#47 of 182 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....

"Interior Features Article Subsections • Introduction • Walkaround • Interior • Driving Impressions • Summary & Specs Get Your Discount Price on a Dodge Caravan      see more photos      Dodge Caravan's interior is comfortable and convenient. Both Caravan and Grand Caravan can accommodate seven passengers in a 2/2/3 arrangement.   The seats in our 2005 Grand Caravan SXT were nicely finished in light-colored leather. The material is soft and appears to be durable. The seat bottoms are nicely finished on all sides; some manufacturers don't finish the inboard side panels and that leaves an unattractive, unfinished look that you don't notice until after you've bought the vehicle. Faux carbon fiber trim added a touch of high-tech to the cabin."
#50 of 182 below invoice pricing? by ro22tol Jun 24, 2005 (1:24 am)
I will be traveling to Minneapolis this weekend. I searched the local dealers inventories on the net, and have found one with the options i want. I e-mailed the dealership and have an appointment to check it out.   QUESTION: Do you think that it is two unreasonable to ask for Invoice price minus $1,000.?? Then take the rebates off that price?   Wouldn't the dealers want to get rid of there 05's this late in the model year.   I don't want to make them mad at me, but yet the van is actually a year old, since the 06's will be out shortly.

Replying to: ro22tol (Jun 24, 2005 1:24 am) Looks like about invoice and then the take the rebate off is what they are selling for according to edmunds TMV and carsdirct.com. But that sounds like a good place to start it never hurts to try, just be polite and firm!! Then 2500 less than invoice with rebate is the place to stop and find another dealer. Have fun it's always nice to get a new car.
#52 of 182 $9000 cash incentive? by m_42 Jun 25, 2005 (10:41 am)
Greetings,    I received a postcard from my local Dodge Dealer (SW Florida), offering $9000 if I buy a new Dodge by June 30, 2005. It says that one: :Must present postcard upon arrival. All Factory rebates must apply, including Owner Loyalty Incentive. Offer cannot be combined with Dealer Incentives." Is this as good a deal as it sounds? I currently lease an 01 and the lease expires on August 31, 2005. I imagine that I can get a similar deal -when the 06 will be out- for the 2005 models?   Any comments would be highly welcome!

#53 of 182 Quote for an '05 Grand Caravan SXT by hdg Jun 26, 2005 (4:53 pm)
I received a quote for a 2005 DGC SXT in linen gold with power liftgate, Sirius Satellite Radio and 6 CD in dash Cd player for $21,000 including the $2500 rebate and the $1000 trade in rebate. I stated earlier in my negotiations with this particular dealer that my previous quote that he was trying to beat included destination and dealer fees. I e-mailed him to ask if the $21K price included dealer and destination, but he won't be in again until tomorrow at 9am. If it does include those fees, then I think I have one heck of a deal. Invoice price with these options is $26,258 including destination but not rebates according to Edmunds. With the $3500 in rebates, $21K is $1758 under invoice. However, if the $21K doesn't include dealer and destination then I don't think it's a very good deal since the destination is $730 and the dealer fee is probably $250-500.   Thoughts?

Replying to: m_42 (Jun 25, 2005 10:41 am) Well, needless to say that the 9k were just a smokescreen to get people into the dealership. Unfortunately, they were also not interested in coming up with a reasonable deal. Their 'best' offer was 23k for a GC SE with stow'n'go seating and power windows/locks, cruise and the dark tinted windows. Add another 1k for a basic SXT. Needless to say that I left and will either wait until the 2006 model is out and they lower the price or shop elsewhere. For this money I can buy a Sienna, which supposedly has a better track record.

#55 of 182 below invoice in MSP by ro22tol Jul 04, 2005 (9:23 pm)
The dealer in Minneapolis actually had some good prices. I was interested in a 2005 GC SXT with options of tow group and rear power hatch.   Dealer wanted $22,000 for it, that price is $1,200 below invoice and $3,500 in rebates. They pissed me off with my trade, so I didn't buy it (even though I should have). The salesman even tried one last time as I was driving off the lot!!   I just didn't like the games played. They did however approach what I thought my van was worth (nada wholesale).   I still may go for it, but I am going to wait and see what the new incentives are going to be on the 5th.

Replying to: m_42 (Jul 03, 2005 9:24 pm) Just remember, the '06's do not have the 7/75K extended powertrain warranty anymore!!
