I'm looking at a Touring L, I have the cash to buy outright but I will finance thru Chrysler or Ally to get a better deal then pay it off after a month.
base price MSRP = $34,495
optional equipment $1265 (Customer Preferred Package 25L) 8-Passenger Seating $495 KeySense™ $175 Uconnect® 8.4 $595 Uconnect® Access 6-Mo Trial (Registration Req'd) 8.4-Inch Touchscreen Display NAV-Capable Uconnect
Net price w/ destination charge = $36,775
From reading this forum,
1)I can get a $1000 rebate from either Sam's Club, Edmunds or Pacifica Lead Intercept Program TDM Offer (I have no idea what the Lead Intercept program is or if I qualify for it).
2) finance thru Chrysler Capital for $1000 cash back
3) Conquest/loyalty cash $500, I'll be coming from an 2005 Acura TL
Total of $2500 in rebates/cash. Am I missing something or added something that I shouldnt?
NADA invoice price = $35,508
Truecar estimate= $34,715
$34,715 - $2500 = $32,215 + TTL or do I pay tax on the pre-rebate/cash back price?
Has anyone purchased thru the Costco Auto program? Would I get a better deal going thru the Costco Auto Buying Program? I'm pretty bad at negotiating and impatient.

The conquest/loyalty cash should be $1000. Ask your dealer if they have any "dealer specific" incentive coupons from Chrysler. If so, that will get you another $500.

Does that Truecar estimate already include the current incentives?

Tax is calculated differently in every state. In Vermont, the tax is based on the purchase price after the rebates are applied and after any trade-in is deducted. I ended up paying around $1000 in tax.

I did not add in the incentives when i priced it out on Truecar. I debating if i should just go thru Costco auto, since I hate negotiations. And thanks for the conquest tip. Truecar has the incentive at $1000, not $500 in my zip code

If you have a dealer in your area that participates in the Costco Auto service, go for it. I think the Costco price is usually around invoice minus $500, which would be pretty close to half the holdback on that van, which is a good deal in my opinion.

Awesome! Thanks for the information!
