Vehicle -Touring-L
Customer Preferred Package 29L
DVD
Nav
Super Console
MSRP $35420
Interesting note - as I was shopping around got a call from the Chrysler dealer who made the original offer. I could tell they FREAKED when they heard I was out price shopping at other dealers. After I hung up the phone, I got a call back 15 minutes later - "My manager authorized me to find a way to meet the best offer you've got."
And, before you mention it, I know I could have probably netted around another $500 if I sold it privately but I wasn't interested in the hassle.
1) T&C (test drove the Touring-L and Limited)
PRO:
- Lots of stuff in this van. Navigation, DVD in middle and back. Leather, and I
really liked those blind spot sensors. Don't know how well they work.
- Strong engine. Highway speed faster than in my Dodge GC, 2005.
- Transmission shifted just fine.
- Sto and Go seats. LOVE EM.
CON: A lot of con
- Cheap CHEAP CHEAP materials. Where the jack was located it had a plastic cover
that didn't even meet the panel hole with the tab. Not loose. Just made that way.
- Padding in leather seats have gone minimalist. I had to ask the guy, "Is this leather
or vinyl?" Getting out of the van, I touched bottom on that leather seat. A lot of pieces
had plenty of movement making me wonder how long it would last.
- For me, too much stuff going on in the instrument cluster. LOTS OF stuff in there. Not
a very clean presentation. I just did not like the speed display in the middle(digital)
and then another speed display to the right(analog). I'd probably get used to it.
- I opened the hood and closed it . Wow! What a tinny sound. They really cut a corner
on that sheet metal.
- Somewhat new engine design. A con for me. Not sure about others.
- I didn't care much for the homelink buttons on the visor. Not enough room for fat
fingering with a bit dirty hands. I can see that visor spot quickly getting dirty.
- Display panel cutout for the digital speedometer was not straight. It was off kilter a bit.
Second one I drove was not like that.
2) Sienna LE and XLE Premium:
PRO:
- Engine was great. Transmission shifted fine.
- LOTS of legroom in the back. A function of non-Sto and Go I think.
- Clean instrumentation panel.
- No gaps I found offhand. (although, the van in showroom had a cracked piece of
plastic from where the "8th" seat is stored. i was thinking that could be a problem
then.)
- Good padding on seats. No bottoming out on exit.
- The wide 16.4 inch DVD in the premium was quite nice.
CON:
- Cheaper materials than in preceding Toyotas I've had. Not as cheap as the Chrysler.
- You have to take out middle seats and store them in the garage if you need the space
to haul something.
- WAY less stuff on Sienna for a bit higher price. I really liked those Chrysler blind
spot mirrors.
- Who in the world can sit in that 8th seat? No one. It's too small. It cannot even fit a
child seat.
I'm disgusted at the cheapness that both vans have. I have Toyota cars before and this is the cheapest material I've seen in any of them. EVERYONE is cutting corners too much. What happened to quality stuff? Did the Japanese start using the American model or what? My 2005 Dodge GC doesn't have flimsy junk like the 2012 T&C. Like it or not, that's my two cents on the two vans I drove. I was really really debating the two until yesterday when I decided to put an offer in on a Sienna LE. The 0% financing at Chrysler was really tempting, too. I liked the navigation and dvd stuff for the price.
-Driver Convenience Group
- Dual Screen DVD Entertainment System
- UConnect 730N with the navigation
Looks like adjusted internet price for this van is $31,200, which is well below what Edmunds is saying is the true value. So there's some sort of disconnect there.
Anyways, does anyone know if Ally is still offering rebates for using their financing?
I'd like to get the price in the low $28,000 range. Would you just contact the internet department and say 'Hey, I'll give you $28,000 for that van'? Would they take me seriously? I think this price range is doable from some of the posts I read.
I'm not a very good negotiater and am just looking for some help and pointers.
Thanks.
Came with touring package
Dual screen DVD
Separate DVD player as well as the fancy fold down face in dash DVD player
Back up camera
Cloth seats
They had it listed for 20,950
Paid $18,600
Bought a Chrysler extended service plan (Premium) after I cancelled the junk sold to me by the Honda dealer. I walked in and cancelled it the next day.
Anyway, my wife really likes the car. We had them put new tires on all 4 corners, new battery, new wiper blades, fresh oil change, 4 wheel alignment and of course a full detail.
The precious owner hadn't even taken the ear phones and remote out of the plastic and box. We are excited.
My "base" T&C has the following std options:
Back-up cam
40GB hard drive for MP3s
Rear dvd with 2 headsets
I picked up a Pearl Black with Black interior T&C for $25219 plus tax, title and license.
The base model has an MSRP of 30,930. I received friends and family pricing. Toledo OH has several chrysler plants, so they give F&F pricing to everyone. I also got the $1750 cash back instead of the financing, and $1000 cash back for lease termination bonus cash. I turn in my Toyota Camry in October and they give you cash for switching brands.
I was working with a dealer in Sylvania, OH, and the best price he could give me was $25,762. The day I came in to sign the papers, he told me they didn't have the car in the color I wanted and that both cars that met my specs had been sold the day before. They tried the ol' bait and switch, and I wasn't buying it.
So I called a dealer 45 min away in Archibold OH, I told them the price and the financing I had qualified for and they agreed to sell me the car at that price. So I show up and they tell me that the numbers actually worked out to paying $25219 AND they got me a lower interest rate. (2.99% for 72 months instead of 3.5%). I ended up taking the 75 months at 3.09%. Monthly came out to $410 a month. In any case, I am a very happy customer.
The 0% finance offer expires 9/04/12. Does anyone expect Chrysler to renew that? I was originally planning to buy in Oct/Nov timeframe.

To top it off, I bought the Maximum Care Package for around $2,300.00 that gives me Life Time bumper to bumper warranty on everything but wear items. The package includes shocks, small dent repair, towing/roadside assistance, with $1,000.00 trip interrupt protection and car rental allowance up to $175.00. With only a $100.00 deductable.
I got so much more than I ever got on my 2005 Dodge GC for almost the same price. Love the deluxe consol, so much storage in it. I had good luck with the Dodge. I only had to replace the window washer container, as it got a crack in it from a flying stone and one wire broke on the rear fold down seat leg, that pulled one leg of the seat into the floor when stowed.

Msrp. $31,090
Sale price $25,934
Trade. $9500. (2009 Hyundai elantra. 35,000 miles good condition )
Total $16,434. + tax and fees
Out the door. $17,814.43
Is this a good deal? Or can I do better?
Bought new 2013 T&C touring a few days ago.
Included the tow package & also the Uconnect 730n navigation system.
I used Penfed's truecar car buying service & paid $27209 before TTL.
My financing is 0.74% / 48 months when using this service (seems like a very good deal)
I did trade in another car for $5000 trade value.
Currently truecar shows:
price estimate: $29427
'great price' = less than $30251
'unusually low price' = less than $28899
I think this may have been an early 2013 that had sat on the dealer's lot for many months, which may have led to more discounts, but not certain on that. According to truecar at least it was a good deal. I actually think I could have negotiated a bit more on the price but didn't have the time or energy.
MSRP $44,630
offer $38,212
We would trade our 2010 limited T & C with tow package and uconnect. We owe $17,026
They offered $35,282 before TTL and processing.
Seems like I should be able to get better than that. What do you think?
What do people think, good deal, or should we have waited?
Thanks
MSRP 36,115
Paid 29,500 plus TTL.
bump for current info, looking at buying one of these for my wife and trying to get an idea of the "best" deals out there...seems as tho chrysler isn't doing any purchase incentives as of 3-4-3014
anybody can help me with what is the current MF and RV ? what would a good deal be ?
Won't be able to model a payment without knowing the MSRP and sale price.

Can't tell you if the incentives are available for a lease; understanding Chrysler incentives and whether they are stackable or not requires a lot of patience.

Truecar was fairly accurate for me when checking on the incentives, but there were a couple that were certainly confusing. Looking at that in my area, I find $7k off hard to believe. Even after adding conquest cash ($1k) and retail cash ($2k), it comes up with $5700 off a Touring-L with some other options. There is another $1k loyalty cash, but that's obviously not stackable with the conquest cash.

With all these incentives going on I would call directly to this dealerships internet dept and speak with them to break down what your entitled to BEFORE GOING TO DEALERSHIP. If dealer wont breakdown then go to dealership for details.

Check out Don Davis dodge for a match/ beat price........................ Excellent dealership
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Pay off the balance of last months lease. Go to the Dodge/ Chrysler dealership with a big pad and pen. Write down exactly how much in incentives your entitle to. Ask dealer to meet your target price of 500 below dealers invoice plus any incentives that apply to you. Write down all the numbers before leaving including leased numbers. Then go to Honda and do the same thing. Go home that night sit down and figure what vehicle gives you the best deal.
Your best deal might be a leased T&C with all those incentives.
If you were buying vehicles I would say go with the Honda. Better reliability, quality over time with much better resale value.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Touring-L: .00017 MF and 53% residual
Limited Platinum: .00022 MF and 50% residual
Doesn't look like they have a viable lease program for the Limited model.
I don't have the incentive information, but you can check Edmunds information by using the Car Research tab at the top of the page.

I just got a detailed lease worksheet from my dealer. I get Employee Price, so the base price on an MSRP of $37880 is $34389. They are showing the $3500 rebate, and the residual is 47% just as you said. They also are charging tax on the rebate, which I think is required here.
However, under the Interest Factor section, they show a "Published" rate of 0.0001 as you said, but a "Sell Rate" of 0.00035, which is what they used in calculating the payment. I do notice that there is no Acquisition Fee. Do you know if the higher money factor is used because of no Acquisition Fee?
Bottom line, with absolutely zero down, the 36 month / 15,000 per year payment would be $431.25 including tax. Tax rate here is 6.75%. Still seems high to me.
