Hypothetical Chrysler sweepstakes question

I've entered a Chrysler sweepstakes where the winner gets $30,000 towards the purchase of any new Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge. I always sign up for these things when I see them, but this one begs the question: what does Chrysler build that I'd want?

Let's say you have hypothetically won, so you'd need to follow the contest rules. You get to pick any Chrysler product with a sticker price of $30,000 or less. If less, you don't get to keep the difference. You have to pay for taxes/tags/etc. You're allowed to re-sell the vehicle if you so desire.

What do you pick?

I just built a Charger R/T that comes to $30, 785 (N Package RWD with sunroof) after discounts.  I suppose I'd take that.

Or a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (6-speed manual), that comes to $28,315 after discounts.

Can I get multiple vehicles?

Don't think so, but why would you want multiple Chryslers?

The sweepstakes require you to go by sticker price.

What do you want, two base-model Calipers? :lol:

If I could get a Challenger V6 with a god damn manual transmission, I might go for that.
Otherwise, the Caliper SRT-4 would work for me.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Challenger R/T and gladly pay the difference. Blue or Plum Crazy with the flat black R/T stripes.

i would opt for a dodge challenger (1st pick), dodge charger (2nd), a Jeep Liberty, perhaps... if i could add to the amount, a chrysler 300c or higher priced challenger, jeep commander or any srt-8 challeger, 300c or charger -- or perhaps a grand cherokee srt-8. i also like the chrysler aspen. you have to drive one to appreciate it -- not unlike a cadillac escalade -- SURPRISINGLY!

The rules don't allow that.

On the Dodge website, there is absolutely no way to get a Challenger with a manual transmission. That is retarded.

They might let you make up the difference after $30k. The rules aren't actually clear on that point, and I can't see Chrysler turning away your money.

You'd probably have to pay full sticker to get your $30k rebate though.

Why? I thought it was $30,000 TOWARDS the purchase of a new Chrysler.

That's shockingly challenging. I think I would pretty much have to take a Challenger SE.

You can with the V8s, but not on the V6.

Challenger R/T with a 6 speed is $30,540.  Fuck.  Well, I would take a Challenger R/T with the goddamn auto = $29,545

He stated $30K or less, but it seems he's changing his mind now.

How do I enter this thing, BTW?

They were giving out pass codes at the auto show, and they're allegedly at dealerships too. It isn't valid for NY, though.

I just figured that out, but that website makes it a real pain in the ass.

Caliper SRT-4, black, leather, sunroof, polished aluminum wheelz, Kickin' stereo, MSRP $27,835.

Challenger R/T is tempting, but I wouldn't want a car like that with an automatic.

Multiple drivers in need of multiple cars.

To your question: Wrangler Rubicon, or the last of the PTs.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I'm trying to get back to the official rules page so anyone who wants can interpret them, but the e-mail they sent me says only "See official rules at Insert Rules link Here  for details."

Ahh, Chrysler quality.

The manual transmission puts the Challenger at $30,540.

QuoteGrand Prize (1): a $30,000 allowance towards the purchase of a new Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep? vehicle.  Maximum retail value: $30,000.  The allowance may be applied towards the purchase of a single Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep? vehicle of $30,000 or less (including factory options) based on the manufacturer?s suggested retail price. 

The rules seem contradictory on the point of whether you can pay extra for extra car, no?

It's cheaper to buy this car in Canada.  The same car here is $37,580.  According to the exchange rate, the Canadian Challenger should cost $43,620.

Well, that rules out my Challenger R/T 6 speed.  I will take a Challenger R/T auto.
