Robert goes shopping for a “Town and Country!”

Tag: Consumers, DaimlerChryslerRobert Lamb @ 4:26 pm

     new-canadian-pricing.jpgWell, we are pretty well sick of watching the Chrysler “Canadian Pricing” adds on TV, each time really not believing, thinking they were just like the others, Honda etc…

But I challenged myself to go shopping for a T & C. town-and-country.jpg  so we did our homework on the internet. 

Canadian pricing was $44,495 less my “allowance” of  $3350 giving $$41,145

So we called a local Montreal dealer that we knew very well and he came up with a price of $42,150, it seems I wasn’t reading the add right.  But the sale was on until the end of the Month.  They might continue it!  He warned me about the warranty issue, we would not be covered if we purchased in the U.S.

 Note: It was so busy at one dealer they had me on hold for over ten minutes.

So then we did our thing with the US internet site and came up with a price of $39,315

 We called a dealer in Vermont, and they were too busy to talk, but assured us they would send us an e-mail with a quote and the best price. 

STAY TUNED , but given Chryster’s track record for transmission problems and the fact they will not honor the warranty, we are leaning to the Canadian side.  The difference after US dollar conversion ( at .99 plus another 1-2% to convert the $$ ) , appear to be less than $1000

Could it be that Chrysler is “truly” adopting fair pricing for Canadians!   Has anyone else out there looked at the pricing on Chrysler product?
