Replying to: krojas (Jan 01, 2009 7:50 pm) If you absolutely want a new one,,,go in for a toyota.It`s quieter than the Honda.But test drive both before making a choice as it comes down to personal preference.You won`t go wrong with either. If you dont mind used cars,,I would suggest you go in for for a 1 or 2 year old toyota/honda bcos that way you wont lose a lot of money for a very low mileage used car.You could get a loaded version too instead of just the base no frill models. Hope this helps.

Replying to: deltheking (Jan 01, 2009 10:58 pm) > I drove all 3 of them and the difference was so obvious right from the drive to the interior This is your opinion. Please don't present it as fact. We drove all the vans, and we liked the T&C the best. Especially when you factor in that it was $4000 less than the Toyota, and the Honda. We love our T&C. Now, whether Chrysler will be in business to honor their lifetime warranty; that is another issue. |

Replying to: krojas (Jan 01, 2009 7:50 pm) Is it just because of resale value? How long do you plan to drive the van? How long, historically, have you kept your vehicles?

Replying to: krojas (Jan 02, 2009 4:36 am) If you are worried Chrysler will bankrupt and you won't be able to get warranty service, then go for one of the others. If you are worried about the resale value of a car you might keep for 13 years.... well, I'm not sure what to tell you. Remember, the T&C comes with a life time power train warranty. The Toyota's power train warranty is 5 years, 60k miles. I can tell you this: We did all the research on the T&C, and all the other vans, and we chose the Chrysler. Let us know what you decided to do, and how it worked out. (just curious)

Replying to: krojas (Jan 02, 2009 5:06 am) I was stating from experience.I had Dodge caravan, a twin of TC,, and it had no major problems,,but it had so many minor issues,-- small part break,small leaks, etc.Again nothing major but each trip to the dealer cost about 200$.And not to mention that is was with the mechanic for 1 or 2 days.The first 40000 miles or so,,there wont be any problems.After that its a different issue.But if you like it,,you should buy it. But if you plan to trade it within 3 or 4 years the resale takes a real beating. Plus Chrysler is in such disarray now,,,i dont know if it`s a safe option to buy one now.B`cos if they file for bankruptcy,,,then they need not honor any warrantys,,,and regular maintenance with parts would be difficult,,,specially if it`s a problem with electronics or computer. Good luck. |

Replying to: krojas (Jan 02, 2009 4:36 am) ROTFL  Why did you go to the dealership if not to possibly buy a car? Don't tell me you were "just looking." THEY GOT YOU TO BUY A CAR. >The veh. might turn out to be a great car. In EXACTLY the same way, the Toyota "might" have problems or even leave you stranded. OH, THE HORROR! Owning a vehicle might not be a completely pain-free experience! Someday I might even - gasp! - have to CHANGE THE WIPER BLADES! http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.f1117cc/0!make=Toyota&model=Sienna&ed_mak- eindex=.f1117cc Sorry for tearing you a new one, but look at what you're doing... You're experiencing buyer's remorse, which every human being has, and you're talking about giving back the vehicle you just got FOR $10,000 UNDER MSRP and taking a $4000 loss on it? The dealership just sits there and giggles, because they'll be able to turn around and sell it for $23k again. Now, while we were waiting for our GC to come from the factory, we rented a stripped-down version (Stow-N-Go the only option) for our Thanksgiving road trip. 2100 miles later, we're more stoked than ever about getting the vehicle, which may be in today. |
