Thanks for the advice--much appreciated. Am I correct in saying that anything under the EP is coming out of Dealer Holdback or something similar?

yes, you go right into their profit on the vehcile. Which is pretty slim under these programs to start with.

Traded my upside down, 05 touring loaded with leather, 89500 miles on it, no problem witht e car, just a bit slow for a 07 AWD with the 4.0, 5 seats, and Sirius, dealer wanted to move the car so I got it for $19k (as equipped - $6k off). I think i did alright. The new car is a lot quicker than the 05 was - way, way more nimble feeling. And i can actually see behind me now as the blindspiots are not as bad as they were with the 05. The Dealer offered me a wraparound Chrysler warranty for the life of the car for $1895, but i decied against that - I don't know what I was thinking, I probably should have taken it. Maybe I can still get it - anyone think it is worth it?

That is an incredibly cheap price even for a base AWD....holy cow. I wonder if the deal looks as good as it does because of your trade, though. You mentioned you were upside down on your trade. Dealer could have given you more on the trade, but less off on the car if you follow me. Always hard to "read" or compare a deal whenever a trade is involved.
I paid around $28k for my Limited AWD...have a sticker of $36k just as a comparison.
BTW, $1800 for a bumper to bumper lifetime is insanely cheap! I paid a bit more then that to get a 7 year, 100k warranty, but it also included all my oil changes. They wanted $4300 for the lifetime but I know the prices are somewhat based on MSRP.
The warranty issue is a bit tough to compare too as Chrysler has many different packages. Some with no deductable and some with large deductables.
If you keep your cars, that warranty may be worth a look. Ask youself this question:
"If your '05 had that warranty would have traded it anyway?" If the answer is yes, then pass.

Yep they were really trying to get me to take the car. We just bought a 2008 Town and Country from them a few days ago so they were being quite generous I thought for an 07 on the last day of 07, so I kept indicating i was gonna leave and the deal kep gettng sweeter and sweeter. When I saw the final paperwok, the dealer had dropped the price of the car and upped the trade. They even agreed to put in Satellite in the T&C LX for free if I bit on the deal. If my 05 had that warranty, I probably would still have trade it in for the newer car as I think I bought the 05 a bit high. It had 22k on it and it was a rental car. but it was perfect and I added satellite and the DVD system myself with factory parts. I also was in the process of adding Navigation until I for to replacing the body harneess and just stopped cold. I still got all the parts except the body hardness (and now the NAV DVD player as I forgot to pull it from the 05) and dunno what I will do with them. I also have 5 19" wheels and just did not put them on. i might sell them on eBay - dunno yet.
So I think I recovered, and I hope the 07 is as dependable as the 05 was. But I keep thinking about that warrranty and may reconsider today!. If I do, I hope they let me do it still. A discontinued car with a full wrap around warranty might be the ticket - too bad it does not transfer. Then again, I kept the 05 for almost 3 years and then suddenly traded it in? So unless I kept this car for 5 - 7 years, I don't know if it worth it - or maybe I am being a bit too cheap? i got the tire warranty though but it is only 5 years. The one on the 05 was half as much as was lifetine on the vehicle's tires.

2007 FWD Touring

How does this sound for a new 2007 Touring model with T package - (leather, 6 cd, power liftgate, etc)
msrp - 30,300
invoice - 27,118 (+730 dest)
$21,000 +tax and tags otd
It looks good to me, but I can no longer find a source of info for incentives on 07 models. certainly quite a bit cheaper than a similarly equipped 08, less than Edmunds TMV for a retail used 07 model, and then there's the powertrain warranty.....

Just traded my 2007 base awd in for 2007 touring with 10k on it. I got a cheaper monthly payment and only owe 1k more than my original loan. So I got all my desired upgrades without the hassle and expenditure.
