A bit of sad news..

A quote from Woodhouse Chrysler:

"To all of our valued customers - Sorry for the inconvenience but, due to the overwhelming amount of orders on the PT Cruisers we can no longer keep up with the updating, as I’m sure many of you have seen. We would like to continue but, rather than supplying you with out-dated information we have decided to withdraw our participation in PT Tracker. If you would like to continue to track your order, please contact your salesman, as they will be happy to get you the most updated information available. Thank you for your understanding, and for your support of PT Tracker."

Sorry to see you go and thanks for supporting PT Tracker while you could!

Hi Everyone!
Still around just plugging along. Lots of people checking their status daily. Unfortunately, I just don't have too much time lately to actively pursue new dealers. If anyone would like their dealer to get involved they can have the dealer contact me directly via e-mail and I'll gladly get them started or give them more info.

Speaking of new dealers, if you're affiliated with a dealership and have submitted a request to signup/get more info on the Dealer Signup page of the site, I had a bit of a problem with the auto-notification and did not receive those inquiries! Please e-mail me directly at mikeyj@pttracker.com and I'll get you going!

Thanks!
Mike

Hi All!
Wow...long time no post! ;-) Sorry for the downtime. Lots going on in RealLifeTM.

So, 24 dealers with 1787 users checking their PT status on a regular basis. Pretty cool I'd say. I wish I could do more with the site right now but I guess I knew when I started this that it was going to be "on the side". I'm going to try and make a way for registered users to come in and edit or delete their record in case you change your color, e-mail, or believe it or not, ACTUALLY RECEIVE YOUR PT!!! ;-)

Well, let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to respond as promptly as possible. If you are a dealer and would like to participate in PT Tracker, please e-mail me at questions@pttracker.com.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi All!
More dealers have signed up so check the Participating Dealers page to see if your dealer has signed up yet.

Cool News: My local channel 3 news came out and did a story on PT Tracker! It was alot of fun and hopefully it will make more local PT'ers aware of the site. It will air tonight at 10PM on "The New Show". Thanks to Mike Warren and photog for taking the time to come out! I'll try to put the interview up on the site in RealVideo format soon if possible.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi All!
           Whew...sorry for the delay..."Real Life" has been hitting me pretty hard the last couple of weeks! ;-)

So here it is. Up and running. Fully functional. Check the Participating Dealers page to see if your dealer has signed up yet. If they have, you need to register then you can login and begin checking your status on a regular basis! I'm sorry about the initially small number of dealers. It's hard enough getting in touch and "selling" them (what's to sell?! It's FREE!) on it, then throw in my everyday activities and there you have the perfect recipe for a beautiful migraine! ;-)

Even if your dealer hasn't signed up yet, I'd love it if you'd still at least register, that way I can keep you up to date on things. Well, I sincerely hope that this makes life a bit easier for some of you and i'll keep plugging away at the dealer list and see if we can't start getting some more listed!

Thanks for your patience!
Mike

....gee, now if my OWN dealer would just sign up! Oh the irony of it all... ;-)

Hi All!
           Ok...we're still in the "contacting dealers" phase but I really want you guys to be able to see what it is we're talking about here. I want you to get excited about it and I want you to get on the phone and get your dealers excited too! YOU and your requests may be the deciding factor in whether or not your dealer decides to do this!

So here is a fully working version of PT Tracker for you to check out! Use 12345678 as your test VON.

Thanks! Stay Tuned!

Hi All!
           Over 700 of you and still growing! I like those numbers! ;-) I've begun contacting dealers and as you can imagine, getting dealers to agree in the first phone call is a toughie. It usually takes a couple to get the right person and get an answer. So, at this point I'm waiting for some responses from some dealers. As soon as one takes the plunge, we'll be up and running! Again, feel free to ask any questions you might have.
I'm actually having dealers contact me because a customer has asked that they be a part of this service, So I guess if you get the chance, it might pay off to mention this service to your dealer! Feel free to give them this e-mail address in case they have any questions: dealerinfo@pttracker.com.

If you haven't yet requested to have your dealer contacted and would like to do so, go here for the form

Thanks! More Soon!

Hi All!
           Whew! Still trying to recover from this weekend! Hope you all had a great Memorial day. Well, I checked the counter today and it kind of felt like a Jerry Lewis telethon..."Show me that new total!!!!". 530 as of this update! It's seeming more and more apparent that this really ought to be a "no-brainer" for the dealers. They can empower their customers to check their own status and virtually eliminate all time, money and resources associated with fielding status calls and/or keeping their customers informed of status.
I should begin making contact with dealers this week. If and when dealers begin agreeing to offer the service, the site will open and you'll be able to see what dealers are participating. At that time, the customers of those dealers will be able to begin tracking status using PT Tracker. Again, feel free to ask any questions you might have. If you get the chance to mention this service to your dealer feel free to give them this e-mail address in case they have any questions: dealerinfo@pttracker.com.

If you haven't yet requested to have your dealer contacted and would like to do so, go here for the form.

Thanks and More Info Soon!

Hi All!
           375 of you and still counting! The response has been overwhelming, especially when you stop and think that this is just the few of you who have seen the message boards. What about the other Soon-To-Be PT Owners from your dealerships? If there's was just some way to get to them... Oh well, let's just hope the dealers get the picture.
I'll be gone this weekend for the holiday but I'll return Mon. nite. Feel free to ask any questions you might have and I'll get to them ASAP upon arrival home. Again, this gives you time to smooth talk your dealer into seeing it your way regarding the ability to track your status via the Web. ;-) If you decide to do that, feel free to give them this e-mail address in case they have any questions: dealerinfo@pttracker.com.

If you haven't yet requested to have your dealer contacted and would like to do so, go here for the form.

Have a good Memorial day and thanks again!

Hi All!
           Well, in the last 24 hrs over 200 of you have signed up and requested that your dealer be contacted regarding the PT Tracker service...WOW! I just wanted to thank you again and let you know that I should start contacting dealers after the holiday early next week. This, of course, gives you all time to put a bug in your dealers ear that you'd really like to have the ability to track your status via the Web and not have to bother them. ;-) If you decide to do that, feel free to give them this e-mail address in case they have any questions: dealerinfo@pttracker.com.

If you haven't yet requested to have your dealer contacted and would like to do so, go here for the form.

Stay tuned for more info!
