Dream Cruiser 2

[heart_of_dixie]

Thanks for the replies, and good luck to all who want one quickly! Y'all absolutely DO NOT know what torture it is to be cruiserless. I never knew I was such a snob, till I had to start driving my sister's 12-15 y/o mazda mx whatever. I almost cry everytime I see a white cruiser. Anyway.... BAMADREAMER-- what dealer did you use? Ours here in Decatur sucks royally. They are not even 5-star rated and they have been here for years. I am thinking of trying our club sponsor in Jasper, figured I could trust them.

H_o_D,

I used the one out of Montgomery. (no good either..imho)

I believe the one in Jasper should be your best bet to give a try: being State sponsor of AL Club.

I got my best price quote from Bice in Alex City (which I used in Montgomery to get the deal). There is a dealer 15 miles from me who I would not deal with even if they were the last Chrysler dealer in the state. My recall work was done with the non 5-star dealer in Opelika (worked out very well for me). If I had to do it all over again I would probably have gone to either: Alex City or Opelika.

Good Luck & I hope you'll be cruzing again for long!

my dealer said. "We'll be lucky if we get dream cruiser series 1 in next year." So my guess is DCS2 will arrive in Slovenia 2005 or 2006 if it arrievs here at all.

A new question.....all of the dream 2 cruisers are going to be turbo aren't they? Any ideas on a price range? Also, the turbos don't have to be stick shift do they?

The DreamCruisers are pretty much a package deal. The only true options are choice of transmission and a block heater.

The DCS2's will all be Turbos with the spoiler (etc.). I imagine, like with the DCS1's, manual transmissions will be rare. I actually ordered mine from the factory...

As far as availability, I would expect the same thing as the DCS1s. Five star dealers will each get 1 (then you'll get your phone call and will need to beat everyone down there). After that I would expect that all dealers will get one (or more) based upon their sales allocations. At that point you would probably be able to order one.

The DCS2 is pretty high priced, roughly $3000 more than the DCS1s

DCS1's "manufacturer's suggested retail price of $23,170 for the manual transaxle version and $23,995 for the automatic transaxle version "

DCS2s"The U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for PT Dream Cruiser Series 2 will be $26,475 for the manual transaxle version and $26,915 for the automatic transaxle model." What's interesting is usually the AT is about $700 - $800 more. It may be that they are hitting up the manual version with a premium for the GETRAG tranny they they will have versus the regular manual PTs (and DCS1).

Who knows what markup the 5 stars will be looking to get on the first ones.

There will be no trade-ups from Dream I to Dream II over here.

I'll be sticking with my Inca Gold Dreamer too! We just love it

Good Luck, Steph, with your health as well as getting a new ride ! We hope you'll be cruizin soon again & hopefully in a Tangerine!!!

I have already given my name to my dealer, and he is going to let me know when I can order the car.

Guess what I am trading in for this baby? A 1998 Honda Accord Coupe EX-V6. A really nice car, but it is getting old, and the new Accord does not attract me at all.

You gotta love the tangerine pearl color on this car!

Order it, as I said, and go for the manual tranny. That will be a true collector's item and a blast to drive. If I didn't love my PT Rod so much, I'd be tempted to go for one of those tangerine turbo five-speeds.
