Replying to: esob64 (Dec 15, 2005 11:27 pm) at that time, empolyer discount was ended but from mspr $37,705 with all possible options, i could get it down to $35.??? including tax and tags!!! with 3hrs of waiting and talking at the deslership and visiting 3 different locations. so i think you can get lower price than just $2500 off and they should give you some other discounts at the dealership also like 'chrysler's #1 largest in PA Berrry dealership??? discount $1000.' ^^ good luck |

Went into the dealer last night thinking to lease it (the lease offer that ended last night was $3000 down and $199/mo for 27 mos), but ended up buying the vehicle. Wanted to lease b/c I was a little apprehensive abt buying it due to reported mechanical issues in the past. And I have never owned Chrysler before. But I've driven it for a week in Florida and liked it. Didn't think we could keep the mileage under 12K/year. And 0% financing for 60 mo. was really hard to pass up. Final price was $26,991+tax+registration (~$29,110 total). I'm located in Bergen County, NJ. Question: 1. How did I do on this? Really didn't have to hassle b/c the sales guys was a kid that just started to work there. He kept walking back to the manager for everything. 2. Any other crucial options that I should get other than the DVD system? BTW, I have 2 boys - ages 3 and 5. Thx |

But have you looked into an aftermarket DVD system? I like those b/c you can move em from vehicle to vehicle and they're a lot cheaper. Just something to think about.

Replying to: dennisctc (Apr 04, 2006 2:06 pm) Yeah, I think I'll get one of those portal DVD units. I'm also thinking about getting the front center console. (I haven't picked up the car yet.) But it's $400 ($200 part + $200 labor). Not sure it's worth it... Has anyone installed the console by themselves? They told me b/c of the wiring, it takes them about 2 hours to install the center console. Also, has anyone tried to do the e-oil change on this vehicle? (Haven't found the Town & Country Maintenance forum on edmunds. If there is one, pls point me to it.) I'm wondering if the filter and drain plug are easily accessible. Thank you.

Replying to: killerk (Apr 05, 2006 3:16 pm) Check for a harness under the carpet between the front seats. My understanding is that you can buy the center console, plug in one connector and 4 bolts in <5 minutes. My touring has the console from the factory, so I didn't have to install it. I do love it for the phone holder alone. I have 14.5k miles on my 05 T&C Touring (only the center console option). I am leasing w/ extra miles paid. I always take this vehicle to a quick oil change place. I find it not worth my time to save $5-10 for regular oil and filters. When I used Mobile 1 in a few of my vehicles, I did it myself. I dunno where anything is on this van and don't care to find out. Just a short term appliance for me. As for your price, I'd say $27k would be right at invoice for your $29.2k Touring. I always recommend calculating the rebate vs. low finace rate amounts. I believe there was $4k availible until Apr 3. Besides the difference (if any) in payments between rebates vs. 0%, you also have a lower balance on the loan initially which is good for a couple reasons. if yu change your mind and decide to sell the vehicle after 2 years, you lost 3 years of 0% finance savings. Also, the loan balance will be $3000 higher and probably upside down by that much or more. If you were in an accident and the van were totaled, you get actual cash value, not loan value unless you have gap insurance. Of course, these are unplanned events and the difference in payment by my calculations would be no more than $17/mo for 5 years. Enjoy the van! What other options? Everyone has their own value for specific options. I got our T&C 10 days before before my first child was born. The Touring includes many convienient things such as the power side and rear doors, trip computer, Homelink, and 3-zone HVAC. Leather is easer to clean than cloth. DVD's keep the kids quiet. Sunroof lets in fresh air. Every option has value to someone. I won't say any should be valuable to you. |

I had sold my GC last friday just to find out that their "Sign and Drive" promotion as well as 4k off had expired few days ago. What is the best deal at that point? Need a van this week and look like I would have to go used - with their depreciation and reliability issues I just don't want to loose 8k during the first year of being a proud owner of a new Limited.

Hi Guys, Can people share their experiences here in the bay area for Chrysler TC LX and Limited styles. The current incentives as mentioned in post 297 are 3500+1000=4500. My question is are these applied on the invoice price or the MRSP. Also I have an affiliate employee reward for 2000 for Chrsyler and I would like to ask whether anyone has used that or not and does all these discounts and rebates get on top of MSRP or the invoice again. Moreover any idea what's the best time to go for a Chrysler van...is it this month or towards the mid year (may/ june) time frame. Appreciate your responses and thanks very much. Best Regards, Dr Pool

Replying to: drpool (Apr 11, 2006 1:36 am) As for the affiliate reward, the only one I know of is the once that gives you the preferred price which is near invoice without negotiations. Talk to your HR people about how your company discount partnership works before talking with a dealer. LX vs. Limited trim levels is a $10k spread with the Touring in the middle I'd narrow that down. IMHO, the LX is not a good value for its equipment vs. the Touring. |
