#41 of 181 Help! to buy Caravan SXT but have question re: test driving.. by sol2 Jun 15, 2005 (1:19 pm)
Hi, I live in S.E. Florida.   1. Most dealers ask for my license, make a photocopy-before I can test drive. One dealer said it was for "insurance purposes." Is this standard norm? I am concerned about I.D. theft. Any suggestions? What's the legality if any of dealers requiring license and keeping a copy?   2. In terms of rebates/incentives etc. is this deducted from the MSRP, Invoice, or negotiated price?   I'm new at buying a new car. So any suggestion is appreciated.

Replying to: sol2 (Jun 15, 2005 1:19 pm) 1) yes, that is very common when test driving cars. Not only is it for insurance purposes, but also provides the dealer with identification if for some reason they never see the car your test driving again....   2) On Chrysler/Dodge products, rebates or incentives are usually deducted from the invoice price, not sticker/MSRP. This is the norm when dealing on a Grand Caravan or T & C. It was the situation when we bought our '05 T&C. Also, depending on the dealer you work with, you may have to negotiate in order to get the best price. The dealer I worked with was very straight forward, but not all are.   Good Luck!!

Replying to: fish8 (Jun 16, 2005 4:22 am) Hello all, I am new to the forums. I found this forum while "shopping" for our new DCG.   We ended up getting the 2005 DGC SXT without any added options. Price paid was 21,350 before my trade or downpayment. I don't think I could have gotten better. What do you all think? Replies to this message: dennisctc (Jun 21, 2005 5:45 pm)

Replying to: trebuchet (Jun 21, 2005 11:13 am) Sounds good!!! I got a little more due to employee pricing from a DCX friend. But even without that, you can't beat a DGC SXT - just like mine

Replying to: sol2 (Jun 15, 2005 1:19 pm) Yes, it's a standard practice. Be aware though that dealerships will also often run a credit check on you using the info from your drivers license. When the dealership requests your license in order to take a test drive tell them you do not authorize them to run a credit report. Show it to them but do not allow them to make a copy. If they ask you to sign something to take a test drive, insist that the credit check authorization clause be taken out. Be sure to read it as well.   According to the Federal Trade Commission, credit reports may be obtained without the customer's express permission only if the customer is initiating the purchase or lease of a car and wants dealer financing or is writing a personal check.

Replying to: timbo22 (Jun 21, 2005 9:38 pm) Just to add on this....here in Ga they do not put your SS# on your license anymore. This gives the consumer a little protection from unwarranted credit checks.
#47 of 181 leather or no leather by ro22tol Jun 22, 2005 (10:56 pm)
I know this has been talked about numeous times, but I would like some recent experiences with DC leather. I am going to buy a 2005 GC SXT within the next month. My last two new GC's (92 and 00) both had cloth, and we have been happy with the quality and wear. The van I am looking at has leather, and we are just unsure about it. For almost $3,000 is it worth it? I have also read that some are not impressed with the leather in the 05's.   Thanks for any input! Replies to this message: fish8 (Jun 23, 2005 4:22 am)

Replying to: ro22tol (Jun 22, 2005 10:56 pm) The leather in our '05 T&C is pretty good. People have different tastes as far as leather quality goes. Our van only has 1500 miles on it and so far it is holding up well. The only issue is a slight blemish on the drivers seat bottom. I broght the van to the dealer and they ordered a new seat bottom and will replace it during the first service visit.   IMHO: The smell alone is worth the upgrade....
