Hi, I was hoping for some help/direction as I have never bought a new car before. My wife loves the T/C, we've leased 2 in the past 4 years, now our sales guy is saying buying is the way to go. I would like to own- as long as it lasts!! My 96 Honda Accord is at 220,000, He offered us 22,500 for a T/C 2008 touring K package- 4.9% for 72 months ~368 a month. Nothing down. I don't have a lot to put down or trade in. my credit is A+. I called my bank, they said they couldn't beat that rate. Should I barter for a lower price? What is fair out there? Also what is the quality on the 2008? I am for buying a used 2006 but my wife loves the new one. What do people think? I live in Metro Detroit. Thanks for all the help. |

I've finally done it. 2008 Town & Country Limited. Light sandstone, with Svivel, power folding seat, and a tow prep. (Really wanted the load leveling ride). I paid $29,221 for the van. MSRP $38,595. Invoice, $35,721. They sold it to me for invoice, minus $1,500 VIP discounte, minus $5k rebate. I also bought a 7 year 100k warranty. $34k out the door. Also, got 5.9 apr. But, I'm going to refinance with my own bank anyway. Its a really nice van we like it. We we really interested in the Odyssey Touring, but after a test drive, we went for the T&C. The honda was much firmer and much noisier on the highway. Plus the handa doesn't offer the features we wanted. (MyGig, heated middle seats, remote start, and others.) I looked through the owners manual about the life time powertrain warranty, and it seems to cover almost everything. There are not a lot of ifs and buts. For example, it says the transaxle case and ALL internal components are covered. That sounds good to me. If you live in the Portland Vancouver Area I would recommend you go do Dick Hannah Chrysler. Once there, ask for Don, he's a good guy guy. But once you start talking money, ask for Les. Les was really professional, and I didn't feel like someone wanted to trick me into something. (I did get that feeling from the sales person at Handa though, no offence). Les also, made sure that everything wen't smoothly. He even stayed at the dealership until we left at 10:30 pm even though they close at 9pm. We are happy |

I'm now the proud owner of a new 2008 Town and Country Limited stone white. Not sure if I got a good deal or not but I tried to get a good price. MSRP was $41,149 they sold me the vehicle for $31,120 area + tax. My final on the road price was $34,000 for the limited with swivel and go seating. Got the My GIG entertainment system with Navigation, Sat radio, Sat TV and 2 LCD screens in the back. I did not get some the options in the deal that I have just seen posted above like the blind spot system or the Extended warranty. I'm thinking I paid a bit too much considering that I did not get the extended warranty in my deal. What do you all think? Can I go back to the dealer and get the extended warranty added at a good price? They have already offered the ext warranty to me for $2,400 bucks. Seems high. Thx Greg

Help! I'm a first-time car buyer (I usually lease) in Miami, FL and want to make sure I'm getting a good deal. I'm supposed to go in tomorrow and do the paperwork, but I wanted to check with the knowledgeable people here before going ahead with it. 2008 Town & Country Touring Signature List Price......$33090 Being Offered at......$23924 plus tax and tag. Is this a good deal? It seems OK to me, but then again I don't know much about this kind of thing Please help!! Jennifer

But, it doesn't hurt to try to negotiate some more. See if they can give you 30% or more off MSRP or let 23924 be what you pay OTD (includes taxes & dmv fees). It's your call. |

Replying to: jac608 (Sep 18, 2008 12:27 pm) that is actually lower than employee pricing which is at $24383. MSRP is 33090, employee discount is $3707, $3000 cash allowance and $2000 regional bonus cash. I'd say jump on it. are you in a current lease with Chrysler? Maybe the $750 loyalty bonus is lumped into your price. That is the only thing i can think of... |

Replying to: dlseek (Sep 04, 2008 7:51 am) you wrote : >> I have a question: When I go to the dealer who should I talk to? The salesperson or to a manager or to ??? I was in a dealership today and the price they quoted me for a 2008 T&C touring with leather and navigation and which they said was employee pricing, was $2,000 over the CDI price and was $1,000 over the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty. Thanks so much for your advice!!!!
