My neighbor also works for Chrysler. So how does EP work? Can the Employees get EP for friends & relatives?

The employee only gets two actual employee price pin numbers. As far as the employee choice price, a higher level employee price still below invoice, i think that they can give all the pin numbers they want out. Ask your neighbor about it. You have any comment on my post?

What is a reasonable profit for the dealer? They are also taking in my trade about another $2,000 for them.
I hope to buy on Saturday.

 
Well, 2 things. First is that "reasonable profit" can be interpreted in so many ways. Personally, on a car like the Pacifica, I would leave no real profit if possible. That means either flat invoice minus any incentives/rebates, or even dipping into holdback. If your EP is already below that number, then I think that's more than reasonable.
 
2nd, you can't necessarily assume a $2k profit for them on your trade. They may not keep it. If they send it to auction, they will probably make nothing on it, if they give you fair value.

07 Signature Employee Offer by mr_anton89

07 Pacifica Signature FWD
 
MSRP: $33,495 (Options on Moonroof and Floor Mats)
Employee Price: $29,760
Rebates:
$2,500 - In Lieu of APR
$1,500 - Wrangler Lessee
$1,000 - None
$500 - Lessee Dealer Cash
$500 - None
----------------------------
Dealer offer of $23,760
 
Holdback is $983
 
Should I haggle anymore on this deal, they say you can't but with previous experience I have. Or is this deal good and I should be happy with it?
They are a large volume dealer and have 80 Pacificas, with three of these Signature models left which all are marine blue. There are more in my area.
 
Do you think now is the time to buy, or should I wait another month and hope for 0% for 72, or wait a little more for the 08's which will soon have the same amount of cash on the hood?
 
Thanks again.

Well, I may be wrong, but I believe you won't see that kind of trunk money on the '08s while there are '07s on the ground.
 
Personally, I think $10k off is fantastic and you should bite. They may dip into the holdback to get the deal done, but I wouldn't do it if they've been pleasant to deal with.

Thanks for your input. I'm financing for 72 months and I would hate to buy now and then have 0% or even 2.9% rates come out. Chrysler knows they have a ton of these Pacificas out there. Its a gamble.

ouch! Even with the deep discounts, I wouldn't finance this car for 6 years. The depreciation is pretty brutal, so you will be upside-down for a LONG time at 6-year financing.
 
Anyway, its very very rare (if ever) for a manufacturer to offer huge discounts on top of low financing. So while a financing deal may come up, chances are it won't be $10k off sticker, as you have gotten.

Right now the special finance rate is 4.9% for 72. Its cheaper to go through capital one at 6.99% and then get the $2,500 rebate instead.
 
So my thinking is that maybe they will lower the APR and still have the $2,500 attached to it. August is when the firesale rebates hit and I don't want to miss those.
 
I have no choice but to go with the 72 month. I was looking at used values and with the 10k off that puts me in a good spot for resale. I'm not really too worried either as I plan on keeping this vehicle for a while.
 
In your opinion should I buy now or wait and see what next month holds. The incentives can only stay the same or get bettter right?
 
Thanks for your input.
 
Also, I was going to see if my dealer could write up the papers as a sale for this month and if they improve we could just redo the paperwork.

i don't really want to say you should wait. When we got ours 2 years ago, the prices actually went up a week after we got our deal. You just never know.

BOUGHT IT!
 
Signature FWD Moonroof and Floor Mats and dealer added "free" chrome rims. I'm not sure how they got on there - got a line of oh i pulled up the wrong one and its not on the window sticker. Anyways.
 
PT with payoff of 6033.17
Taxes of 6.5%
All fees and whatever else they came up with.
OTD for $27,300.
 
I figured it out to be $26,450. So given that I'm still convinced that my PT is worth $5,200 and that price was figured with that I think I did alright. Figure that the $26,450 is at a $5,200 T-I, that difference means I got $4,300 for my o1 pt with 96,000 miles.
 
I think I got a pretty good deal.
 
Purchased at Brunswick Auto Mart.
