Replying to: natibug (Feb 06, 2008 9:09 pm) 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. |

Replying to: natibug (Feb 06, 2008 9:09 pm) 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? |

Replying to: natibug (Feb 06, 2008 9:09 pm) Also, when I looked over the specifics, I didn't remember the requirement as every 3K oil changes, but more like 15K or 30K free dealer inspections. I'll have to look again.  Anyway can anyone answer the family discount question for me? I have an uncle who works for Chrysler so I think I might be able to get the EC from him  , but before I continue my research or bother him, I'd like to know how much the difference is.

Replying to: yatesjo (Feb 07, 2008 1:57 pm) The following is a list of who can purchase a vehicle under the Employee Purchase plan: All Chrysler active full-time and part-time Employees/Retirees. Immediate family members including spouse, same-sex domestic partners,* parents, parents-in-law, stepparents, sons/daughters, sons/daughters-in-law, stepchildren, brothers/sisters, brothers/sisters-in-law, half brothers/sisters, grandchildren and grandparents. The EP discount varies by region. Your uncle could look up the discount price for your zip code online. The Friends discount price is 1% below invoice. You can look up the invoice price on Edmunds. The EP is a slightly better discount but is very limited as to who can use it. Any current rebates or other price incentives are subtracted from the EP or PP discount price for even greater savings.

Replying to: rmbalisa (Jan 26, 2008 4:00 am) I see I'm not the only one. Out of the 21 discounts I've personally given out (not including the dozen or so through co-workers) since last September only 6 have been used. When someone uses their number the date they bought the vehicle appears in my registered buyer database. That means 15 other buyers who could have used these missed out because I didn't have any numbers left. If you're ready to close the deal let me know and I'll TRT to get yu a number. Otherwise, it's just wasting everyone's time and costing other people lots of money.

Replying to: tedebear (Feb 07, 2008 3:07 pm) 1% below invoice doesn't sound like much of a discount to me since I was able to do better than that on the last two cars I bought just by negotiating with the dealers. I'm still doing my research work and haven't figured out how far down I can negotiate the Toyota or Honda minivans. Still, as I said I like some of the options I only saw on the T&C/GC and I like the looks too. |

Replying to: flanders140 (Feb 07, 2008 7:32 pm) Send me a PM with the required info and I'll see if I can get one for you by tomorrow. I'm all out of numbers and a few of my reliable co-worker contacts have used their 6 up but I'll ask around. |

| Has anyone ordered a T&C from the factory lately? We ordered one 2 weeks ago and I'm just wondering about how long they're taking to be built/ delivered. We were told about 4 weeks. It's a Limited. | |
