Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 05, 2008 9:07 pm) Chrysler added an additional incentive during the last week of February on GC's and T&C's. An additional $750 was available if you were a returning Chrysler cusomter (any Chrylser, Jeep, Dodge product) or if you were a returning minivan segment customer (another competitor's minivan). This additional incentive never showed up on any of the typical incentive locations (Chrysler website, Edmunds, etc.) The $750 additional incentive must have carried over to March because I've been working a deal over the past several weeks and the dealer yesterday said the total rebates were still $3,250 so I guess it carried over into March.

Replying to: tedebear (Mar 05, 2008 10:09 pm) One more question in regards to: Documentation fees are allowable under the respective governing State in which the vehicle is titled. Documentation fees may not exceed those normally charged on any other sales transaction. In regards to the friends program, does this mean they can charge $75 + their standard doc fee or is the doc fee capped  $75? Does anyone have any recent examples of Friends discount amounts - specifically on the Sig series? Thanks

Did this apply to both purchases and leases or just to leases?

Replying to: cheapdad000 (Mar 06, 2008 9:22 pm) Lease Terms-36 months, 53% residual, .00129 Money Factor MSRP-$30,925 Friends Price (Zip 84074)-$28588 Chrysler Financial Acquisition Fee-$700 Gross Cap Cost-$29288 Rebates-$3,250 ($1,000 lease cash, $1,500 lease loyalty, $750 minivan segment bonus cash) Down Payment-$1,500 Payment-$315.03 ($296.36 base + $18.67 tax) No dealer doc fee, negotiated $200 in free service (which the Sales Manager will now cut me a check for), full tank of gas, no dealer stickers or emblems. Dealer was Quality Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep in Tooele, Utah. Very good to work with--no pressure, all fees waived (except Chrysler acquisition fee, license & registration) and excellent salesperson. We were expecting $324 payment but my wife and I were pleasantly surprised that the F&I guy told us $315. Thanks Tedebear for your help!!!

Sorry to be such a car-buying idiot, but I am surprised at how many of the posts here look to be lease rather than buy. Is that the better deal right now? I am almost embarrassed to admit it, but after years of driving a Town & Country, last July in a fit of irritation at my local dealer and their AWFUL service department, I bought a new 2007 Odyssey. I HATE it! I know I am not supposed to, as a good yuppie, certified soccer mom I am supposed to adore the Odyssey, but there are SO many things about it that are less convenient and/or comfortable than a Town and Country. The one good thing -- at less than a year old, it has a high resale value, lol, so unbelieveably, I am considering trading it in for a new T&C. I wanted to get a decent idea of the prices before I tell my husband.  . I would be going for a Touring with something like the 25L package. I appreciate any advice! Anna

I'm looking to buy a T&c in the next few weeks before my parents come into town. Would appreciate any help. Thanks |

I have been quoted a fair price on a 2008 T&C but my wife an I are having an issue with the rear entertainment system. It seems that when the system is in use and the screens down it makes the rear view mirror unusable. The screens actually block the view of the driver out of the back of the van. has anyone else noticed this? I see no comments anywhere.

Replying to: ifsandbuts (Mar 07, 2008 9:25 pm) My point is that I now believe leasing is a better deal that purchasing. I realize that there are many pros and cons on this subject. The current lease incentives include $1,500 plus $1,000 owner loyalty and $500 bonus. Some of these are also avaiable on a purchase. If I purchase I would have to keep it at least 5 years and there is no 0% financing for that long. My payments would be high and I probably would not have much equity at that time. Also remember that in 3 years there could be many more fuel efficient vehicles out there to choose from. Just wanted to pass these thoughts along. Good luck and do not buy or lease one without the Signature package. They are now calling it, "It's a New Day Package". They are expecting that 25% of the orders will be for that package. It is a no brainer. |
