newhere79 - I think that deal was just from a specific bank. I have not purchased yet as the whole balloon deal with re-financing is confusing to me. I have been looking around still though and there is now another dealership in my area (Rochester, NY) that is listing rebates of around 7k on Chrysler T&Cs Touring trims and bringing the price down to $22,995. I have just emailed them to see if that is with a rebate for a balloon payment.

I was just at transittown chrysler in clarence ny and was looking at the same deal. It just sounds a little fishy to me. I am not sure I want to sign a finance contract and trust that I can pay it off without any penality.

Did you buy the vehicle with the balloon rebate just wondering how it worked out for you.

This is my first post on this forum.
Last week I got new 2011 Chrysler T&C Touring (Flex-Fuel) with following sticker for $22K + taxes + other fees. (Upstate NY Area)

Window Sticker
Base Price: $30,280
Tech Equipment Credit: -$1,100
Driver Convenience Group: $810
Destination: $835
--------------------------------------------
MSRP: $30, 805
--------------------------------------------
FYI Driver Convenience Group includes:
     Bluetooth Streaming Audio
     Heated Steering Wheel
     Remote USB Port
     uConnect Voice Command w/Buletooth
     Heated Front Seats
     Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror with Microphone

Tech Equipment Credit
  Removes the following options:
     Blind Spot Monitoring
     Cross Path Detection
     Rain Sensitive Wipers
     Smartbeam Head Lamps
     Premium Tire Pressure Monitoring
     ParkSense Rear Park Assist
     Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
  Adds: Body Color Ext. Mirrors

The final sale price ($22k) was including the Balloon Cash ($3000, with 5.25% APR) and the my employers discount (do not know how much it was), however overall ended up paying $22k + NY taxes + fees. All together on road cost was $24,278.

I was also told by my dealer that, there will not be any penalty for refinancing after one or two monthly payments . I hope everything will go smooth when I try to refinance and hope the deal I got is a good one.

THX

#1626 of 1653 chrysler T&C 2011 with 4500 miles by minderaser

Dec 13, 2011 (12:17 pm)

Hi Guys
I live in Atlanta and I am getting a deal from this dealership for a Chrysler T&C 2011 limited van (fully decked out, with everything on it and a cherry on top).
The van is a demo van, however (with 4500 miles on it), and the dealer is asking around 33,500 for it (msrp is around 44). Does anybody have an opinion on whether this is a good one?

dp007 - I'm looking at the same deal down the Thruway from you (Syracuse).

Did you pay off the loan? If you did, did you pay the balloon off as well?

Any things to watch out for in this deal?

Thanks,
Dave

DO NOT BUY. The new Pentastar engines have many troubles. Stay away from T&C.

I was going to say yOu bought a 6 months used van. 6 months for a reason and you got a lemon, however it seems there are some serious problems with these new engines...

Was looking at a new 2012. A lot more features than similar priced Oddy or Sienna. However I am now reconsidering...
