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. |

I am buying a brand new 2006 T&C touring, just notice it's manufacture date is 09/05. Is this normal or not? considering it's out for 1 year already, could there be something bad about the long time parked? Thanks |

I live 75miles south of Rockford Illinois I was wondering what kind of prices to expect on 2006 T&C LX and limited. This will be our fist minivan purchase currently have 04 cadillac cts and the only option I really care about is side airbags,room, and leather. Does anyone suggest a certain model? And should I wait until Oct to see if incentives are better? Right now we have 0%APR for 72 months!

Replying to: bogz11 (Sep 10, 2006 2:31 pm) There might not be many choices in leftover 2006 models if you wait until October, though Chrysler may give the dealers more incentives to unload them the longer you wait. Also, you could consider checking the Dodge dealers as well, since Grand Caravan is a twin of Town and Country.

Replying to: bogz11 (Sep 10, 2006 2:31 pm) I'd wait until November to buy. Last Nov was a great time to get an 07 model, but I tihnk Jan & Feb of this year were the best. There was $5k on the table for 2006 models, more than the $4k even now that 2007's are hitting the lots.
