland, etc.) on the showroom, just as a draw.

I doubt that there are many new plymouths left as chrysler offered alot of money to the dealers to get rid of anything that said plymouth on it (including the cars - something like an $8K bonus check to move them).

I have found only 1 new plymouth but, the dealer was using it as their demo (1300 miles on it) and it was his favorite color (yellow). He also wants $40K for it (nose is scraped) which is what he was willing to sell his new 2002 yellows for (10 miles and no scrapes)
