Greetings, everyone. I currently have a 6-seater crossover, whose lease runs out in March. We have to purchase a minivan. My choices: Toyota Sienna (Sorry. Everyone in my family owns an Oddy!). 2nd: Honda Odyssey. 3rd: Chrysler Town & Country. The best price for an '09 Odyssey EXL with RES & NAV seems to be $34-35k. I don't want to get an '08 because the $4-5k I save in purchase price will be offset by a higher depreciation. (Please feel free to comment if you disagree with this theory.) So ... I walked into a local Chrysler dealership today. Received an excellent service. They are offering me a Touring with package 25L (leather, dual DVD screens with independent players, navigation, power-fold 3rd row, stow-n go), with MSRP of $37.1k for $27.9k + TTL. Maybe, if I was to go back and twist their arms (have a 2nd degree referral for the GM), they might go down by a bit more. Plus they are taking the lease off of my hands ($450/month) two months earlier. So, finally, here's my question: Get an '09 Chrysler for $28k, or get an '08 Honda or Toyota for the same price? I'd be eagerly awaiting response from some experienced buyers on this forum. Thanks.

Replying to: nm_socal (Dec 28, 2008 10:01 pm) I don't get this reasoning. Basically, Honda has taken most of the upfront depreciation OUT of the 2008 by means of the generous incentives. Driving off the lot, your 09 is going to take a bigger percentage depreciation hit than the 08, I believe, simply because you're paying much closer to invoice on the 09 than the 08. |

Replying to: nm_socal (Dec 28, 2008 10:01 pm) other than pricing I would also check out the realiability, test drive personal feeling, layout and ratings, then weigh on them according to my priority. |

Replying to: nm_socal (Dec 28, 2008 10:01 pm) I just don't have a lot of faith in Chryslers. Chrysler may be offering you a heck of a deal, but the overall quality would be something of concern to me. Check JD Power, NHTSA, etc. I thought the crash rating for the Chrysler was not as good as the Honda. What you can also do is compare the vehicles. Toyota website will allow you to compare 3 or 4 vehicles. Hope this helps. Dave |

Hi, I live in Bay area. I am thinking to buy a 2009 EX-L. I have a few questions: 1. How much should it cost - with and without GPS and DVD - both. 2. The salesperson said that avoid the ones with DVD player, since with blue-ray in market, the current in-built DVD player will get obsolete soon. Is this true ? 3. They are offering 1.9% APR for 3 years financing. Is this a good scheme ? Any help appreciated. Thanks! |
