Chrysler for sale

DaimlerChrysler has potential bidders for U.S. unit: WSJ - Yahoo! News

Does this mean the Dodge brand also or just the Chrysler brand and what about Jeep? Seems strange Daimler would invest so much into this company and cut it loose so quickly.

If this is REAL vs just another rumor........then it means that Daimler is looking to split off the Chrysler business unit altogether and end the Joint Venture / ownership arrangement. Dodge brand is part of Chrysler so it would most likely go to new owners as part of the deal.

Nope, not a rumor. I have read alot of articles that say GM is thinking of buying them.

You are not the only one. Apparently there is good money to be made in going broke. Check out the executive salaries and bonuses if in doubt.

A GM/Chrysler union would be a marriage that would make a Shotgun Willie's Las Vegas Drive-Thru wedding look positively classy. In the end, the biggest benefactor might be Ford.

Is that right? I thought it was the other way around.

It gets about 1MPG but it will run on almost any fuel. I'm thinking I can build a biodiesel processor and I'll be good to go! Don't need not stink'n diesel engine when you have a turbine!

Ooops. Just saw the loan terms! I'll wait until the interest rate gets closer to zero or at least more cash back! I can wait, the incentives will return!

Later,
Dan
