Look up the Durango you want used with about 16000 miles on it (kbb.com and nada.com). (The 44000 model probably wholesales for 25000 year 1 is my guess) Durango is the valedictorian for depreciation.
Anyway, take the 1 year used wholesale price and add 15-20% for a good deal on a new one. that probably puts us around 29-30000 purchase price.
 
A good lease deal on something in this range is about 300-400+/mo for a 36 month 15000mi/yr lease with taxes (7%) included and little money down. Notice the big range as most lease deals are not attractive, and true finance rates with banks can vary widely. (leases are meant to be fleeces) You may be a into the 450+ range with the Durango with those terms due to the depreciation. As you can see, your deal ($650/mo) is nothing to write home about. (which isn't surprising) This assumes you have good credit.
 
If you must lease (own your own business) Email 10-30 dealers end of month (dodge website) for payment quotes with your specs, fact you are contacting 20 dealers and your criteria (no money down 15k 36 mo inc taxes etc) Work the top 3-4 bidders against one another via cellphone. Perhaps get direct purchase prices too. Calculate what a direct 30k purchase with your credit union's 5.x percent or so rate would be for 3-4 years. Compare it to the lease.
 
If the lowest you have heard so far is your survey walking into 2-3 dealerships or reading some ads you may be in for some fun as the Durango moves like lead and you may be able to work a very low deal.

Hello,
  
I am looking at a loaded 2007 Durango Limited Loaded...
  
44310 MSRP
  
40275 My negotiated price before rebates
  
7500 Rebates
  
2000 cash down
  
16395 residual
  
The monthly payment quoted is 580.00.
  
Is this a good deal? Or am I in trouble here. This is the lowest I have heard so far. Other monthly quotes with similar numbers are $590 - $ 600 a month.
  
Please advise...
  
Thank You,

Thank you for the reply. I guess I will have to wait till the old end of the month to get a better deal. I have e-mailed 6 dealers so far and the $580 a month is the best I have seen.
 
Wait and see mode now I guess...
 
Thanks again...

#90 of 149 buying a new durango by armchair_q_bac

Dec 03, 2007 (7:39 pm)

I will be buying a new 07 or 08 durango in the next couple of weeks, any advice on how to get the best price? I have a supplier discount through my work that really knocks the price down, but now I hear that it is possible to get an employee discount number. Does anyone have one they are willing to part with or any info on how to get one? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Forget about the marketing gimmmicks and email 10-20 dealers for bids towards end of month. The 32000msrp 06 durango 4x4 barely wholesales for 17000, making it the leader in depreciation from msrp. You want at least 11000+ off a 07 durango, more for the 420000 model (look up the 06 used)
 
Good luck

Thanks for the advice. I have an 07 limited that I am working on. The msrp is a little over $43000.00 plus they added about $700 in after market stuff ( window tint, billet grill and chrome door handles). They are offering $6000 off to move the 07, I get around $4500 off from my supplier discount and have talked them down about another $1500 to a price of $31500 . however If I can come up with an employee discount it will knock almost $750 off of that. I don't want to sound greedy, but if the discount is available I would like to take it. I'm sure Dodge wouldn't have any objections with me giving them another $750. So how about it guys, anyone have an EC number left?

If you look up the wholesale price of a 06 43000msrp limited durango you will find it is about 21000. Your 07 vehicle will wholesale for this next year (if you are lucky, and/or gas is still about 3.00.) Even 15000-16000 off is no great shakes so by all means get greedy. A durango limited like this is has always sold for about 13000 off mid year on for at least the last 4 years whether supplier discount, military, college grad, college dropout etc.
 
Good luck

#94 of 149 Purchasing new Durango - incentives/rebates? by shabr

Dec 05, 2007 (7:04 pm)

Hi,
We are looking into the purchase of a new 07 Limited Durango, loaded with almost all options - Navigation, Satellite radio, Rear video system, remote start, back bucket seats with heat, etc.
The dealer has said that the only current incentive is the 6,000 off - still want almost 35K for the vehicle. The did also mark down their price to 35,996 as the "true market value" - but still only will to go down to 34800.
Anyone out there no of any other rebates or incentives? We also looked at a 2007 limited explorer with virtually the same options, but it was only 29k. I just can't imagine a Durango would cost more!
Any suggestions?

#95 of 149 2007 Demo? by shabr

Dec 06, 2007 (7:45 pm)

We've been looking into a new or barely used Durango limited (prefer used, the depreciation on these vehicles is a killer!).
We have an offer for a brand new from one dealer with dealer incentives and holdback removed, and now another offer for virtually the same vehicle (with about $300 more in options), but it is a demo. They are asking MSRP less the $6k dealer incentive and less all but $200 of holdback totaling over 34K. No adjustment for the almost 3k miles on the car.
Anyone have experience with purchasing a demo? How to negotiate for this? I look at Edmunds pricing on this vehicle as a used vehicle and MSRP is 31k! Low wholesale is 26K... I just can't fathom purchasing a USED vehicle for NEW price - anyone have experience with this?
Any advice would be appreciated!

#96 of 149 Friends Code Plz!!! by snoopy71

May 23, 2008 (2:13 pm)

Just passing through here... I posted this inquiry in some of the other Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep forums, so I thought I'd try here too.
  
Wife & I have twins on the way (in addition to our 3-yr old) so we need to bite the bullet and get a minivan. We're going to get a Dodge GC or a Chrysler T&C sometime in June. Money will be real tight since wife will be quitting work to stay home, hence us going down to one income, so if anyone has a friends code for 2008, then I would reeeeeeally appreciate it. .... I'll even put you on my Christmas card list!!
  
e-mail me here at carspace and let me know....
