price paid 2005 SXT by swfeature
Aug 02, 2004 (6:14 am)
I had promised to post my price paid in an earlier posting in satisfaction category - so here it is. This car was purchased 6/28/04.
 
2005 Dodge GC SXT (stow & go) with split rear seats, dual auto side doors and electronic lift gate:
 
Vehicle price; $25,640.00
Cash price - $27,808.08 (with NYC 8.5% tax)
Rebate - $ 2,300.00
 
Total paid - $25, 508.08
 
I had no trade in. Rebate for June was $1300. I financed for 36 months 3.9% to get $1000 off. It was slightly cheaper than the 0% financing without the $1000 cash back. I like the van. Hope this info helps others do better than I did!

Coworker Just Bought 2005 GC by badgerfan
Aug 03, 2004 (7:53 am)
I haven't got into details with him as he went on vacation just after buying it, but a coworker of mine just bought a 2005 GC with Stow and Go seating and paid less than $20K (no trade in). I assume this is the price before tax title and license transfer. This sure sounds like a good deal, even assuming it is an SE Plus with no additional options, which has an MSRP of $25180.

Just got a new 2005 TC Touring model with AFF package (stow go, pwd drs, etc) plus CD/DVD, rear video and linen gold paint. List almost $30,000. Final price includes everything except state taxes $24,589. This includes $5000 financed for 60 months at 5.59 % but i plan to pay it all off without penalty in 3 months (min time for pay-off). The financing was just to get the $1000 back. So cash of 19,589.

Experience with Dealership by zgd
Sep 22, 2004 (5:46 am)
I got my 2005 T&C Touring (a great car) at a dealership in Rochester, MI. I just want to share my experience.
I set a price goal to get 2-yr lease, the sales rep and the manager both worked out a deal that was about $100 over my goal. I signed the deal that included (1) monthly payment with tax, license plate included; (2) down. Before I signed, I asked the manager while the sales stood by “Do I have to pay anything else?” He said, pointing to the paper, “No. That’s all you need to pay.”
They did not have the car I wanted when the deal was signed. Two days after, I got the delivery and signed all the papers. When I reviewed the papers in the night, I found that they inserted another item, $300 turn-in fee, not seen in the original signed deal. The sales intentionally skipped it when I signed the final papers. The day after, I asked them to reverse that. They would not.
There were a few “first” with this dealership:
1) The first time I bought a car without giving me the brochure of the car;
2) The first time I bought a car with only half tankful of gas, although they filled her up when I returned to pick up the plate;
3) The first time I heard that using credit card to make down payment was against MI state law;
4) The first time I needed to return to get the temporary license extended.

Good Price for 2004 Grand Caravan SXT A.E.? by edges_wife
Sep 27, 2004 (11:28 am)
We are looking at a 2004 Grand Caravan SXT Anniversary Edition (leather, DVD, power doors/liftgate) with 7500 miles on it. Do you think 20,000 is a good price for this? Thanks!!

Got a nice 2002 Chrysler T&C LX in private party sale by hansienna
Sep 30, 2004 (8:03 pm)
$15,000 for a nicely equipped T&C LX with less than 27,000 actual miles. First owner got a DaimlerChrysler 7 year/75,000 mile extended warranty that was transferred to me in addition to the 7 year/100,000 mile Factory Powertrain Warranty.
     This nice van had an MSRP of about $30,000 when new.

we bought a new 2004 T&C touring platinum, which is the T&C version of what you are looking at, we paid $24,000 for it back in Feb 2004, it listed for around $36,000, beautiful van
 
so for 7500 miles you save $4,000 on buying used, thats 53 cents per mile for the first 7500 miles
 
when we looked for our van the dealer had a "demonstrator" 2004 T&C limited with something like 30,000 miles on it and they were only offering 15 cents per mile for the miles or $4,500 off, I considered it to be a used van that cost the dealer 15 cents per mile to drive, I wish I could drive a new car every 6 or 12 months and have it cost me only 15 cents per mile
 
not sure of whats a good deal on a used van or not
but the "discount" you are getting for the mileage of 53 cents per mile is much better than the 15 cents per mile that we we offered from a dealer
 
good luck, we really like our van, nicest car/van/truck we have ever owned

Side Air Bags in GC SXT hard to find? by janb2
Jan 10, 2005 (8:15 am)
We walked out of negotiations today on an SXT that had almost everything..No leather, no navigation system, however it did have the sideair bags which is what I want but that van is located at a different dealer. It also had the DVD and CD 6 disc. The MSRP is $30880. They offered us $28880. We said no and left. The salesman actually came out into the parking lot and opened my door and said "wait 2 minutes, we're making a phone call"...They came back with $25995 + $250 = $26245. We said no. I was insulted that they wanted to charge $250 to "go get the van." Do you agree this $26245 is too high? I was thinking around $23K is what I would pay. The current rebate they told us about is $2000 (which brought it to the $28880) and its a 0% 60 month finance.
  
Even though the lot had many 'loaded' SXTs, not one of them had the side air bags. They could only find one SXT in the area that had that option. I would think it would be a popular option! Is there something about them I should know? My husband was eyeing the loaded SXT with leather & nav system but I said no, I want one with the side airbags, who wouldn't? He thinks I'm being difficult now

Side airbags? by hansienna
Jan 10, 2005 (8:27 am)
Since I have never met a person injured in a side impact collision, the side airbags are not a very high priority for me.
     If side air bags are important, buy the Odyssey which has side air bags standard on every 2005 model beginning with the LX which has MSRP of $25,510. Honda dealers are giving nice discounts of up to $3,000 on new 2005 Odysseys.
     I like my used 2002 Chrysler T&C LX but the driver's seat is uncomfortable whereas all Odyssey driver's seats are comfortable. The original owner of my 2002 T&C LX got a nice discount when it was new and paid just under $24,000 for it.
     DaimlerChrysler lowered their MSRP for 2005 so the vans cost about the same but with a lower discount than in earlier years.
