Thanks so much. This is great information to have. The car is in silver, so it was great you did the default color. I do like the Red, but I did see that it was an extra cost and chose not to go that route.
 
Now the question is to lease or buy. I drive a lot so everyone is telling me not to lease, but I don't see myself driving this car for the next 5 to 10 years. I'm getting quotes for leasing prices with 18k and 20k mileage. People say that is nuts and I should just buy. I'd appreciate your opinion if you have time.
 
Thank you.

Since I've never leased anything I'm probably not the best one to give advice on that. I do know that you're limited on annual miles with a lease and there are penalties if you go over. I would imagine a lease with an 18-20k mile annual limit costs a lot more than something with 12k/yr terms.
 
You might try a Google search on lease versus buy. There are several good articles.
 
BTW, I bought an Inferno Red Sebring in September. The chrome accents make the whole package look very nice.

Here's the information that you're looking for, jgreenberg. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited with 10,500 miles per year are .00163 and 49%, respectively. As you can see, these numbers match the numbers that you were quoted by the dealer.

#77 of 79 Employee Discount by stater09

I read somewhere that Chrysler has discontinued their "friends and extended family" discount; however, that employees can still help to get the cost down to invoice cost. Can someone explain this to me, or better yet, be the one to help out a college student in getting a new car!
 
Thanks

Several months ago someone popped on here and said the Friends and Family discount was being discontinued and that they read it in a local Detroit area newspaper. The rumor was quickly disproved and the person hasn't been back since.
 
The Friends and Family discount is still alive and well. Unfortunately, I gave out all of my 6 numbers for the year way back in January.
 
I've suggested to others who want one to post requests on different Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep forums - not just here on Edmunds (do a Google search). Many Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep employees are also owners of these vehicles and regularly surf the forums.

Hi timdmb. You can look up the dealer invoice price of the car that you are interested in over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.
 
As far as this car's lease program goes, it varies by trim level, term, and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease of a base 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with 15,000 miles per year. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for such a lease are currently .00110 and 41%, respectively.
