Besides checking the TMV in the Used Cars section, try asking over in Real-World Trade-In Values.   Steve, Host
#38 of 1323 Latest Prices on Dodge Caravan SXT by bluetrainstop Mar 20, 2004 (9:24 pm)
Anyone bought or priced a 2004 Dodge Caravan SXT lately. I looked in Edmunds and found invoice with destination for 22,805. I got a price from dealer for 21,300 plus tax and 179 processing fees and 70 dmv total was 22,551 minus 2000 cash rebate with 0% financing and additional 1000.00 added to our trade in of 1998 Carvan with 76400 miles on it. I looked at TMV price on edmunds and its 22,565 less incentives. That's only $14 dollars more than my price. Shouldn't I be getting a better deal with the 2005 coming out and the state of car sales right now.

TMV reflects what the average buyer is paying. An educated consumer should be able to beat it; since you are at Edmunds, you aren't average   I haven't seen any sales numbers recently, but my gut feeling is that car sales are down. And the '05's are hitting the dealers. Then again, interest rates remain low, and the consumer bubble is still going strong, so maybe the vans aren't piling up?   Often the end of the month is a good time to deal, so you may want to push hard in another week or so. Good luck!   Steve, Host

Edmunds TMV prices never include sales tax and processing fees, so you are comparing your cost with sales tax with Edmunds TMV without sales tax and without processing fees.   Looks like you beat Edmunds TMV. However, once you put a trade in vehicle into the mix, you never really know how good a deal you got unless you can determine that the trade in they are giving you is reasonable. Best way to deal in this situation is initially make your best deal without a trade in, then bring up the trade in as the last item. Then you will be able to figure out what they are offering on the trade in by the difference in price.

Just picked up 2004 T&C LX list 29460 . We paid around $20000 after the 1% below invoice quote and the $4500 rebate plus I managed to get about $5500 out of a 97 Dodge Ram Conversion . So far nice vehicle , Inferno Red with towing package , 3.3 liter . Had some concerns about the 4 speed obviously but after researching this , alot of problems seem to have been fixed starting in the 2001 model year with these . Talked to mechanics at the dealer and they said they haven't replaced one yet on a 2001 or newer minivan . The 7/70000 also helped with the decision .

We decided to check prices on a 2005 T&C while on vacation in North Carolina. We couldn't pass up the deal on a 2005 Touring edition with 3.8 liter engine. Clothe instead of leather and no other frills (no dvd-much to the kids disapointment). We traded in a 99 Dodge Caravan with 99K miles. The final price (with taxes, title, etc.) was 24,000 even. Our payments over 60 months are only $21 more than when we bought the caravan. On the way home we didn't get that far because they forgot to tighten the spare. It was flapping around in the breeze and made it sound like we had a flat. We got home (20 hours later) and the arm rest fell off one of the middle captain's chairs. They also forgot to bolt it on completely. Minor inconveniences that I can deal with in light of the deal I got. Drives much nicer than the caravan and with so much extra storage, we ditched our circa 1980 car top carrier. Didn't need it.
#43 of 1323 Getting a 2005 T&C or Caravan shortly by dcsupplier May 13, 2004 (6:08 pm)
My job qualifies me for the D-C Affiliate Rewards program mentioned previously. 1% under invoice + any incentives. I couldn't afford the '04s that were left, even with the 3500 incentives and such.   With the loan my credit rating has afforded me, I will be sticking with the base model T&C or the Caravan SXT(SWB's both). I would love the 3.8l but can't afford the models it comes in. With the program and incentives, I should get a decent ride for around 19500. I need to hop into both models and see how the two compare to each other in a test drive. I have a feeling the T&C will feel more luxurious(of course) and the SXT more sporty. I'll just have to see which one wins me over.   Ohh - considering an extended warranty. Their cost is negotiable, anyone know how much I should pay for one? 3/4 retail, 1/2 retail or what? Maybe state the transmission issue and ask to get it free or else I'll buy a Toyota???
#44 of 1323 Which is the better deal? by andy1 May 16, 2004 (3:06 am)
After a lot of haranguing around, I have two firm offers. It has come down to a 2004 (New) Chrysler T%C Touring and a 2002 Toyota Sienna XLE with 38000 miles. The Sienna is offered at $21350, warrsnty $800. The T&C is $23000 flat, and new car warranty. No trade in. The Sienna looks new.   Which is the better choice?

#46 of 1323 Question for coach td by andy1 May 17, 2004 (2:52 am)
HI Coach   THat's a good deal! Did you have a trade in? Are you an employee of Chrysler? What sort of discount does that give you? Thanks Andy Replies to this message: coachtd (May 17, 2004 3:04 am)
