So, my dealership kept giving me a difference between a 0% financing price vs a best price. It is a 2009 T&C touring with the 2nd/3rd row DVD, remote start, uconnect SIRIUS audio/video for 1yr, leather, heated seats 1st/2nd row, rear backup camera. List price: $35.5, Out the door price was $30.7k with 0% for 5 years. This equates to about $28.5 top line. They were going to do $30k, but that would have been at 3.9% interest. Only 2 other dealers within 30 miles. Telling my dealer that I was comparing prices on a car forum ended up saving me $1000. Thanks to all for their buying experiences. |

 Hello all, I am new to this. I wanted to share my car buying experience. On June 8th I purchased a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. On the 10th I removed the advertising plate the dealer had installed on the front bumper. I have purchased several cars and truck in the past that also had plate on the front. The only difference is, the dealer drilled holes in the bumper to install the plate. I know now that Chrysler and Dodge minivans have dimples on the bumper for plates. But I never would have thought a dealership would damage the bumper just to install there advertising plate. I called the dealer back and complained about this. I later was called by the general sales manager. He stated that they have always done this and he would not repair it. He did state that he may be able to get us a discount for the repairs. It has been a long battle, but they are still refusing to fix it. I took the van to another dealership and paid $392.04 to have the bumper repaired. I could type in all the details about this but it would take all day. I have created a website about my experience, if anyone would like to read it. Thanks http://webpages.charter.net/bumper_damage/bumper.htm

Replying to: princedm (Jul 12, 2009 7:20 am) I just purchased one less that one month ago, the touring model. this week, 3 days ago the transmission went out and that's not the worst of it, it was like pulling teeth to get my dealer to help me out, they are from Waynesburg, PA. They were going to pay the extra towing to get to them after a long argument, and the when it came down to it they reneged on the deal when the Chrysler help line checked with them to verify. Anyway it is now at the closest dealer to the break down and they will not even look at it till next week and stated that it will most likely take a week and a half to have repaired. At this point I don't even care if they ever fix it, I am now in the midst of a battle for replacement because the darn thing is still brand new (less than three weeks old) Thanks for listening... & good luck to all! |

In May I posted here that I got a 25th anniversery for 29K, But at the time, although I signed everything, I only put 1K down with full purchase on July 1st. At the time, I wasn't happy because I wanted the Limited model - I figured if I am going to pay for the middle model, I might as well go for all the bells and whistles. Anyway, about two weeks ago, my dealer (mind you, I am overseas and paid no tax) said he had a limited clearwater blue (light blue) for $2,500 more if I wanted it. I signed right away and he gave me the upgrade for 10K less original sticker. Man, this 41K car is loaded with all sensors and everything (but no sunroof). After driving it for 2 weeks I am extremely happy and still haven't figured out half the buttons yet. I am one happy camper and the kids (3 & 7) love the 2 screens to watch different movies with their wireless headsets in the back . . . |

I saw a dealer and I've spoken to them several time on a T&C, LX, new for $20,950. I tried to get them down to $19500, and they said that I really needed to come in to talk. They wouldnt commit over the phone. THey're about 2 hours from me though. Nonetheless, not sure if this is a good deal. Im preapproved with financing. My plan was to get the $19500 price, trade in my 01' caravan on the cash for clunkers program for another $3500, put up another $1k plus taxes and call it a day. Am I asking for too much here? |
