2008 T & C Touring MSRP 32,500 (this one was invoiced early, therefore was priced cheaper!) OTD 23,312 + tax offered 2 years free oil changes and gas voucher Do you think this is a good deal??? Plan on sealing the deal tomorrow. Any thoughts??

Well, after lurking around here for most of the year, I finally joined. I now have a few questions. These are to Tedebear and rmbalisa in particular (since they seem to be the resident CDI and Friends number experts), but anybody can chime in if they know the answer. What are the rules for the dealer if they have to go get the van from another dealer? (Dealer swap of otherwise.) I live it the “sticks”. My closest dealer (number1) is 18.4 miles away; dealer 2 is 27.5 miles away. Neither of these is in a large city, (that is at least 60+ miles away.) I go to dealer 1; they don’t have what I want. They look for it in the system and find one close to what I want 187 miles away. They give me a price, I show them my supplier number, and he says that he won’t go get it because they will lose money and that the number is intended for buying “off the lot” or ordering new. I go to dealer 2, tell her what I want and she finds one that is only missing one option. It is 6 hours away. I haven’t told her about the number yet and I don’t know where or which dealer it is located at. Fortunately, dealer number 1 told me the city and VIN of that van and I have found it. So, do I have to go to the dealer that physically has the van or does my local dealer HAVE to go get it for me when using these numbers? Also, when using the DODGE site to search for a van, does anybody have a way to make it search in a larger area? (Some special link, rmbalisa?) It gets to be a pain trying to search for this van that’s 6 hours away when I don’t even know which direction to go. Oh, Can I get a CDI number too? (Just kidding, I know you guy’s don’t have any more. But if you stumble across one...    )

Replying to: peavs (Sep 11, 2008 7:59 pm) In the past when the EC (Employee Choice) program was still running a dealer did not HAVE to sell a vehicle under the plan. If they elected to then they had to abide by the rules. I don't work for a dealership but I'm pretty certain that they would not have to do a dealer transfer if the vehicle you were interested in was not on their lot but the locator found it elsewhere. They are making barely anything off a buyer who uses the CDI to make a purchase and they would probably lose money if they have to pay to have it transported to them. Also, when using the DODGE site to search for a van, does anybody have a way to make it search in a larger area? In the search option look around until you find an "Advanced Search" tab. There you can specify a search radius to look as far away as you are willing to travel. No more CDI numbers - sorry. My suggestion that I've mentioned in the past is to look up the CDI price and ask the dealer to match it. Apparently some buyers on here have successfully done that. As always, any rebate or other price incentives are further subtracted from the CDI price for even greater savings.

I don't work for a dealership but I'm pretty certain that they would not have to do a dealer transfer if the vehicle you were interested in was not on their lot but the locator found it elsewhere. That’s what I thought; I was just hoping it was different. Looks like in will HAVE to be “on the road again” and go get it. In the search option look around until you find an "Advanced Search" tab. There you can specify a search radius to look as far away as you are willing to travel. That’s the problem, on the DODGE site; there is no option after you enter your zip code. They give you the dealers in an area that Chrysler chooses. No more CDI numbers - sorry. I know; I was just “piling on” with the request just like a lot of others have in the last few pages. It’s very clear (at least to me) that you do not have any more. In the past when the EC (Employee Choice) program was still running a dealer did not HAVE to sell a vehicle under the plan. What is the rule now though? I have a number from my work, (a supplier number) and if I was to obtain a CDI number (for some where else, not here) does a dealer HAVE to sell me the van they have on their lot or CAN they refuse?

Replying to: srt10 (Sep 11, 2008 5:20 pm) http://www.westburyjeep.com/index.htm Thanks, srt10. I know those guys quite well actually. I was trying to negotiate a price for a Jeep over a year ago with them, but instead I went with Major Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge for the purchase. The Selling Price of $ 21562 on a $32500 Signature Series is great in my opinion. With the reg/dmv fees and taxes on the car and the rebates, it would probably come out to $24000 OTD. It sucks that u have to pay taxes on the rebates. BTW, they have 165 in stock. No wonder they're offerring $11k off of MSRP. |

| Hi tedebear, I sent an email with a request for some advice to your carspace mailbox. Can you send me a reply back whenever you get a chance to read it? Thanks again for all your help. | |
Other than looking for a CDI #...  Has anyone seen the removable center console? I've only seen what they call the Premium sliding center console, but one of the ones I'm looking online at and making an offer on has a removable center console. Is it that much different other than the sliding and removing? Thanks! |
