#45 of 49 Re: Odd Man Out?--went with T&C Limited [5greyhounds] by perna Feb 20, 2007 (11:55 am)
Replying to: 5greyhounds (Jan 31, 2007 4:28 pm) I guess I am the odd man here. I just purchased a 2007 T&C Limited.   We just bought a T&C Touring. Honestly, unless you are planning to flip vans in the first 2-3 years of ownership, it's the best value of the lot. I'm not a fan of Chrysler at all, but literally every other minivan sold in the U.S. had some fatal flaw. The T&C had all the options we wanted, at a very good price. We're paying 22k+ tax (don't actually take delivery until Friday), and we get Sat, power gate/both doors, and a bunch of other doodads. The value is just off the charts. If it holds up over the next 8 years or so, I can easily see us buying another.
#46 of 49 Chrysler T & C 2007 Touring - Best Value by rochesterboy May 04, 2007 (6:28 pm)
I bought a Brand New 07 Chrysler Town & Country Touring Meraine Blue color with 29K Package and Cloth Seat + 6 DVD/CD/MP3 Changer + Rear Entertainment System with 2 Wireless Headphones + 1 Year Satellite Radio for $20,746 (MSRP $31,2xx) OTD with an EC number. Zip Code-48307, MI. After getting a good price, I sent email to multiple Chrysler Internet managers asking them to beat that price. I got reply from 3 dealerships with better price, one gave a quote of $20,640 ($19,200 before tax/title) and went with the price and bought the mini van.   I was going to buy a 2003 Odyssey EX with 60K miles in it for 16500 but then decided to go with Chrysler T & C because of the awesome price, value and 3 years warranty. No other minivan can beat that price.

Replying to: hansienna (Dec 28, 2007 7:54 am) The test is outdated now.   Sienna has a new engine. T&C has been replaced entirely. Odyssey is getting revisions for MY2008, too. Only the Hyundai/Kia and the Quest are the same. Replies to this message: hansienna (Dec 28, 2007 10:46 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 28, 2007 7:58 am) The only difference I can see in the 2008 Odyssey is a new grille, NON-PAX tires in Touring (PAX now optional), Plus One 2nd row seat for 8 in the Touring, and the VCM now has the capability of using 3, 4, or all 6 cylinders instead of just 3 or 6.   Time for a NEW comparison (which will soon be outdated when Honda boosts the power in the Ody).
