It's not clear to me whether you can get side airbags on the Spring Special Edition (2006) Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan. I looked at all the local dealers' inventories and could not find any with side air bags. Also, the options code for the Spring special edition is confusing. Some sites have it listed as 29P, some as 29S, and some as either. What's the difference? Can the Spring Special Edition still be ordered (mid June 2006)? Thanks Steve H. "Hof" Indianapolis

I am interested in possibly purchasing a 2006 T&C Limited. Has anyone purchased one with the employee pricing? Just curious as to what one with a DVD player would come down to. Alternatively, I am thinking about a Touring with side airbags, DVD, and leather (maybe the luxury group too but not sure about that package). Anyone buy one lately??

I just picked up a 2006 T&C Touring with the Spring Special Package. MSRP = 32,730.00 Employee Disc = (3,102.00) Dealer Disc = (1,169.78) Rebate = (2,500) Total Price = 25,958.22 + Tax I leased on a 39 month 15K lease. Paid $800 up front (first month & DMV fees). Residual = 44% MF = .00161 Monthly Pymt = $361.33 + Tax (Note that the MF may be a tad higher than published rates. The published rate is .0015, which would have made my monthly $5 less...) This was done at Power Chrysler in Valencia, CA, and it was all negotiated up front via email.

Replying to: arrosen (Jul 24, 2006 10:07 am) MSRP $31,285 Employee Disc $(3,386) Rebate $(2,500) Dealer Disc $( 899) Total Discounts $(6,785) Total + Tax + Title $24,500 I visited two other dealership that will not deal with me and fixed their prices at the employee discount. They kept telling me that the EP was lower than the invoice price and they couldn't go any lower. One of those kept calling me and I kept telling him to reduce his price but he never did. Also, I did the Consumer Report's Car Pricing thing but it did not help. CR's price was the same price that you get from edmunds.com (do not waste your money). I hope this helps someone. |

I posted this on the Voyager/Caravan board as well. Model Info: 2000 Chrysler Town & Country LXi with All-Wheel-Drive (includes 3.8 liter V-6 engine and 4-wheel disc brakes), 29Y Package (includes leather interior, power seats, Infinity stereo system, alarm, 16” aluminum wheels, roof rack, various convenience groups, etc.), Heated Front Seats and Trailer Tow Group. MSRP/Invoice (in 2000): $35,140/$31,686 Price paid (in March 2000): $32,276 + tax. Edmund’s trade-in value (in August 2006): $ 4,000 (almost 90% depreciation over 6 years). Strengths: Slightly “upscale” interior (compared to other minivans), room to comfortably seat seven adult passengers. Weaknesses: POOR RELIABILITY, UNDERPOWERED (3.8L V6 engine), POOR FUEL ECONOMY (13.4 MPG observed over 6 years of driving). Summary: My wife has driven this minivan for 99,000 miles and it’s literally falling apart. The exhaust manifold cracked and needed expensive replacement at just over 70,000 miles. The car leaked transmission fluid for almost 2 years (never properly diagnosed or repaired by the dealer). The engine currently sounds like a poorly-made sewing machine. This vehicle has been in the shop 8 times in the past 6 years (for other than routine maintenance). In contrast, my 2000 BMW has only been in the shop 3 times (for minor repairs) over the same 6-year period. My wife is currently looking for a new vehicle and we haven’t even considered buying another Chrysler product. We expected much more from a vehicle that costs over $30K. We’ll probably end up purchasing a much more reliable Japanese brand holds its value longer. I hope “Dr. Z” is improving the reliability of his newer vehicles! |

Does anyone know if Chrysler will have any incentives in or October, I wanted to possibly buy this weekend but the current ones end on Wednesday. I am willing to wait.

Replying to: denamurray (Aug 28, 2006 11:05 am) There are so many competitors in the minivan market, with the Korean brands jumping in now also, that good pricing for the Chrysler twins is likely to continue. If you are patient, this is especially true. |
