This might change now that the bailout or stimulus or whatever you want to call it package was passed by Congress and the President. Let me give an example specific to this. I work for a company that makes parts for Chrysler and other auto makers. My project is a part that goes in the T&C and GC. Monday (9/29), we were going to run 2 shifts that day and 1 shift only 9/30 through 10/8 then back to 2 shifts for the rest of that week. Then a possible shut down week of 10/13. About an hour after the House failed to pass the package on 9/29, all the orders from Chrysler disappeared. We only ran 1 shift 9/29 and are shut down until 10/20 (at least).
 
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.

If the orders for parts disappeared, then there is going to be a shortage of the Chrysler and Dodge minivans, that is probably why the rebates went down too.
 
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.

That VW minivan was originally planned to be built at the St. Louis area minivan assembly plant, where I work. Last year Chrysler invested 1/2 billion (yes, BILLION) dollars into making it into a flexible manufacturing facility. State of the art everything. The VW would have fit right in. Politics came into play and it is now being built at Windsor.
 
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.

Any idea what the monthly payment is and how much down on the Routan lease?

I just purchased T&C Touring Value package , dual dvd, swivel n go, for $24,438 before taxes and fees (includes $4,500 rebate), Sticker was $32,995 ...Basically they honored a quote from last month using empee pricing (I don't have empee pricing just said I knew what it is) and last month's 5K rebate. Now...I'm wondering if the rebates will increase for November 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.

I think you got a good deal, sleep well.
 
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.

Hi boesman1. For October Chrysler is providing
 
0% to 7.9% financing plus $2,000 customer cash
 
OR
 
$2,500 - $3,500 Customer Cash (the amount varies by trim level and region)
 
AND
 
up to an additional $1,000 bonus cash in select regions.
 
I can tell you exactly what incentives are available in your area if you tell me what state you are in.
