<>Car Choice<>

My 1992 Dodge Shadow ES Sport has 425,000 k & has tended to overheat. time for a new car

My value-price choices are PT Cruiser, or Caliber.

The Cruiser is scarce on the lot in Nova Scotia. Dealers seem reluctant to stock them. Calibers are scarce because they are sold as soon as they arrive/are ordered

While I like the atmosphere of the Cruiser, the Caliber has more modern technology for usually less cost

My head rubs the roof on both cars if there is a sun roof. The basic radio on the Cruiser sounds like bad am, while the upgrades for both are heavy bass offensive.

Dealers in the Maritimes have taken a Take it or leave it!approach to sales.
They do not want to bargain or bring in what I want.

There is for example a dealer in Summerside PEI who treats the sale of an unused 2005 GT Cruiser as a new car sale.
