Replying to: hansienna (Feb 08, 2007 7:53 pm) So I contacted them as stated earlier with a price from a dealer of 15,104. I included the price breakdown from that quote, and Lake Norman said they'd beat it, and quoted us 14,500 Out the door. THe last time we talked they'd offered us 800 for my mother super crappy trade in. We took it. So we come in tonight after having this new 2006 Caravan 2 days while they got everything together. We wanted no extra warranty, so we expected to pay: 14,500 for the car, OTD. - 800 for our trade in -3100 for our down payment = 10,600 financed. So we couldn't understand why they wanted 11,400. Turns out that when our dear sweet SalesWoman quoted us the 14,500 price, she was including the 800 dollar trade in. So there never was a car for 14,500. There was a car for 15,300, and after they gave us the trade in credit, the result was 14,500 OTD. Unbelievable. If the 15,300 figure sounds at all familiar, it's because instead of there being an 1100 dollar savings between their last quote (15,600) and this one (14,500) the difference was really only 300 bux. The finance guy and I argued vigorously, and truthfully had been anything less than an absolute schmuck we might have been willing to deal. But he was a jerk, with a smug attitude and a tired catchphrase "I can't change anything, It is what it is." We walked. And we will not be buying a dodge of anykind. we drove more than 360 miles in 3 trips to this dealership, and there was no way we were going to reward their underhanded dealings with even 10 cents more than we agreed on. Before we started the paperwork, I gave them a 100 dollar bill since we'd lost the title to our trade in. I just wonder if we'll ever see it again. I seriously wouldn't buy from them if they hand delivered the car and massaged our feet while my mother signed the paperwork.

Replying to: hansienna (Feb 09, 2007 10:23 am) one casualty, we left my Daughtry Cd in their van... it was just dirty because when I'd sent them the price quote from the other dealership, it showed that we were getting the car for like 14,600 + TTL and the complete breakdown, so they could see that the 15,104 number did NOT include a trade-in, so for them to just subtract our trade in from their "hidden" selling price was just so wrong.

Replying to: pathosrising (Feb 09, 2007 10:57 am) When we have talked about trading, we give the salesman the spare key to take it to Used Car Sales Manager for appraising. It is not as easy to get the key back as I would desire.

| I am in the market for a new minivan. I like the Chrysler T/C and Dodge Caravan both 6 cy short wheel base. I found several 2006 models left on the lots. I'm trying to negotiate a price. What I want to know is, have any of you ever negotiated a successful 0% financing rate without giving up the rebates? I am going to try this. Last summer I was offered employee pricing plus the 0% for 60 months. I think if me and the dealer agree on a price, Chrysler financing will give me the 0% for 60 months when we get them on the phone. I've successfully negotiated my interest rate on other items before and it works. If any of you have done this, post a message. I'll let everyone know if this works. | |

Hello, I'm in the market for a Dodge Caravan in the Nothern Virginia area. I'm not looking for any special options outside of a V6. Any info on OTD ranges would be helpful. I've been reading the previous posts in this discussion and found they've been very helpful. BTW, I bought and still have a 95 Caravan SE. Outside of replacing transmissions, I've been very happy with it. Thanks,

Replying to: manum (Mar 06, 2007 11:12 am) I'm in Georgia. Around here we can purchase a 2007 Dodge Caravan SE for $13999. That's with a 4 cy engine and no power windows and cruise. They run the ad in the newspaper all the time. I test drove one of those but wanted a little more. But still that is a super price for a brand new van. They had two new 2006 fully loaded SXT caravans that they hadn't sold. The MSRP on both was just under $25,000. I purchased one of those for $17800. I saved $7000. I love it. Hope it holds up good. I believe you might want to get the 6 cy engine instead of the 4 cy. |
