Do you still have access to an employee choice number? If so, I would love one!
Thanks!
Here is approximately what you'd pay, if you could get an EC discount from someone.
MSRP: $33,470
EC: $28,251
Friends: $28,777
All prices include the $730 destination fee. The EC and Friends include a current $1,500 rebate which expires on 01/02/2008. Add a $200 program fee to the EC price that the dealer would add on.
The discount and rebate may vary, depending on the region where you live. The above discounts are based in the St. Louis area region, where one of the minivan plants is located. Email me with your zip code at my carspace.com box for a more accurate quote.
If you can hold out until next Wednesday, 01/02/2008, I can get you a Friends discount.
Customer preferred package 28m
Swivel 'n go seating group
Dual screen DVD entertainment system.
What would be a fair cost and what are the chances of getting the ec or friends program from one of you? If I could get one of these, how do you approach the car dealer with this number or program?? All help is greatly appreciated!! I have 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. I need to expand!!
Thanks,
Kirbmeister
Customer preferred package 28m
Swivel 'n go seating group
Dual screen DVD entertainment system.
MSRP: $34,165
Friends: $29,324
Both prices include the $730 destination fee. The Friends discount includes a current $1,500 rebate which expires on 01/02/2008. The discount price and rebate is based on the St. Louis region where one of the minivan plants is located. Rebates vary by region, so the discount price and available incentives may be different in your area.
I can't help you on any discounts until 2008 (all out). The EC is being discontinued next year but I still have three slots available for a 2008 Friends discount. Email me at my carspace.com box for more info.
Thank you for taking the time to e-mail me back. I was about to go to dealer today but I can certainly wait until wednesday. I really appreciate your help you made alot of people happy this Christmas specially my daughter.
Thanks

For those who are still shopping or who have recently purchased Chrysler products with Lifetime Drivetrain Warranty, check out the newly available Chrysler LIFETIME MaxCare policy. I bought one, and am looking forward to many, many years of worry-free ownership.
I finally bought and picked up my 08 T&C yesterday and here is the breakdown of what I paid and how my deal went.
08 T&C with L package and flexible seating group ( Black )
MSRP $31945.00 with $1500 fac.incentive $31445.00
Invoice $29227.00 with $1500 fac.incentive $27727.00
Price paid $26228.00
I bought it for $1500 UNDER invoice
My out the door price was $28700 ( that includes NYC tax of 8.375% , dmv fees , dealer fees )
I feel that I got an awesome deal ^_^
Thanks again for Mr.tedebear for all his help , my son is loving the car right now and I am finally the coolest dad on the planet.
The dealer I bought my car was Bay Ridge Chrysler and Jeep in Brooklyn
My sales rep was Tourine
Everyone was very nice except for the finance manager who tried to have me sign up for extended warranty and etc but I understand since it was his job to do so.
It was just tough saying the word "NO" for about 15 min lol
Just make sure to say JUN ( thats me and pronounced same as the month JUNE ) sent you and you can probably get the same or similar deal.
If anyone needs to know anything else , please feel free to leave a message here!
2008 Touring
25 M Package (leather, dual DVD, etc...)
Swivel & Go
Sunroof
Power 3rd Row
MyGIG Infotainment w/ Nav
MSRP $36,890
Price paid $30,044 +TTL including all applicable rebates if I obtained my own financing, or $31,544 + TTL with Chrysler's promotional financing. No dealer in the area could come close.

Just curious as to where you got this great deal, thanks
You might try rmbalisa, who you can find in older messages in this thread. Each of us had 6 for 2008 and I'm not sure what the status on his is.
I was wondering if you have any more friends #'s you would be willing to share or know of anyone that has an EC number available. We currently have 4 children and 1 on the way. We are looking to move to a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with the M package. We are prepared to purchase today if we can get a number to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated, we could certainly use the extra space.
Since I am new to the forums, I did not know how to reply to you directly with the information (address, DOB, etc.) that you requested.
Thanks,
Tony

Good luck on getting an EC number. That program expires today. If Rmbalisa hasn't gotten back to you by noon let me know and I'll see what I can do.
It has to be used today, the same day as when the $1,500 rebates expire. The first person to email me at my carspace.com address can have it. I don't mean to make this sound like a contest but after I leave for work in 3 hours I no longer have access to my email for the rest of the day.
To save time you need to email me the following to register you for the program:
1. First and last name
2. Full street address, including city, state and zip
3. 10-digit phone number
4. Date of birth
5. Buyer’s SSN (last 4 digits only)
6. Email address you’d like the control number sent to
7. Vehicle model you’re interested in purchasing/leasing
I would deeply appreciate it if you would help with an EC number. My wife and I are both teachers and expecting twins and would buy a Town and Country today if we could use the numbers.
Thanks in advance,
Dinsle
I'm new to this Forum and not sure how to do everything yet. Thanks so much in advance!!
If you manage to get an EC number ask the dealer to show you the actual invoice. Then look for the EP code in the list to verify what they are charging you is what you should be paying, plus a $200 program fee.
If you'd like, post the details on the vehicle you are getting, including all options that are not included in the base price. Include the MSRP and your zip code since discounts and rebates vary by region. I'll look it up for you. Go to www.chrysler.com > Build My Own if you need help.
I cannot access my carspace.com email box from work, so don't send it there.
I almost bought a new Sienna CE, but after getting burned buy the transmission troubles with my Odyssey, I decided that the lifetime warranty was to good to pass up.
MSRP: $41,705
Price agreed upon: $35,000
I saw your carspace account was not accessible from work - but i don't know where else to send it ~ sorry
Thanks for your help. Even without the additional discount - I feel it's a good price
did that price include any rebates or friend's discounts etc??Sounds like a great price
Price agreed upon: $35,000
That's a great deal - it's even below the EC. The EC price no longer shows any rebate or bonus cash incentives, which ended yesterday. Even subtracting an additional $1,500 rebate you're still lower than the EC. I'm not sure if you are in a region where the $500 bonus cash was offered.
MSRP: $41,705
EC: $36,831
Your agreed upon price: $35,000
I know it doesn't matter now since I already bought the car...
Could I ask what dealer you received this deal from in Lincoln?
MSRP $32,975
Final price including EC Discount (Thanks TEDEBEAR) and rebates.
$26,755
I'm the happy owner of a 2008 T&C and the kids love it.
I'm going to go back and buy the lifetime Max Care extended warranty for piece of mind.
Got a quote for $1765 ($100 Deductible).
Jon
That's nearly 19% off the MSRP - I'd say you did pretty well.
To anyone else who is wondering what current rebates or price incentives Chrysler has going in your area, go to www.chrysler.com > Shopping Tools > Current Incentives. It looks like the $1,500 rebate for a T&C or 0% financing is alive and well.
We also live in MD. please forward your dealer's info. Any particular sales person I should ask for over there? Many thanks. Enjoy your 2008 T&C. Hope that we will get to be the next lucky owner.
Jon
Thanks in advance.
from a local dealer for delivery in 4 to 6 weeks. Dealer said they would honor Friends or EC price if I got a "number". . I know that tedebear and rmbalisa (sp?) have indicated that they might be able to give out one of these. If that is the case please let me know how I can contact you for one.
Thanks very much.
You can email anyone on these forums at their carspace.com address by using the following format:

I've already given out the 6 Friends discounts I had for 2008. The EC program ended on 01/02/2008. I read that rmbalisa still had 5 Friends discounts last week, so you might try emailing him. I wish I had dozens of these things to give out but Chrysler only gives 6 per employee.
If he doesn't have any left you might try posting your request on some of the other Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep forums (not just Edmunds - do a Google search). Many Chrysler employees are also Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep owners who surf the forums.
The discount difference between the two was usually around $300-$400. Both programs represent a significant savings off the MSRP and rebates plus other incentives are subtracted from the discount price for even more savings.
Employees can still purchase up to 6 vehicles per calendar year through the EP (Employee Purchase) program. That is in addition to the 6 Friends discount numbers they can give out to anyone.
Here is a list of who is eligible for the EP program:
All Chrysler active full-time and part-time Employees/Retirees. Immediate family members including spouse, same-sex domestic partners,* parents, parents-in-law, stepparents, sons/daughters, sons/daughters-in-law, stepchildren, brothers/sisters, brothers/sisters-in-law, half brothers/sisters, grandchildren and grandparents.
Indeed it is. Here is the Friends discount price for the 08 Touring with the options you listed. Since you didn't provide your zip code I used one in the St. Louis area, where one of the minivan assembly plants is located. MSRP stays the same but discount prices and rebates vary by region.
MSRP: $35,905
Friends: $30,898
The above Friends discount includes a current $1,500 rebate which expires on 02/29/2008. The discount price quote is provided as an estimate only. Ask the dealer to show you the actual invoice which shows the exact PP (Preferred Pricing Friends) discount on it.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions and I'll be glad to help if I can.
However, the Friends discount program is alive and well. The Friends price is 1% below dealer invoice. You can find the invoice price on Edmunds. Any rebates or other price incentives are subtracted from the Friends discount for even more savings.
All Chrysler employees are permitted to give out up to 6 Friends discounts per calendar year to anyone. There is no charge to obtain one. All 6 of mine have already been given out but ask around.
