Replying to: nanwar786 (Dec 09, 2007 10:04 pm) membername  carspace.com 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?

Replying to: vex321 (Dec 11, 2007 6:40 pm) FP Program Price $29513 + Tax + TTL Less $1500 Manufacturer rebate Total Paid $28013 + Tax + TTL Hmm...did the dealer show you the actual invoice price sheet? The reason I'm asking is that I just configured a 2008 T&C Touring with the 25K package and all the options you listed via the employee discount website. The MSRP came out exactly the same but the discount price is different. Here's what I had: MSRP: $31,820 EC: $26,848 Friends: $27,340 The two discount prices shown above include the current $1,500 rebate and $730 destination but not tax or TTL. Add a $200 program fee to the EC price. Here's what Chrysler says about the discount prices on the employee website: Employee Price Discount is provided as an estimate only. Actual Employee Pricing may be found on the dealer invoice. I know they say what I posted is an estimate. I could maybe see a few dollars but that's a $673 difference. Just trying to make sure you didn't overpay. Maybe I'm missing something - it's been a long day at the office.  You didn't mention any dealer add-ons, such as tinted glass, stripes, etc. That would increase the price and they are popular high profit additions. Also, they can tack on up to a $75 documentation fee. Demand to see the invoice if you didn't already. Look for the PP price code on the sheet. That's the Friends price before any rebate or dealer add-ons. Anyway, did you get your "I need to be the coolest DAD right away!" award?

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 11, 2007 7:27 pm) Thanks for the reply You definately helped in getting me the coolest dad of the year award lol Infact they did show me the invoice with the price and it confirmed to the amount which I have wrote here. I guess depending on the dealer and location of the dealer , the price can be a few hundre dollars off. I dont think I will sweat it over a few hundred dollars since I am getting a 6 grand trade in for my car. Most people tell me that Im doing great if I get the lowest value on KBB when actually trading in any vehicle In regards to the dealer addon , if I already have an invoice stating this price I guess there wont be any additional? I have a contract for this amount so is it legal for them to provide me another invoice? p.s. Just one quick question. does anyone know if the premium center console can be dealer installed? I just noticed that 25k package does not include this and this was one of my wifes favorite features lol |

Replying to: vex321 (Dec 12, 2007 5:10 am) Wow, I just learned something about the employee discounts. I had thought the price was the same, no matter what part of the country the buyer was in. I played around with various zip codes and the EC and Friends discounts changed, even though the MSRP stayed the same. The prices I listed yesterday were based on a zip code in the St. Louis area. If you saw the actual invoice from the dealer and verified that it was the same as what they charged you then I'd say everything should be okay. In regards to the dealer addon , if I already have an invoice stating this price I guess there wont be any additional? Whatever price is on the sales contract is what they agreed to sell it to you for. I don't know if there were any dealer add-ons before you signed the contract but they cannot go in now, add something without your consent, and then change the price. I'm sure the kids will love that dual DVD. I saw one in the showroom and it really looked nice.

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 12, 2007 2:31 pm) Thanks always for your kind help! It seems that you are the only person active on this part of the forum lol I guess that difference of 600 bucks came due to the fact that I am in NY ( everything is more expensive here ) and you based it out of st.louis As I have stated before , its no biggie. I only have one kid at the moment and one more coming soon but I feel like I can handle upto 4 with the 08 T&C Im sure my wife would mind though lol Anyway thanks again and Ill be picking my car up this sunday!! Cant wait!! ( Im more excited than my 3yr old lol ) |

Replying to: tedebear (Dec 12, 2007 2:31 pm) The dual Screens are great especially with Sirius backseat TV. My wife drives 4 of the neighborhood kids to the bus stop 2 mornings during the week. They fight over the 2nd row heated seats but once they settle down they hang out and watch cartoons on Cartoon Network until the bus arrives.

Replying to: jackals (Dec 12, 2007 3:01 pm) I have one quick question though Not sure if anyone will know the answer being that the car is so new but I thought Id give it a shot The car that Im getting does not have the premium centre console and remote engine start. Does anyone know if that can be dealer installed? In case of the remote engine start , is it possible to have it without adding another control to your existing alarm? ( I hate carrying two alarms for one car...) Thanks in advance! |

I have been pricing a TC Limited and live close to the border of Illinois and Indiana. The incentives are better in Indiana than in Illinois. Illinois has a $1,500 cash allowance but Indiana has a $2,000 plus $500. Has anyone else ran into this and will I be able to take the better deal if my home address is in Illinois? Also I have heard of a $500 discount coupon from Chrysler, does anyone know how to get it?
