Re: 2008 Chrysler Town & Country LX 24H invoice [wersdabestdeal]

Can anyone pls advise if the published invoices found in the internet is accurate? Do the dealers have more than 1 invoice? The invoices found on the internet are generally accurate, but sometimes there are mid-year price changes that cannot be accurately reflected. (When I was shopping, I found this to be the case with both Chrysler and Toyota.) In some cases, I found identical vehicles in a dealer's inventory with different MSRP's and different invoices, depending on when they were built. On the T&C (if I recall correctly), the ones with the higher MSRP actually had the lower invoice price. In the case of Toyota, a dealer was offering invoice + $300, but the price quoted was about $600 higher than it should have been, based on Edmunds invoice prices. Apparently, there was a mid-year pricing change there as well (although I never actually saw the documentation to prove it).

Let me see if I can answer all your questions... 1. Invoice numbers on Edmunds are very accurate. The dealer may show you an invoice which is higher because it includes marketing fees - which is basically you paying for the dealer's advertising. This can be as high as $500 to $700. You can negotiate those fees out of the price of the car. 2. The Friends and Family discount only applies if you have a special code from a Chrysler employee and you can get that price. From what I have been reading, you don't really need the code. Just keep going to dealers until you find one that will give you that price. Auto sales are really bad right now and dealers are wanting to turn inventory. 3. Besides the $1500 cash being offered right now, there are several other discounts out there. If you currently own a competative mini-van, you get $100 conquest cash. If you currently own any Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge product, you get $1000 loyalty cash. You can also get $500 Military cash as well. I am currently in the buying process now and what I have asked sales people to do is to show me the invoice (I am getting supplier discount) and then say this is how much I am paying for the Van with the rebates. Then I am asking them to list out the taxes and then the TTL fees. Then I say that is what I am paying out the door. If your dealer tries to make you pay doc fees, tell em to stick it.

Can anyone pls advise if the published invoices found in the internet is accurate? Do the dealers have more than 1 invoice? Is this the same invoice if you pay a few hundred dollars to Edmunds, Autobytel, etc.? Also, can anyone pls confirm the fees and w/c ones are non-negotiable? I'm in the SF Bay Area (CA) and ready to buy but research may be inaccurate. Looks like invoice postings vary between states and forumers? Is the calculation below correct? Read somewhere that there are other discounts - friends/family (1% under invoice), coupon (750), conquest (500), etc. Is Chrysler’s Signature series (free 2nd/3rd row DVD $1,525) only for Touring? Please let me know w/c dealers gave great deals. Appreciate your advises/help.

Sorry I didn't respond right away - I've been away on business. The dealer was Griffin/Hub Chrysler, Menomonee Falls, WI. The price I gave did not include tax/title, etc. They've been a Dodge & Mitsubishi dealer forever, but just recently started selling Chrysler & Jeep as well. BTW - I actually found slightly better deals at Gandrud Chrysler in Green Bay, WI (a "no haggle" dealership), and at Braeger Chrysler in Milwaukee (through Sam's club). The difference was only about $150, so I decided to stick with the local dealership that I've been going to for service, etc.

New incentive/coupon

by drlawrence on Wed Apr 30 09:05:00 PDT 2008

If you are a current Chrysler customer, keep and eye on your mailbox for the latest issue of Chrysler magazine. Don't throw it out, there may be a $750 coupon hidden inside. Can be used in conjuction with other incentives and employee/friends/supplier pricing. I received the magazine yesterday and, luckily, decided to page through it and found the coupon. Dave
