Replying to: rmbalisa (Dec 03, 2007 9:37 am) I don't know that there is that much of a difference in the EC versus the Friends programs. For instance, the Friends discount is a fixed 1% below factory invoice, plus any rebates, but I don't think the EC is a fixed percentage. As an example, I just configured a 2008 T&C Limited with no other options using each program on the employee website. The results are listed below. All prices include the $730 destination charge. 2008 Town & Country Limited MSRP: $36,400 Invoice price (from Edmunds): $32,496 EC program price: $32,320 Friends program price: $32,908 The EC price does not include a $200 program fee, added by the dealer. There is no extra fee for the Friends program. After adding the $200 fee the difference between the two discount programs is $488. There is an additional $1,500 rebate currently available that would be subtracted from each of the above prices. I have two Friends program discounts left for 2007. |

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 07, 2007 5:07 pm) Oops...the Edmunds invoice price didn't include the $730 destination, in case anyone was wondering why the Friends discount was more than the invoice. It looks like Chrysler subtracts the 1% before adding the destination charge. Also, the price difference is $388 between the EC and Friends, not $488 as I originally said when you factor in the $200 program fee. That's what I get for trying to do 6 things at the same time and I don't notice these things until after the 1/2 hour message edit window has passed.  While I'm here, the difference in price on the EC versus the Friends for a 2008 Sebring Limited with an MSRP of around $29,900 is less than $200. It varies by vehicle, not a fixed percentage on the EC. |

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 07, 2007 5:07 pm) ) and I was just about to give up and purchase a used vehicle instead. My determined decision to go with the 2008 Town & Country was based on the swivel n go feature, but since that's not available on last year's, I was starting to teeter towards another maker. Would I possible be able to get a Friends Program Discount, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Replying to: hulamom (Dec 07, 2007 6:07 pm) I'll send you email to your carspace.com address after I get home from work in about 7.5 more hours. The company firewall lets me get on the forums but not to my mailbox for some reason. The control number is valid until the end of 2007, so be sure you want to use it before the end of the year. I'm almost out of discounts. If you want to, go to chrysler.com and click on the Build My Own link. Make a note of every option, including the color, that you want and post it. I'll tell you the exact Friends discount price. Also, include your zip code or region if you want accurate rebate info included. Rebates vary by region.

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 07, 2007 6:21 pm) I'm a current owner of a 99JXI and a 2000T&C. The T&C has about 135k on the odometer. The T&C is our main family vehicle and hopefully will be replaced by a 2008T&C within the month. I'd appreciate if you would provide a friends number for me to apply to this anticipated purchase. Thanks, 99jxi |

Hi All - Here is as far as I am getting after about ten days of working things a little at a time with the dealer, who have been nice to deal with. Touring M package Premium sound Swivel & go Power 3rd row Sirius backseat TV MSRP 35,985 Deal looks like this: Pull ahead program for our 2005 Grand Caravan SXT with 2 more payments and the $275 out. Maybe a couple of chargeable blemishes. All being "waived". Sell price on 2008 is 32,200 First payment only out of pocket 36 month lease .00198 MF 55% residual $449/mo After all the great input and nice people here I figured I'd run it by you all to see what you think and if I have done well. |

Replying to: slackjaw (Dec 08, 2007 11:53 am) Does that price include the current $1,500 rebate? I've never leased a vehicle so I couldn't offer any opinion on the rest of what you listed. I mentioned the Friends discount price on the above vehicle is $30,969, including the rebate. This evening I was checking a price for someone else and there is something new that popped up called Bonus Cash, in the amount of $500. Chrysler says it is valid for anyone who finances through Chrysler Financial.

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 08, 2007 10:11 pm) You are correct on the additional $500 if you finance a purchase through Chrysler Financial. I got tired of messing around with the lease deals so went to purchase with cash last night. Instead, I got the additional $500 for financing with CF and will pay the car off in full next week. Here is my deal. 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING Customer Preferred Package 25M MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System w/ Navigation SIRIUSŪ BackSeat TV MSRP $35,400 EC price $31,516 (31316+200) Rebates -$2,500 ($1500 factory rebate, $500 CF rebate, $500 Coupon I got in the mail) Final Selling Price $29,016 + tax and tags Thanks to tedebear and rmbalisa for helping me get this amazing deal. BTW, Salerno Duane Chrysler in Summit NJ is a fantastic dealership to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone. The best car buying experience I've ever had by far. Prior to working with them I had walked out of two other dealerships in the NJ/PA area. |
