Replying to: joejr303 (Mar 02, 2008 8:06 pm) I got the part number from the one that came with our 2006 Limited.You should have received one.The factory equipment code AHT is the same factory code now as it was in 2006. I order the trailer prep package on every Minivan we buy. We do not tow anything,but I like it when we load it up, and the automatic rear leveling kicks in so the rear end sits level.

My wife has informed me that we will be buying a new T&C as soon as practical. Can anyone give me insight into what difference the timing makes for a purchase? Should I wait till the end of the month or till the next major holiday to get the best price? Also, has anyone used the AAA buying service? Did you get a good deal? In the past I was a Delphi employee so i never had to negotiate prices on anything. I am a bit overwhelmed. BTG |

Replying to: tedebear (Mar 02, 2008 10:57 am) I was looking at the contract for our current lease which was also bought under the EC program in February 2006. The dealer has the fees posted on a dealer work sheet that I have.I do not know how I got it,but I do. It has all the numbers. It is showing the 75.00 fee which is OK. It is showing a 700.00 acqusition fee.I was wondering if this is legit?I did order the Van,so I am not sure what this is. Also,there is a DMV prep fee of 160.00 plus another 23.00 for tittle and tag fee and transfer.Do you know if the 700.00 and the 160.00 fees were legit under the EC program in February 2006? These amounts are on the dealer work sheet.The dollar amount is showing up on the purchase agreement (hidden) but are not itemized. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. FYI- This is a dealer in MI that is near Chrysler HQ.

I just noticed that there are some 2008 T&C Signature's hitting the lots with an increased base price. Option pricing appears to be unchanged. New Base: 28,210 Old Base: 27,895 Price increase= +315 Interestingly the 'Build My Own' section on Chrysler.com still shows 27,895 base. Can any Chrysler insiders confirm if this is an across the board increase on all T&C models. Is this just T&C or are all Chrysler & Dodge vehicles going up? Kind of surprising considering sales numbers are way down and high incentives/low price seem to be the only way to get people to consider buying right now.

Replying to: ordered1208 (Mar 05, 2008 6:03 am) Also,there is a DMV prep fee of 160.00 plus another 23.00 for tittle and tag fee and transfer.Do you know if the 700.00 and the 160.00 fees were legit under the EC program in February 2006? The only difference in the EC plan way back then was there was no $200 program fee. I don't know about those two fees. A DMV prep fee? I'm not sure what kind of prep is needed for the DMV. All I did was stop by the DMV branch and pay the sales tax and license. There was no prep fee from the dealer but this is for Missouri. Also, the $700 acquisition fee sounds suspicious but I've never ordered a vehicle under the EC plan. I put a call in to my straight shooting Chrysler sales guy and am waiting for him to call me back on this. I'll let you know what he says. |

Most banks charge an acquisition fee on a lease.. The money goes to the bank (think.. mortgage application fee).. I don't know Chrysler Finance's usual fee, but $700 sounds about right... |

Replying to: tedebear (Mar 02, 2008 8:07 am) Does that mean no destination charges? or does that mean no additional fees added on top of (invoice -1%) + dest + $75 program fee? Can anyone who recently purchased using friends discount confirm?

Replying to: phred84044 (Mar 02, 2008 6:15 pm) Where is the extra $750 of the incentives coming from? I see the $1500 rebate + extra $1000 for lessees, but haven't seen the extra $750 published. Is this marketing support or would that be in addition to any marketing support? Thanks

Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 05, 2008 8:00 pm) Correct. The destination charge is part of the MSRP on the window sticker. Refer to it as the Monroney label in front of a salesman if you want to impress them.  Also, the $75 is a documentation fee. There is no program fee for the Friends discount. The discount is approximately 1% below invoice, so don't look up the invoice on Edmunds and go into the dealership with an exact dollar on paper and tell them that's what you're supposed to pay. The Friends discount is printed right on the invoice - look for the PP (Preferred Pricing) code.
