avonmeg said: I called my employer HR - who is where they said gives them out - they don't - they said just show your badge If your company qualifies as a Chrysler supplier, you may get your supplier discount code from https://www.dc-rewards.com You will need your company number from the HR department. If HR doesn't know the number, there is a phone number at the above website you can call and they may be able to look up your supplier code by name. Your HR department needs to register with the Affiliate Rewards program for this to work. If they do, they should be getting regular e-mails and employee communication posters from Chrysler explaining how the program works. (I oversee HR for an auto supplier, so I am familiar) If your HR department is unaware of this, they may call the Affiliate Rewards hotline anytime and register your company for the program. Even if HR isn't aware, go to the website and call the service number anyway. Someone may have set up your company long ago who has since left its employ. Dave
Re: Buy or lease best option? [ifsandbuts]

I have never leased anything in my life, cars/vans included. For me, it just don't make economic sense. If you're concerned about total dollars spent, the best thing to do is to buy a used van 1-3 years old with less than (say) 50,000 miles on it, and run it into the ground. That way, especially with Chrysler/Dodge products, you're buying down on the depreciation curve and still have the majority of the useful life of the vehicle left. This makes even more economic sense if you're handy and can do some or most of the work on the van yourself. I think (though I have not run the numbers) that the next most economic approach is to buy new but, again, run it into the ground. We did that with our '94 DC, and in the end it cost us around $0.25/mile TCO (purchase, fuel, maintenance, repairs, insurance, everything). I think that leasing or buying new every 3 years is the least economic way to go. With both those approaches, the depreciation of the vehicle is going to drive your costs. But, there are other issues besides economics that come into play here. Some people just plain like/want new vehicles, and don't want to be bothered with maintaining an older or higher mileage vehicle. That has to be factored in also, though it's much harder to assign a dollar value to "new car smell", for instance.
2007 Used DGC Purchase
by srs_49 on Mon Feb 25 07:02:04 PST 2008
I just bought a used (previously owned) 2007 DGC SXT this weekend. We sold our Outback wagon to my son and my wife's been itching to get another minivan. We narrowed our choices down to the Honda Odyssey, DGC, T&C, and the regular length DC. I was not looking forward to another full-priced new van purchase, so we concentrated on 1-3 year old models. I really liked the Odesseys, but could not justify the price premium given that they seem to be having transmission problems on par with the Chrysler products. Between the Chrysler products, I was leaning towards the standard length van 'cause it's only 3 of us now plus the 2 dogs. But, there did not seem to be very many used DC's on the market with the trim level (SXT) and options we were looking for. We went to a local dealer that had around a dozen used Dodge and Chrysler vans on his lot, and ended up buying a Grand DC SXT, with traction control for $15,299 (before taxes, titles, tags). The van was listed for $16,999, with an internet special price of $16,299. When the salesman asked us what it would take to get us to buy today, (I hate that!), we were non-committal, and just asked him how good a deal we could get. He went to his manager (I hate that ploy also) and came back with the $15,299 price, which was a little better than we were hoping for. So we bought it! The van had been a rental and has 21,500 miles on it, and my wife really liked the pick up with the 3.8L V6. The Car Fax report was clean, and the dealer had just done all the routine maintenance items such as oil & filter, tire rotation, and wiper blade replacement. Plus, like I said, it had the traction control we wanted along with a Sirius satellite radio. So, between the price and the mileage, I think we did pretty good. When we got into the sales manager's office to finalize the deal, he asked us about buying something like $4000 worth of add-ons, including: 1. Etching of VIN number on the glass - $400 2. LoJack system - $500 3. 3 year "ding" removal - $500 4. 3 year service package (oil, change, tire rotation, etc) - $300 5. Various flavors of extended warranties, from $900 to upwards of $2400. We turned them all down, but I'm wondering if I should go with the Chrysler provided extended power train warranty for (I think it was) $900. This would extend the power train coverage from 3yr/36,000 mi to 5yr/100,000 miles (which is the best match to our driving habits). I'm not a fan of extended warranties, feeling that in most cases, since they're a big money maker for the car company, they must not be good deal for the consumer. But, given the possibility of a $4,000 tranny repair in the future, I was thinking about buying for this vehicle. Any thoughts???
Re: $6K off MSRP for loaded Limited - good deal? [jhutchins]
by jkptam on Fri Feb 01 13:27:21 PST 2008
The dealer we have in the DC area gave us a price <$400 below invoice and the vehicle is only partially loaded. So, I say, your deal is at least better than ours. Actually, since we are both looking for fully loaded T&C Limited in the DC area, you want to check with your dealer if he/she can give both of us the "best" deal if we both buy from him/her? I will be up for it. Let me know. Jane
$6K off MSRP for loaded Limited - good deal?
by jhutchins on Fri Feb 01 09:23:06 PST 2008
The internet department for one of my local dealers in the DC area is offering his loaded Limited models (MSRPs of about $41,500 to $42,000) for $6K off MSRP (including all rebates). This seems pretty good (about $500 under invoice - taking into account the $1,500 rebate - according to Edmunds), but I was looking to see if that seemed in line for what others were getting, or if I should press for even more disounts. Any input is appreciated. Thanks, John

thanks rmbalisa, are these lease rates the same for the northern VA/DC area? Also, any difference for a 10k mile lease?
