Picked up my new Grand Caravan, Friday last week. (9/26) (Yes, I know this is the T&C price forum but I'm posting here too because it seems to be more active on pricing, deals, CDI's, supplier discounts etc.) Everything has been great so far. It is missing 1 option that I wanted (power 3rd row seat)  and had 1 that I did not want (SIRIUS BackSeat TV) but, it was as close to perfect and as close to home that I could find.  Here's the deal that I got: 2008 Grand Caravan SXT Base price $ 27,140 Light Sandstone Metallic Paint $ 150 Customer Preferred Package 28M $ 3,785 Swivel'n Go Seating Group $ 495 Trailer Tow Prep Group $ 600 Premium Interior Group 1 $ 370 Dual Screen DVD Entertainment System $ 1,525 2nd-Row Bucket Seats with Child Boosters $ 225 4.0-Liter V6 SOHC Engine $ 630 SIRIUS BackSeat TV $ 495 DESTINATION CHARGE $ 770 MSRP $ 36,185 My deal: Employee Price $ 31,935 Program Fee $ 200 Go 1193 miles to pick it up fee $ 1,130 Dealer "Customer Service" fee $ 149 Trade in $ - 2,000 $ 31,414 TAX -- 7% $ 2,198.98 Total $ 33,612.98 Dodge Midwest Rebate $ - 3,000 Chrysler Financial Rebate $ - 2,000 OTD $ 28,612.98 I also got 3.9% for 60 months through Chrysler Financial. I bought it out of my state so, Title and Transfer were additional and I paid 3/4% higher tax.  Obviously, if I could have found one closer and in my state it would have been cheaper. (around $1,436.23  ). But the only one in my state, with the above minimum options, was fully loaded with 28N package, sunroof and navigation. That's almost $5,000 more at employee price. I had a very hard time finding Trailer Tow and Booster Seats with in a 500 mile search radius. (Thanks to tedebear for the tip on how to use "Advanced Search" on the Dodge website.) Also looks like I bought at the right time. Dodge Midwest Rebate went up $500 (to $3,500) but, Chrysler Financial rebate is gone and 60 months is 5.9% now. (According to the Doge website.)

Replying to: boesman1 (Oct 03, 2008 8:30 am) The $2000 rebate for using Chrysler Financial is gone and available CF interest rates went up on 10/1. I think all this can be related to tight credit markets. I just hope (for my job) that it's not directly related to the viability of Chrysler. One good thing is that Employee Discount (CDI) still applies to Supplier numbers for September.

Replying to: peavs (Oct 04, 2008 7:16 pm) I am also thinking something good may happen for us who have bought the Chrysler or Dodge minivans with the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty. Maybe the resale price will now be better because we are going to be able to afford to maintain our minivans and fix everything that breaks immediately. A friend of mine just leased a 2009 VW Routan minivan. The VW Routan is actually a Chrysler T&C with a nicer interior and a german suspension. Otherwise it is the same minivan and is being made in Windsor, Ontario where my T&C was made. She said they are really giving good deals on it, they are desperate to get them on the road.

Replying to: bocababe2 (Oct 05, 2008 7:17 am) They are working 3 production shifts at Windsor to keep up with demand. Meanwhile, the St. Louis plant will be shutting down in 4 weeks - probably forever. No amount of data that has shown the company that it is cheaper to build the units in the US than to import them across the border has convinced them to change their minds. I feel sorry for the thousands of people who will be losing their jobs over this. Unlike most of them I work in skilled trades and I found another job opportunity fairly quickly. Still, it is not fun having to start all over after having been with one company for 25 years. |

Anybody has any new pricing quotes for the T&C? any model? Wanted to get an idea on what is going on in October?

Replying to: skr2 (Oct 13, 2008 9:18 am)  but I was ready to pull the trigger and not be doing this numbers thing anymore  All in all I think it was a great deal and know it was the best deal from any dealer in my area.

Replying to: mv08 (Oct 14, 2008 9:51 am) There is no guarantee that the incentives will get any better than they did last month, so with the employee pricing + rebate, you are getting a good deal. |
