#1640 of 1653 Whooo. T&C Must be dead . No talk here. by 007bing

No one must be shopping for T&C vans and the current owners are out riding in them constantly...so they can't come here and chat about what a great van they have.

#1642 of 1653 Any other experience? by nokoni

Thinking of making an offer on a T&C Touring-L but not really sure what to offer. The one I'm after has the following option add-ons.
 
-Driver Convenience Group
- Dual Screen DVD Entertainment System
- UConnect 730N with the navigation
 
Looks like adjusted internet price for this van is $31,200, which is well below what Edmunds is saying is the true value. So there's some sort of disconnect there.
 
Anyways, does anyone know if Ally is still offering rebates for using their financing?
 
I'd like to get the price in the low $28,000 range. Would you just contact the internet department and say 'Hey, I'll give you $28,000 for that van'? Would they take me seriously? I think this price range is doable from some of the posts I read.
 
I'm not a very good negotiater and am just looking for some help and pointers.
 
Thanks.

#1643 of 1653 Used 2008 T&C touring by jwreich

We just purchased a used 09 T&C with 32k miles. It was locally owened and serviced and I called the previous owner when I found his name and number in the glove box. The wife gave the all clear so we bought it.
 
Came with touring package
Dual screen DVD
Separate DVD player as well as the fancy fold down face in dash DVD player
Back up camera
Cloth seats
 
They had it listed for 20,950
Paid $18,600
 
Bought a Chrysler extended service plan (Premium) after I cancelled the junk sold to me by the Honda dealer. I walked in and cancelled it the next day.
 
Anyway, my wife really likes the car. We had them put new tires on all 4 corners, new battery, new wiper blades, fresh oil change, 4 wheel alignment and of course a full detail.
 
The precious owner hadn't even taken the ear phones and remote out of the plastic and box. We are excited.

#1644 of 1653 Purchase Completed: 2012 Town & Country Touring by artdr

I decided to go with the T&C Touring base model because of the price. I had seen some local places advertise it for 20,995, but that is strictly if you are in the military and a Chrysler employee. I also test drove the Sienna, but the pricing was probably $5K more for the similar options. The DVD option on the Sienna is $2400! The base models are drying up, so I decided to buy sooner rather than later.
 
My "base" T&C has the following std options:
Back-up cam
40GB hard drive for MP3s
Rear dvd with 2 headsets
 
I picked up a Pearl Black with Black interior T&C for $25219 plus tax, title and license.
 
The base model has an MSRP of 30,930. I received friends and family pricing. Toledo OH has several chrysler plants, so they give F&F pricing to everyone. I also got the $1750 cash back instead of the financing, and $1000 cash back for lease termination bonus cash. I turn in my Toyota Camry in October and they give you cash for switching brands.
 
I was working with a dealer in Sylvania, OH, and the best price he could give me was $25,762. The day I came in to sign the papers, he told me they didn't have the car in the color I wanted and that both cars that met my specs had been sold the day before. They tried the ol' bait and switch, and I wasn't buying it.
 
So I called a dealer 45 min away in Archibold OH, I told them the price and the financing I had qualified for and they agreed to sell me the car at that price. So I show up and they tell me that the numbers actually worked out to paying $25219 AND they got me a lower interest rate. (2.99% for 72 months instead of 3.5%). I ended up taking the 75 months at 3.09%. Monthly came out to $410 a month. In any case, I am a very happy customer.

#1645 of 1653 When to buy by gauger01

Aug 23, 2012 (7:39 am)

I have been thinking about buying a 2012 T&C later this year, but now am concerned that since this will be the last year for T&C that the availability of vehicles will be getting more scarce.
 
The 0% finance offer expires 9/04/12. Does anyone expect Chrysler to renew that? I was originally planning to buy in Oct/Nov timeframe.

It depends if you are particular about color. My wife really wanted blue, but 6 dealerships within a 150 mile radius had none at the price I wanted. Seems like there are plenty of red and cashmere color. There were plenty of town and countries in a higher trim level. Pretty sure they will continue the financing, and prices will get cheaper. My lease was up in October, but I bought now to make sure we got the t&c we wanted.
