Hello, Sorry for reposting, I put this by mistake in the Chrysler forum first. On August 4th I bought a new 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 25K, black, with the options: Dual Screen DVD Entertainment System Power Liftgate for $23,400.00 out the door. I also bought the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty with a $100 deductible for an additional $1,650.00 and financing for 5 yrs at 4.9%. I am not a current Chrysler owner or an employee. I bought it at Szott Dodge in Highland, Michigan. My salesperson was very courteous. Anthony

Replying to: heelntoe (Aug 13, 2008 6:19 am) I am looking at and 08 GC that is listed at 30,495 but is the older model (lower base price) has the mygig, family value pack. I was quoted 27,500 before the $4500 in rebates. Do you think I should ask for more off?

Replying to: abair (Aug 18, 2008 6:21 pm) The Friends discount is available through any Chrysler employee. Each employee is permitted to give out up to 6 discount control numbers per year. The Friends price is approximately 1% below invoice in addition to any rebates or other price incentives. With the current state of the economy you might be able to negotiate an even lower price than that. Read this for more information: Chrysler Discounts

Replying to: tedebear (Aug 18, 2008 7:55 pm) You said, "you might be able to negotiate an even lower price than that." Do you mean you can get a lower price without using the Friends discount, or do you mean you might be able to actually use the Friends discount to get an even lower price?

Replying to: marc35 (Aug 19, 2008 5:49 am) I mean that a buyer can possibly do better than the Friends discount price on their own without it. I've been reading some messages from new owners on Edmunds and the price they negotiated with the dealer is sometimes way less than the Friends price would be. The Friends price is set at a specific amount on the invoice price sheet of each vehicle. Ask to see the invoice and look for the PP (Preferred Pricing) code on the sheet. That's the Friends price before any rebates or other price incentives. |

Replying to: abair (Aug 18, 2008 6:23 pm) We have a dealer out that advertises in the paper an SXT for $18,997 for employees, plus tax title, doc, and dest, milt discount, etc. I took that price, added in $1800 for the Entertainemnt 2 system (it stickers for $2,200). I added my 6% tax to that, $770 for dest, $250 for doc. I walked in, found a salesman and said, sell me an SXT for $23,000. He wrote he offer on a paper, had me sign it and he presented to the manager. The manager came out with the salesman and we started negotiating. He came back with 24,700. I said no and he left and then came back. He said 23,600, I said 23,200, he said 23,500, I came up to 23,400. he came back with 23,450 and a $50 gas card. Mind you I had my wife with me and I didn’t want to have to drag her to another dealer, so I like to think I came up from my original offer for her. All you have to do is walk out, tell them you will try at another dealer. I also didn’t mind coming up to the 23, 450 because it came with the power liftgate which stickers at $400. I am not an employee, militatry person, or current leasee or owner. They have vans that they need to sell. Anthony |
