We've heard a former car dealer friend of ours describe selling unloved vehicles like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/dodge/caliber/">Dodge Caliber</a> as "a thankless task," but apparently she wasn't altogether correct. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> has begun taking dealer orders for its much-anticipated <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/dodge+dart">2013 Dart</a>, and allocations of the sedan will depend in part on how many units of the hapless Caliber the franchise managed to shift <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/24/dodge-caliber-euthanized/">before the model was axed</a>. That's according to dealer sources, <em>Automobile News</em> reports - Chrysler officials won't let on how they decide to disburse the Dart to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/dodge">Dodge</a> dealers.<br />
<br />
<em>Automotive News</em> also says that while Chrysler previously said the first Dart models will be in showrooms by the end of this month, it turns out those will just be dealer demo models (though those units can be sold). Non-demo cars aren't expected to show up until the end of July or early August. If you've been waiting on taking delivery of a new Dart of your very own, you probably have a bit longer to wait, so you might as well head over to Dodge's website to check out the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/23/2013-dodge-dart-sample-configurator-goes-live-prices-not-finali/">Dart configurator</a>, which now has final pricing.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/12/dodge-dealers-dart-allocations-depend-on-how-many-caliber-model/">Dodge dealers' Dart allocations depend on how many Caliber models they sold</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 12 Jun 2012 14:15:00 EST.
