I did it!
Yep I did it --Again!
This time it's a 2013 Town and Country L with nav.
I purchased a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan in late 2005 and since it now has well over 200,000 miles on it (without a tune up - only oil, tires, and brakes) I decided it was time to think about another vehicle.
My wife agreed that we should get ANOTHER van - (notice I said another because she wants to keep the Dodge) just incase we have a problem.
Geeze - over $30,000 just because we might have a problem.
As you can imagine it was a bit of fun going to the dealer - we ended up with another light blue one so we now have an almost matching pair -
I certainly hope the 2013 hoes as for 200,000 plus miles without a problem!

I didn't say what I paid for the new Town and Country - only that it is an over $30,000 vehicle.
I got both the Dodge and T&C from the same dealer in Portsmouth NH (about 7 1/2 years apart) for significantly less than sticker. In fact the T&C was almost $5,000 below the sticker. (I checked some of the new car "buying services" and they were not close.) I might have saved a bit more but my time is worth something and their service has been exemplary.

LOL How do you know that I am a typical buyer? "In fact" I do a lot of research before spending MY money on "any" significant purchase.
As for the new T&C van - I might has saved a few dollars going someplace else but this dealer has always given me good service and his price was the lowest I could find - including buyer's clubs, other dealers, and online new car delivery services.
AND I believe that salesmen, dealership owners, and the car companies deserve to make a small profit on what they do, but it should not be exorbitant. The coast of the parts to make something is only part of equation. There are R&D, design, advertising, etc. costs that apply.
Hodges710 - I suggest you get an education in economics.

Congratulations on your new mini van. I too got a pretty good deal from my dealership. It was the manager's van with 3,500 miles on it. A 2013 T/C L and I got it for $28,000, It doesn't have navigation or heated seats, but it does have the deluxe console, carpets, tinted glass and three year paint protectant, applied twice a year. It was almost $7,000 off sticker and dealer add on's.
Really amazed at how much more it has on it compared to my old 2005 Dodge GC. Also how much better it's put together. Fit and finish is very nice. The small touches you would never expect, like umbrella holder, built in rechargeable flashlight, fold in the door sun screens for second and third row windows. Also the 115 volt plug in. Was very glad to see the bigger brakes and ceramic pads on the Chrysler. I had so much brake dust on the Dodge GC that the wheels were always a pain to clean. So many standard features on it, like both front power seats, power lumber driver's seat, lane change warning light, cross path warning, hard drive built into the radio, U-Connect, DVD player, leather seats, on and on. Just soooo much more than what I had on my old Dodge. Dressed it up even more by putting on the wood look inserts around the A/C and heater, around the video screen, switches on the doors, glove box and gear shift. Fits right in with the wood look Chrysler put on the mini van.
