I would be suspect of an invoice price. There are many pieces of paper that are referred to as an invoice. I believe that the dealer's have about 25% to play with. Good luck with your Aspen. I had a 2004 Durango - 5.7 Hemi - that I loved. Chrysler offered a five month early lease forgiveness so I opted to buy my Pacfica, thinking that it might be the last car I would ever buy. My Pacifica has only 5000 miles in a little over a year because it is simply unpleasant to drive. Chrysler seems to feel that is normal.

The attorney from Chrysler complained that I was not giving the dealers a fair chance since my car had been to three different dealers for five visits. The last two visits were at the selling dealer. I did not take the car back to them originally because they are 45 minutes away. I thought that it was agreed at my arbitration that they would be given another chance. The attorney chose a different dealer, however, but they went out of business before she had a chance to get the car to them. She then chose a different dealer and the car is there now. I still (Thursday AM) do not have the rental (loaner) that they agreed to. I was supposed to have it by 12:30 on Tuesday. The attorney should have followed up.

Thanks for all the help!
 
What I am wondering, the sticker price of the pac was 37,025. I still owe 31,630 dollars. If the give me the sticker of 37,025, I can pay off the pac and still have almost 6000 to put towards the aspen. Also until 4/30/08 there is the 3000 cash allowance on the aspen which I am wondering if I can still get. That would help ALOT on the purchase of the aspen. I tried to find info on this on the new york state website, but could not get a clear answer.
 
Did anyone here go through the buyback and did you buy a new chrysler and get any kind of rebate?

Actually, I have not had a TC replacement; just the re-flashes-about 5 of them so far. My only real issue is the severe clunk I get going into reverse, or from drive to reverse and reverse to drive. If it keeps on clunking, I am afraid that it will indeed break more motor mounts. I am intentionally waiting several seconds between shifting into reverse so see if it makes any difference. It does not-still clunks. When shifting from park intor reverse, sometimes the whole front end shakes! The rough shifts are only from second gear to third. Do you still think I should call Chrysler? Or maybe the dealer again? Is it worth dropping the trans to fix the clunk? I am just afraid that if they drop the trans, something else may go wrong as a result, and right now, the car seems to have finally leveled out for me, save for the clunking. Thank God for a bumper-to-bumper warranty!

This is how our buy took place, and how I was told sop.Take the MSRP on the PAC and any additional dealer installed things. (not the price you paid, but sticker retail price). Now find the MSRP on the Aspen, subtract the Aspen's MSRP form the PAC's MSRP. Then subtract the mileage charge that they say you have for driving the PAC. Now you have the price of the Aspen. You do NOT get any rebates, or cash back of any kind. Here is how our buy back went on our 2005 Jeep Libert Diesel.
                                                $28,765. MSRP on Liberty
                                                      361. dealer insatlled items
                                                $29,126. Total price credit for Liberty
   29,000 $. 05 cents a mile 1,450. mileage
    actual buy back credit $ 27,676.
    actual pay off to bank. $ 27,659. $17. we lost.
 
                                                 $24.500 MSRP for 2007Jeep Compass
                                                 $24,000. financed at same bank.
 
In our case we broke even, and Chrysler transfered our Chrysler Service contract over to the Compass, and started it over brand new. In our case things worked out real fair. But if you had a negative balance drom a trade in on the buy back vehicle you could be in negative, and have to finance or pay to make the buy back. Our mileage at $ .05 was ver low and can be as high as $ .50 a mile, so there is an additional thing that can bog down for you.
   There is never a buy back that gives you anything but MSRP for your vehicle and Chrysler sells you the new vehicle at MSRP. Chrysler assumes you got a cash back or some special deal, and nobody pays MSRP unless they just got off the Cabbage truck that day they bought the vehicle.
 
Let me know how it works for you.

The tax thing depends on the state. Our state takes what you got for your trade in and takes it away from the new vehicle price, and that's the amount of sales tax you pay. I have little idea what it would be in other states.

Hey everyone-
 
Now wishing i would have seen some of these posts last week before i bought my new pac. a used 2007 with 29000 miles that i got for $14000 (a good deal i thought). The first day it started shuttering in the rear and now needs a new torque converter. I saw a few posts about this but anyone that got one replaced, did it fix the problem?? Also is this a precursor to my complete transmission going out??? Its still under chrysler warrenty and thankfullly i extended warrenty to 100,000 miles cause I dont want to get rid of it. Thanks

I had mine replaced about 1500 miles ago. It has been great. In fact, the car has been othwerwise perfect after 7,000 miles. The dealer gave me ZERO problems....never even test drove the car.....just replaced it. Provided a loaner and gave it back on time.

Again we are talking apples and oranges here. Yours was not a buy back. With a buy back you get every single cent, looney, paso, mark or what ever kind of cash you had in the car back, If your state doesn't give the sales tax back you get that from the manufacture of the automobile. That my friend the buy back.
You can choose to represent yourself in this if you want but it all goes back to the old saying. "If you chose to represent yourself as a client, you only have a fool as a client".

Johnherryhoeha: You clearly have a lot to learn about a buy back! In a buy back You get the MSRP price no matter what kind of discount you got! Very seldom does a buy back take that there is not a mileage charge, and when there is no mileage charge it's strictly up to the Zone Rep. NO ONE needs a attorney for a buy back, unless Chrysler is playing hard ball because there is more to the story that gives some reasonable doubt there was some blame on the buyers part.
   In the star of Missouri you are untitled to $ 0 zip, nada, nothing, not one cent back on taxes only a credit difference on the trade you made. Chrysler will not in your wildest dreams give you any sales tax back either.
   IF a persons does not want to select another Chrysler vehicle to replace the buy back vehicle, then you most likely do need a attorney. That is NOT called a buy back!
   You sure are an tough person to communicate with. You have accused me of being a Chrysler Staff person, and now you think you know something when you are seriously wrong and being argumentative. There is no reason to be so mean. Hey, call Customer Care and ask them what a buy back really is. You are in for an awaking if you do.
   If you go for the Lemon Law then there is a whole new set of rules and one should always have a attorney for that, and an Arbitration Hearing, that's when Chrysler has the advantage if you don't have representation.
   As far as apples and oranges, there is a specfic name for each, a buy back is one thing I DO KNOW about by personal experience! What experience do you have with a buy back? I will be willing to hear where you have got your information, if you care to more fully explain yourself. It is not my desire to have rudeness or anything else, but neither do I intend to let anyone challenge me when I feel attacked and my word challenged or discredited.
