Part of the price I obtained was through the "Friends and Family" program. On top of that I had $5500 in rebates (bonus cash, lease loyalty, conquest cash, and general rebate). Let me ask around to see if I can get you the program I was under. Additionally ... go to www.tetrickranch.com/Wrangler%20Jr%20High%20Rodeo/dodge_rodeo_announces_the_chry- sl.htm and see what it would take to become of member of the "Dodge Rodeo" ... they get "affiliate" pricing which is the same as the 'friends' program.

End of T&C lease options

I'm almost done with my first lease of an 06 T&C. I'm gathering from this board that there may be more options than just turning it in or paying full residual. I'm torn with what to do and I have NO CLUE.
The car is under in mileage. Of all the vehicles I've ever owned, this one sustained the most ...ouch..are you ready...body damage. It will need a new bumper  $700 - there is a crack near the license plate, there is a 5 inch long indentation along the bottom of the passenger side where the kids wagon ran into it. The back bumper has a 3x 3 scuff in the grey plastic of the bumper. So, I've got 3 things that I will be charged for. We also (circuit city) installed a $1000 overhead DVD system of which I know I will not recoup. Will I be charged for altering it?
My question,
Should I try a personal sale before the lease is up and try to get rid of it for as close to what it will cost to pay it off (minus the scuffs)?
I'd like to move into a VW Routan for the simple idea of no $$ down in this economy and a $339 lease payment.
I could buy a used van and drive it for a couple years until the economy improves and I'm not so fearful of taking a ton of $$ out of savings.
I would consider buying the car from them.. will they offer me discounts to buy it less than original price? If I buy a DIFFERENT car from them, will they go easier on my with my turn in??? 
I have no clue....please let me know any thoughts you may have!
Thanks....

It depends on how bad you want to lease.What if I told you that you could buy a brand new 08 limited for 24,700 if you are a returning chrysler customer? You can purchase this thing for probably less than what you would pay a month on the m pkg and still get a few more options, like the 4.0 engine.My wife currently has an m pkg and is trying to get me to take her lease over so she can snatch one of these ltds. I spoke with the dealer that is doing it,they are brunswick automart located outside of Cleveland Ohio they are also the largest dealer in the state. The sales man said they are running this until the last one sells,however he said for a few hundred more they will locate what you want if they dont have it.You may want to look them up,we are on our third car from them .Because of the volume they do ,they can make some dumb deals other dealers cant come close to.Good luck!!!

Hi, This is a tough call. I leased an 08 Touring with Walter P package in March and love it . This was before the major economic crisis with the auto companies and before the V w routan. It would appear that you will really be hit with a big charge due to condition of your 06. Wish I could have found a Limited at that good price. I did get a total of $4200 in rebates and incentives though. I am paying $390 a month for 15k and 36 months. Good luck

FYI-I have a 2006 T & C Touring edition that I originally leased for 27 months in Nov 2005 through Chrysler Financial. I extended the lease for 12 more months last Feb. I have 2 more payments left on the lease now and called Chrysler yesterday. I currently have 28,000 miles on the van. They offered me a $4,000 rebate off my residual value if I want to buy it. They dropped the price from $16,800 to $12,300. I didn't even ask- they offered it to me up front. Not a bad deal at all. I think I am going to wait a month longer and see if I can even get a better deal. For those who's lease is ending soon it appears Chrysler is willing to reduce your residual value if you want to buy.

before spending the money while yes it is a good deal, think about how long of a tme you want to kepp your car for. my experience as well as others has shown that after four years a chrysler starts to break down.Tthink hard beofre you want to pluck down so much of your cash n this economy it might make sense to lease a vanfor 400-450 a month your car that you have now will not last you well past 2010 for a bit more money without a down payment you can have a new car (without having to worry about repairs) for the next few years btw look into a sienna or oddysey as well good luck
