The EP prices are not at good as the prices that I found at the end of June. I found a dealer that would sell me a GC sxt for inovoice minus hold back (which is actually the EP price) then $3,500 in rebates MSRP $28625 Invoice $26735 rebates $3500 Invoice minus hold backs of about $1250 - rebates $3500= final price $21,995 Now the rebates are only $2,000 on the same van (thus I would have saved $1,500 by purchasing in June over July. Same dealer said wait until the rebates change again. He could not match the price quoted in June, cause the mopar rebates to the consumer were not as good. I have found that the EP is the bottom line at dealers. |

Just bought a 2005 GC SXT. MSRP was $33,120 with the Leather Interior Group, Premium Group, In-Dash 6-Disc CD w/DVD , and Rear Seat Video System. EP Plus was $29,283 - $2000 Rebate = $27,283. Final price to me was $26,283. That's $1000 below EP Plus. Had a dealership offer $1400 below EP Plus on a GC SXT with the same specs but they only had one and it was my wife's least favorite color. Also paid $2000 for the DC Maximum Care Service Contract 6 years/ 100K miles with $0 deductible. I think the list price is $2750. Dealer told me the EP for the Service Contract was $2295. Search for "Daimler Chrysler Service Contract" online and there are a couple of Chrysler Dealerships in the midwest selling their contracts over the Internet for the price I paid. Showed the dealership a print out of the listed prices and they matched. |

Yesterday I bought a new 2005 T&C and paid $15,700 (yes it was the base model). I’m confident that I got a good deal. Here in Florida I saw an ad in the paper showing that they were selling the base model '05 T&C for $15,990 plus tax tags and dealer fee of $398. I figured that they would jack up the price when I showed up, but they didn't. I ended up getting anouther $250 off that price by the following method: I brought in an ad from a competitor showing '05 caravans for $11,999 and the '05 Grand Caravan for $15,999. So I argued as follows:  Dodge GC costs $2,000 more, so Chrysler should be cheaper  4 wheel ABS brakes std on GC (only optional with T&C)  GC has steering wheel mounted controls std & not avail on T&C  GC has theatre style seating std, & not avail on T&C  GC has 3rd row Split bench seat std & not avail on T&C  GC is longer (more space -11.2 inches) The sales manager kept trying to tell me that it was apples and oranges because the Caravan was only a 4 cylinder, but i was careful to tell him that I knew that and I was only drawing a comparison between the GC and the T&C. As for one of the posters above who said that there are a lot of differences between the GC and T&C, that is wrong. The above differences are the only pros that I could find that the GC has over the T&C. I also found several options that the T&C has that the GC does not have, such as the key with bottons to unlock and lock the doors. Keep in mind these are only the base models. Hope my research can help others in future negotiations. By the way, the price i paid was over $1000 less than the Employee pricing that everyone was pushing last month.

Replying to: fish8 (Oct 10, 2005 6:02 am) I argued that they should sell me the T&C cheaper than the price that they were advertising because i found a DGC for the same price, and the regular MSRP for the DGC is more than the T&C. Thus, if i can get a DGC for the same price, they must be asking too much. regardless, i only got an additional $250 off, so who knows which part of the argument worked, but i haven't found anyone who came close to the deal that I got yet. Hopefully there are others out there who got this good of a deal (or even better). |
