I'm the type that keeps a vehicle for at least ten years (otherwise why buy new?) and probably won't put that many miles on per year so the lifetime warranty is worth something to me. I also don't mind the need for routine maintenance as they really only want to cover their manufacturing/design flaws and not the lack of care on the part of the owner.
 
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.

The family discount question the other day had me puzzled. The only two discount programs Chrysler currently offers is the EP (Employee Purchase) and PP (Preferred Pricing - aka Friends).
 
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.

If you are just considering about buying one, don't waste my time or yours.
 
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.

Thanks for the answer. I wasn't sure exactly how the program worked. When I was car shopping a few years ago the uncle offered to get me a discount, but since they weren't selling what I wanted I didn't follow up to find out more.
 
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.

tedebear, I sent rmbalisa my information after he wrote the "don't waste my time or yours" post and he's never gotten back to me. Actually he hasn't even logged back in since I sent him the message with my info. I'm hauling my kids from MN to FL at the end of March and WILL be doing it in a new van. I'd appreciate it if you could get me a number. I'll even send you a picture of 4 very happy little kids in the new van!
 
Even if you can't get me a number your posts have been very helpful, thanks.

Flanders,
 
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.

Delivery time? by deirdref

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.

2008 T&C Incentive Package Changes? by bdpstl
Feb 10, 2008 (10:05 am)

Does anyone have an educated guess or insider knowledge of upcoming dealer interest rate incentives that will be offered? I have decided on leasing the T&C, but can't bring myself to commit on the cash rebate alone. I did see on automotive.com that Chrysler is offering a 5.3% on a 36 month lease but want to wait until it gets to the 3% range. How long do you think I'll have to wait? Advice?
