tedebear-
 
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.

You got a smoking deal. I'd be in a lease right now if I was offered this deal. Instead, I got jerked around by sales reps who jacked up the money factor and lowered the residual when they found out I got special pricing on the car. Ultimately, I'm happy with my deal and the fact that we decided to purchase. If you are set on leasing, this is a good deal. I hope you took it.

Shouldn't the lease rates be pretty uniform from Chrysler Financial, at least for a specific region? I'm worried the dealer may try to change that up on me like you said -- would it be worthwhile calling up CF directly? Thanks for any advice.

Yes they should be pretty standard across the board but most Sales Managers can and will try and screw you from my experience. He would not budge off of 51% residual and .0027 money factor. I told him I already got a 52% residual and .00168 form another dealership the day before and he said 'that was yesterday. sounds like you had a good deal. you should have taken it.' My 6yr old was crying and his lower lip was actually quivering. The sales manager asked 'is your son cold?' I said 'no, he's crying because he wants a new minivan' and we left. I called CF and they will not help you. They just say you need to work with the dealership. My next step was to try and contact a regional sales office but I never got that far. The features we wanted were pretty hard to come by and I guess they knew it. I only found 2 dealerships within 50miles that had cars that we were interested in. That was until yesterday when we found one at Salerno in Summit. They were awesome and had the deal done in less than 90 minutes from walking through the door for the first time.
 
Finding a stand up dealership like Salerno is the exception not the rule from my experience. If I were to do it all over again. I would not disclose that I had EP or PP pricing until the last possible moment. Negotiate off MSRP and get the lease payment as low as possible by getting money factor as low as possible and residual as high as possible. After locking in those numbers then whip out your code.

Thanks for recommending Salerno in Summit. Do you remember who you worked with? The other week I went to Warnock in E. Hanover and even though the guy was friendly they really tried to screw me on my trade in. I think my mistake was mentioning the code before getting a price on the trade in. They gave me the same BS excuse that they're not making any money on this sale so they can't really work with me on the price. So this time I'm not going to mention anything about the code until they tell me how much they're giving me for my car.

I will send a message to your carspace mailbox. The rules ask that we do not post names of salespeople.

I'm all out of EC and Friends discounts for the rest of 2007.
 
You might try some of the other Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep forums. Many Chrysler workers are also Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep owners. The discount is good on nearly every vehicle they sell.

Hi guys
 
First off thanks to Mr.Tedebear for friends program.
I finally signed a contract with my local dealer for this car and here is the rundown.
 
             2008 T&C Touring Brilliant Black
$27700 25k package ( base touring )
$2395 Dual DVD Entertainment system
$495 Swivel n Go seating
$250 Front heated seat
$250 2nd row heated seat
 
MSRP $31820 + Tax + TTL
 
FP Program Price $29513 + Tax + TTL
Less $1500 Manufacturer rebate
 
Total Paid
$28013 + Tax + TTL
 
I know its not the most awesome deal out there but I think this is where I did pretty well.
 
Im trading in a Nissan Xterra 2001 with 73000 miles with some minor defect ( rattling sounds , minor cosmetic damage , non working AC/Heater at dial 1,2,3, only works at maximum dial of 4 )
I priced this vehicle in KBB trade in value at $7600 excellent , $7000 good , $6000 fair.
Knowing my car is in a fair condition , I just asked the dealer for $6000 trade in value and they AGREED!!
I heard everywhere its impossible to get KBB trade in value when you actually deal with the dealers..
 
I also got 6.14% 60month financing.
 
so what do you experts think of my deal?
I dont think I got ripped off but do you think I could have done better?
