Is this a good deal? or should we try to negotiate further? 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT MSRP - 29,625 includes side air bags in all 3 rows, tow package and rear parking assist We were quoted 24,226 (this includes a 2,500 rebate and employee pricing). Also has anyone heard if the rebate will be changing next month? Thanks in advance for your input!

I got employee pricing in June+$4000 rebate+$750 owner loyalty rebate for already owning a 1996 Caravan. If you are willing to wait even closer to the end of the model year, the prices on remaining 2006's are likely to get better, but with less choices on the lots. |

Replying to: hansienna (Aug 23, 2006 6:29 pm) I don't think I could have done much better at any other dealer, $19,555 before TTL for a GC Caravan SE that with some options that MSRP was $26,640. I see my previous post was in error by $99, which was a somewhat questionable fee they added, but even then it amounted to a good deal, so I did not protest much about it. |

Model Info: 2000 Chrysler Town & Country LXi with All-Wheel-Drive (includes 3.8 liter V-6 engine and 4-wheel disc brakes), 29Y Package (includes leather interior, power seats, Infinity stereo system, alarm, 16” aluminum wheels, roof rack, various convenience groups, etc.), Heated Front Seats and Trailer Tow Group. Price paid in March 2000: $32,276 + fees and tax. Edmund’s trade-in value in August 2006: $ 4,000 (almost 90% depreciation over 6 years). Strengths: Slightly “upscale” interior (compared to other minivans), room to comfortably seat seven adult passengers. Weaknesses: POOR RELIABILITY, UNDERPOWERED (3.8L V6 engine), POOR FUEL ECONOMY (13.4 MPG observed over 6 years of driving). Summary: My wife has driven this minivan for 99,000 miles and it’s literally falling apart. The exhaust manifold cracked and needed expensive replacement at just over 70,000 miles. The car leaked transmission fluid for almost 2 years (never properly diagnosed or repaired by the dealer). The engine currently sounds like a poorly-made sewing machine. This vehicle has been in the shop 8 times in the past 6 years (for other than routine maintenance). In contrast, my 2000 BMW has only been in the shop 3 times (for minor repairs) over the same 6-year period. My wife is currently looking for a new vehicle and we haven’t even considered buying another Chrysler product. We expected much more from a vehicle that costs over $30K. We’ll probably end up purchasing a much more reliable Japanese brand holds its value longer. I hope “Dr. Z” is improving the reliability of his newer vehicles!

Replying to: ol06 (Aug 26, 2006 7:43 pm) If you buy a Japanese brand, you will get fewer nice features and pay more money than for a T&C or GC. My lowly 2002 T&C LX had more nice comfort items and was quieter on the highway than my 2006 Sienna LE. DEPRECIATION ? My 2006 Sienna LE had MSRP of over $ 27,000 and trade in value 4 months later with only 3000 miles had dropped to $ 19,000 which is almost 30 % in just a few months. I would have dumped the Sienna had the resale value not dropped so drastically.  My daughter has a 1999 GC SE that has over 90,000 miles and all it has required is routine maintenance. My 2002 T&C LX had to have the driver's side power window fixed when it was almost 4 years old but that is all except routine maintenance. |

Replying to: fish8 (Aug 28, 2006 6:32 am) The customer incentives offered at that time were a cash rebate OR 0.9% financing for 60 months. Chrysler seems to be offering better deals now... Maybe they're not getting many repeat customers.
