The dealer we have in the DC area gave us a price <$400 below invoice and the vehicle is only partially loaded. So, I say, your deal is at least better than ours. Actually, since we are both looking for fully loaded T&C Limited in the DC area, you want to check with your dealer if he/she can give both of us the "best" deal if we both buy from him/her? I will be up for it. Let me know. Jane

The stumbling block right now is price, trade or no trade.
 
Ask them if they'll sell it to you at the Friends price if you bring in a number. Then ask them what the Friends price is and verify it with what it says on Edmunds.
 
If everything looks okay get with the other person on here who says he has some numbers left and go for it.
 
Remember, the Friends price is 1% below invoice and any rebates or other price incentives are subtracted from that for even more savings.
 
If you're anywhere within 300 miles or so of the St. Louis area I can give you the number of a salesman who will deal straight with you and also get you the vehicle you want. Decide if it's worth the cost of a tank or two of gas for the amount you'd save on the purchase.

I sent my info to the other person with the available discounts and haven't gotten a reply. I guess I'd rather have the number before even mentioning it to the dealer.

Hi, Chris,
I recently bought a 2008 Chrysler T&C Touring, Stow-n-Go, silver, leather heated front and second fow seats, FWD, back up camera, and many other gadgets. As of today, it has 1,500 mi on it. There is nothing wrong with this minivan, but this is not the car I need since I'm single, and most likely, I will get rid of it soon.
I live in Brooklyn, NY. If you are interested in please contact me. Mark

What are the limits on a family discount? How much more does the family discount save over a friends discount?
 
I'll admit to having reservations about Chrysler reliability especially when comparing to Toyota and Honda. However many features on the new Chrysler/Dodge vans have my attention and the lifetime power train combined with a good enough price point will overcome those reservations.

jkptam,
 
We decided not to go with the Town and Country (although not because of the price). The good deal that I mentioned was available at DarCars Waldorf.

Do not think that the Lifetime Powertrain is so great. I thought so too, but after siging on my new T&C today, come to find out you have to maintain records of everything done to the vehicle including oil changes, and they are required to be done every 3,000 miles. If this is not done, then the warranty is probably out the window. To top that off, even if you do all the documentation and all, if you sell the vehicle, the warranty does not pass to the new owners. So lifetime? I think not.

Still a good deal if you plan on keeping it for any length of time. And if you then decide to sell it, you'll have all the records so the new buyer can see it was maintained properly, helping with resale, making it easier to sell etc..I'm sure they have some "window" for oil changes, and keeping oil change receipts etc...is something everyone should do. If you buy an extended warranty for another vehicle, you'd have same requirements probably and transferring it usually costs the buyer money.
 
My first new car was a 1983 Chevy Cavalier. I changed the oil every 3000 miles by myself (in the days before jiffy lube etc..). I put 180,000 trouble free miles on that car.... changing oil, new brakes, exhaust, plugs and had to replace the starter. There's a good reason for performing maintenance.
 
My Dodge dealer is always sending me coupons for $19 oil changes. At my last oil change, they had to perform a service bulletin for airbag sensor and had me leave car instead of waiting. When I picked it up later, they told me during their inspection they perform for all oil changes, they found out my outer tie rods were shot (due to Michigan's very poor pot holed "roads") and since my 3 year warranty (2005 GC) was up in 3 days, they fixed them for me then and there - under warranty.

if you sell the vehicle, the warranty does not pass to the new owners. So lifetime? I think not.
 
It is lifetime to the original owner - it clearly says that right in the warranty that anyone is welcome to read before they purchase. The warranty details are even posted right on the chrysler.com website.
 
You may be asked to show proof of regular oil changes or other maintenance if a problem occurs years down the road but since the manual specifies maintenance at specific intervals I don't see what the problem is. You wouldn't expect Chrysler to give someone a free brand new engine if they hadn't changed the oil in 20,000 miles and it stopped working because of that, would you?
