Chrysler announces "ultimate door prize" vehicle giveaway
To help celebrate its new era of Cerberus stewardship, Chrysler has announced a giveaway. While we were thrilled to give away a Nitro during our relaunch, Chrysler will be giving away 15 different vehicles. The promotion is being referred to as "the ultimate door prize." Sadly, there is no Viper on the list. You'll be able to get the full details and learn how to enter at participating U.S. Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep dealers on August 15, which Chrysler has dubbed "The New Chrysler Premiere Event" at its dealerships. Vehicles on the list of prizes include the Chrysler Aspen, Crossfire, 300C and Pacifica; Dodge Caliber, Charger, Dakota Crew Cab, Durango, Magnum, Nitro and Ram Mega Cab; and Jeep Commander, Compass, Grand Cherokee and Liberty. You can click the "Read" link to visit Chrysler LLC's new website and find a participating dealer near you.

Wow . . . how exciting! 15 vehicles. So generous on behalf of Chrysler. You'd think they would give away a lot more vehicles since they still have huge inventories.
This promotion is worth a whole $420,000 based on the average sales price of the average vehicle in the U.S.
Why not 1 vehicle each in the Top 100 markets, where you could get some free PR in the local paper of the winner and a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer. Now that is a BOLD MOVE.

The rules state that Chrysler is not responsible for dealers that don't submit their entries in a timely fashion.
In other words, unscrupulous dealers will just be using this promotion to get your name, address and phone number so they can contact you. They have no responsibility to actually submit anything you give them.

Since BOLD MOVES is a Ford campaign, that doesnt really apply.
Since Chrysler LOST $1100 a vehicle in 2006 compared to the Japanese taking a 1500 profit, I'm not sure what more you want them to do in regards to giving you something for nothing.
I would prefer to see better product than these giveaways.

Even the people that got free Pontiac G6's from Oprah weren't happy. They had to pay the taxes on the vehicle. I'll be there. August 15th at 6:00 PM EST. Foss Motors Exeter New Hampshire. That's because Larry has always been good to me and my family. 1976 Volare Road Runner, 1984 Dodge Omni, 1985 Reliant K, 1988 Dodge D-50, and the lmost recent 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.

I would mind owning a Charger R/T.
But they are probably giving away the base model.

This sweepstakes requires me to actually go to a Chrysler dealership. I’d be willing to if not for the desperate salesmen who’d be hassling me along the way. I still might consider it. If I do win, it’d give me a chance to sell the car for a good $20K or $30K. I need the money for college.

This is simply a way for the new Chrysler execs. to get people into dealers showrooms. It's a double-whammy advertising gain. You give away cars, it's advertised and you really don't pay for the advertising except the cost of the cars. They plan to spend it anyway.

Have they had the drawing yet? I submitted mine, but now the local dodge dealership has no clue when i go in to ask who won. they are like what contest. i dont think they even turned theirs in. if thats the case and i find out for sure that the local dealership didnt turn ours in. I am going to write a story about it to the associated press and the local news. Everyone who was in the contest should have gotten something in the mail whether you won or not. nobody in this area has gotten anything.
