09 Honda Odyssey vs Chrsyler T&C by pk71

Hi
I am looking at my first minivan purchase. I am getting a deal for Chrsyler T&C touring with dual DVD system for $23300+tax. I am also getting a deal for Honda Odyssey EX for around $23500+tax (at least thats what the dealer said over the phone and email). Kinda confused which one would be better. I am interested in long term low maintanence quality vehicle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those are some very good numbers badtaamiz_2000. What is the name of the dealership that quoted you these prices.
 
Also I read in one of the posts that the incentive in May is going to be $3000. SO should I wait or pull the trigger?

I'm in the same boat you're in - looking to save some $$$ as well as "buying American".....My concerns with the T&C is long term quality along with the viability of Chrysler LLC.
 
Chrysler mini-vans have had a pretty good rep for some time - however it's hard to say how they stack-up against the Odyssey/Sienna...Consumer Reports bash Chrysler products, but then again they seem not to notice/acknowledge the past Odyssey transmission woes, nor the Sienna side doors falling off either so I tend to take what Consumer Reports say with a grain of salt.
 
Over at the Chrysler T&C/Dodge Caravan board the folks there seem pretty happy with their 2009 vans; gives me some hope that they're building quality products - even if the company is on the verge of going under.

Exactly. The user board reviews are reasonably good. However edmunds report as well as consumer reports are not so good. The key thing I'm getting fully loaded T&C with rear view camera, Dual DVD system, etc. Comparitively Odyssey EX looks like a strip down version with no rear view camera, DVD, etc. Hope some experienced users of the board can throw some light.

Even though the loaded-up T&C appears to be a "steal" when compared to the Odyssey - how much of a "steal" is it if/when the little added electronic gizmos like the dvd player aren't working, and there's no warranty to fix it (I'm skeptical about the Feds covering the warranties of Chrysler/GM).
 
That said it still might be worth it to give the T&C a try since Honda/Toyota may decide to pull the rebates/incentives/financing sooner than later.

Don't include Sienna with Odyssey when comparing with a Chrysler. The Odyssey is GREATLY Superior to the Sienna in quality and low depreciation. Siennas depreciate as fast as Chryslers.
 
I have compared an Ody EX-L with a Sienna XLE and Chrysler T&C Limited. Here are the quotes:
 
Ody EX-L MSRP $ 33,825 quote $ 28,125.
 
Sienna XLE MSRP $ 33,448 quote $ 31,448.
 
Chrysler T&C Limited $ 40,570 quote $ 28,570.
 
However, the Chrysler T&C Limited was sold before we saw it. The Toyota salesman called me 2 days later to tell me they could "sharpen their pencils" but I told him to forget it because their initial quote is NOT competitive.

Hey
Thanks for the Toyota Sienna info. I didn't know that the Sienna depreciated so fast.
 
Good point by michael regarding the gizmos not working. Also as a sub for the DVD players, I was thinking about buying 2 portable DVD players for the second and third rows $100 each. Basically some gizmos can be replaced with other things but not the basic quality of the vehicle. I'm worried that the T&C will start giving problems in 3-4 years. I plan to have the van for the next 10 years or so.

SoCal Honda EX-L by nylaplus3

Just bought a 2009 EX-L, no RES, no NAV.
 
OTD was 30,077.84. Price before destination fees, taxes, license fees was 27,200.
 
Also, financed at 3.9% thru Honda.
 
I guess the manager wanted to meet a quota because no one else in the area could come close.
 
Good luck, All!

Shouldn't 27,200 w/o destination charge be a very fat price from dealer already?
Come on, if it's really because of quota, they need to offer these:
LX 21,000 + TTL
EX 24,000 + TTL
EX-L 27,000 + TTL
EX-L w RES & NAV 30,000 + TTL
Touring w/o PAX 33,000 + TTL
Otherwise, tell the dealer, see you in the year end.
Hopefully, they are still alive by then.
