Chrysler is running an ad on cable tv, with zero per cent financing for 60 months and no payments until summer, but the local dealers don't seem to know anything about this nor does the Chrysler web site show any of this, does anyone know what is going on?

Hey, rmbalisa, I have been researching on minivans for a while for my 3 year-old daughter and a baby on the way as well my parents. I have been struggling to make the final decision between Honda Oddesy and Chrysler T &C touring. Although I am not an American I would like to support the American industry. In fact, my daughter was so enjoying playing the side power sliding door of T & C at the dealer. When I asked her which one she liked after we went to Honda dealer her answer was Chrysler. I love to be a cool dad. If you can try to get an EC number I will definitely to buy it around Christmas. If there is any information needed please email me at lueryy2002@yahoo.com Thanks again.

Heck, where do you live and what color is the T&C? I'll buy it from you! I'm in the opposite situation -- bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX after having T&Cs for 8 years. HATE the Odyssey and looking at trading it in. have had NUMEROUS problems (repeated battery issues, cruise control doesn't work, etc.) with it, it doesn't have near the convenience features that the Chrysler products had, it is amazingly harder to use and less comfortable than the American cars I have driven (stupid things like no chime when you are low on gas and the gauge is directly behind the steering wheel so I don't see it regularly -- I've almost run out of gas many times. Or the AC/heat controls are awkward and counterintuitive and the heat doesn''t really blow on your feet -- my feet are always cold in this car. You can't lock the sliding doors with the keyfob until they shut completely, and they are SLOW, AND the range isn't very good, so you have to stand there and wait for the doors. It's much slower than just doing it manually. And NO ability to pick the options you want -- because I didn't want leather and a sunroof, I also couldn't get power liftgate, compass, etc.) Honestly, I am shocked that people like the Hondas as much as they do. I fell for the hype and this was my first Honda and will definitely be my last. And in this economy, the resale value seems more theoretical than anything else...It's in good shape and low miles and KBB is more than $20,000 private party and I owe $18,000, but I am being offered $14,000-$15,000 or so on a trade-in (from 3 different places), so I am stuck with it for awhile. If I could get the deal you got on a T&C I'd take the hit and trade this one in in a minute. You seem to be lurching from one impulsive decision to the next, but I hope your next choice works out better than the last one -- and better than mine!

Dear friends in cyber autoland, PLEASE, PLEASE think twice before making the final decision between Chrysler, toyota or honda. Do not find yourself in my situation having bought a 2008 T&C signature series and trading it in three days later. I cannot blame no one but myself for not researching the product carefully. Long story/short the economy is too critical to make mistakes. If you like your chrysler product then thats good for you, but if there is any doubt go with the sure shot. After spending 23k +fees on our T&C three days later I was offered 17k trade in for it. Of course I ran out of there...... . Luckily a kind hearted toyota dealer in town offered us 21k trade in towards a 09 sienna le, cutting down my loss to $3500.00. He allowed us to take the sienna home overnight and see how we feel about it. Tomorrow I am camping at the dealership and closing this chapter. Good luck to all of you friends!

I agree ... Sienna wins this battle hands down. Which is a shame. Here is a potential buyer (or many, on this forum alone), who walks into your showroom, receives good service, is willing to purchase the higher-end version of your product, even in this economy. They find that it's $4,000 cheaper than their competitor, and yet, they walk away. Really a shame, specially at this time, when the company is hurting like it is. How can one hope for a recovery? Signing off from my soapbox!

Your best option is the Toyota sienna xle.It is the best of all the minivans out there.The interior with the wooden trim,leather seats, and the quiet ride is great.I have a Sienna now and i previously had the Dodge caravan which had so many problems. I test drove the 2008 Caravan and the TC minivans too. The ride was harsh and the road noise was very audible.The interior was too much hard plastic.For $20000+ , I would expect better.Also if reliability,durability and trouble free maintenance is important,,definetely go with the Sienna.You just won`t go wrong . Also I would consider the long term viability of Chrysler with their bankruptcy status..If you are spending $ 30 k,, make a good reliable trouble free choice with the Sienna. Good luck.
