Touring 25M by hudsonj

We are finally making the move to a minivan since our family is growing. We just got a 2009 T&C Touring 25M package with the upgraded paint (MSRP $34,405) with an advertised employee price (including $1500 customer cash and $1342 off for Anniversary edition/DVD) of $27,248. I also got a direct mail flyer for an additional $500 off. So my final negotiated price is $25,100 plus 7% sales tax and $210 for tax, making my OTD price $27,067. I'm also taking advantage of the 2.9% for 48 months. I checked with a bunch of other dealers from Pittsburgh all the way to Maryland, and none of them could match or beat it. I was warned repeatedly that this must be a bait-and-switch since "they all pay the same price for their vehicles." I'm guessing my guy is trying to make a quota as the end of the month nears, and will get some type of manufacturer bonus if he hits his mark. Did I get as sweet a deal as I think I did? For all my options and upgrades with the 25M, I'd have to shell out $10K+ more for an Odyssey.

In Atlanta last weekend they were advertising them for $24,998 at yourdodge.com so it seems your price is in the balpark. I want to get them even lower.

Good looking out. I checked out the site, and sure enough, there they are. Must be an additional regional discount for Atlanta? I wanted to wait it out until May 1 to see if the deals get any sweeter, but this whole stimulus package craziness has me worried about what will happen to prices. I'm thinking they might stabilize once Chrysler is forced into bankruptcy or reorganizes with Fiat, which will be determined this week. Even a few hundred dollars of savings isn't worth the stress of waiting it out with fingers crossed, I think.

My understanding is that there may be some opportunity existing this weekend if only for a hedge to the uncertainty of the reorganization risk. The source is good and trustworthy, but at the end of the day its still a guess whether buying now vs. one month from now. I'm skeptical of financial predictions unless its from someone like Warren Buffet (unfortunately its not).

I'm thinking anything out the door for under 30 would be a huge win. Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks.

Hi
I am looking at my first minivan purchase. I am getting a deal for Chrsyler T&C touring with dual DVD system for $23300+tax. I am also getting a deal for Honda Odyssey EX for around $23500+tax. Kinda confused which one would be better. I am interested in long term low maintanence quality vehicle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What package is on your T&C? Cloth seats or leather?

2009 T&C 28M moon roof. by shamcy

I just brought home a silver 2009 T&C with 28M (4.0L engine, dual screen dvd, backup camera, heated power leather seats, media center, remote starter, 25th anniversary pack, etc.) and sun roof.
Sticker was $35,705.
After trading in my clunker 1994 Audi 100s which is 165,000 miles old, burning oil, a little rusty, and has a rough tranny. I got it for $23,800 + TTL. I also took the 0% financing option.
I know if I tried to sell the Audi on my own, I would not get more than $1000 for it which makes my deal worth around $24,800 + TTL. That is almost $11,000 OFF MSRP.
I also took the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty for $1800. (I drive my cars until they say please put me to sleep).
How did I do ?
FYI, the dealer has the Grand Caravan SXT with the customer preferred package and the 4.0L engine for $21,900. The sticker on this one is around $31,000. I thought this was a pretty good deal too for those who might be interested.
If you are wondering, the dealer is Wickstrom in Barrington, IL on Northwest Highway.

That's the exact car I am looking for. What did they put on the paperwork for the price of the car and your trade. Did they put $1000 for your trade?

He put $1300 down for the trade in. What ticked me off the most is the fact that I had to pay sales tax on the full sticker price. Does anyone know if that is the way it should be ? or was this another way the dealer got a few more $100s out of me ?
