#41 of 1565 2004 Town and Country by Vipergg Mar 27, 2004 (9:01 am)
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 1565 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 1565 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 1565 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)
#47 of 1565 Re: Question for coach td [andy1 #46] by coachtd May 17, 2004 (3:04 am)
Replying to: andy1 (May 17, 2004 2:52 am) It was an employee discount (my mother-in-law works for Jeep). $1000 rebate, $500 C.Financial Bonus Cash. The dealer near me matched an add for $1000 dealer cash. Along with the $1000 I put down. Good Luck!

Replying to: prlady1 (May 18, 2004 5:52 pm) Hi This is andy1. Here is the deal I got for my 2004 T&C touring so maybe this will qualify for your report, maybe not. It was $31815 list,new with warranty. They wanted to move them off the lot so they offered 23486, final price 23000. No trade in, no rebate. I put 4000 down. It looks like when people say "out the door" they mean the price with whatever down payment they paid, so if you figure that in the price was $19000. Financing with Chrylser at 4%. In my case, timing was everything, as just the Friday before (this was a Monday) the offer was 24315.   I think I got a great deal. I dont want or need fold in the floor seats so I dont miss that feature of the 2005s. I agree with most of the reviews about the lack of some fairly standard features, but again, most of them I dont really need. My kids are grown so this is my car - I am 51 and this is not for my wife, my kids, but for me. For my wants and needs it is almost perfect.   I looked at mid-size SUVs, other minivans, and crossovers such as the Malibu Maxx, and the T&C fit me the best. I would have liked the 2005 Sienna, but the outright deceptive pricing from Toyota quickly drives that way out of reach in terms of price. To get even basic features you are quickly looking at $26000, and the $23000 I paid for the T&C stretches my budget as it is. I also had a good offer for a used Odyssey, but my son, who is bigger than I am (I am 6'4") could not fit in the front passenger seat due to the depth of the glove compartment. So the deal I got on a new T&C worked out well for me.   After the first 500 miles, I think I love this car. I just hope the reliability reports are wrong in my case! Its black with black and grey interior so the "soccer Mom" thing is alleviated quite a bit. As my wife said, "You want something that you can haul your stuff, your family, and your dog...all at the same time." With this car, I think I have it.   So if this qualifies, let me know.   And thanks again to coachtd and dusty.
#50 of 1565 2005 T&C Touring by harry Jun 17, 2004 (6:49 am)
Just purchased a 2005 T&C Touring. It has no options. Dealer had to get it from another dealer. Sticker was $27750. The deal I got was $25600 - $1000 rebate - $1000 Chrysler financial rebate + $125 Doc Fee = $23725. This is basically invoice - rebates. I didn't have a trade to get any of the additional $1000. Edmunds TMV is $24442 after rebates and Carsdirect.com's target price is $24974. How does this compare to anyone else? Had an offer at another dealer for $23343 for a silver one they had on their lot but my wife wanted a Butane Blue Pearl Coat one. This dealer tried charging me $500 to locate a Butane Blue one.
