I feel so bad I think we should all chip in and buy this guy a ram.

 

Hey!!!! I've got a '08 Grand Caravan!
Mom's lease on her '05 was up when she was in the hospital with the cancer, so I returned it and bought an '08, she drives it, the down pmt. came out of her bank account, she makes the payment, but it's in my name - you could look it up...
Just for those comments, I'm gonna take pics of it this weekend and feature the thing in my album!!! I also want someone to nominate me for COTM for it next month!!!

 

You are so proud of the van that it's not even listed on your sig, lol!

 

Hate to tell ya, but that van does not get very good mileage either...

 

yeah, its not all that much better, but it's getting about 24-26. Uff-da!

I actually like it (for her), but it should be parked right next to MY RAM.

 

Actually the '08s are nice. This one is top of the line, every option except DVD. I took this girl I'm kinda seeing and her two kids (five year old and two year old) up to Ga. for xmas in it and it was really comfortable for trips. It's got the Nav system, UConnect and the stereo has a HDD in it. Drives mom crazy cause I d/l'd all my classic rock songs off the ipod onto it.
Interior is really nice and even though I like the stow-n-go seats for the convenience of folding them under the floor, we got the swivel ones in this one because it's super easy to swivel a rear seat facing the door and getting my step dad from the wheelchair into it. I really do like it, wouldn't have one for myself though - I'm not that friggin old yet!!!
The new 4.0 V6 has got ***** too, I've already smoked a little wise a$$ in a Civic trying to impress his g/f. But yea, the gas mileage isn't even as good as my 4.7 H.O. Grand Cherokee...

 

I got the 07 Touring for 16,300. She wanted an 08, but just too much of a difference in price.

 

I play golf with the sales mgr. I got the first '08 delivered on the lot with a sticker on the window of $32,400 for a tad under $27,000. Not a huge discount by any means, but with them just hitting the dealers last Sept. and no rebate or anything to work with, I didn't think it was that bad. Whoever got her lease trade in got a steal, I was actually trying to talk her into buying it out, she could have had it for $12,750, but she had it for three years and would have financed for three and she didn't want the same vehicle for six years. It was a fairly loaded '05, and because she got cancer a year and half into the lease, it only had 14,800 miles on it the day I turned it in.
What the sales mgr. did to help us out a little was he had us buy out the '05 for the $12,750 and turn around and trade it on the '08 giving us $14,750 for the '05 in trade, so that helped get the new one down from $27k to $25k...

 

Thats too bad about turning in the Ram, but what can you do. Peyton Manning said something about putting flames on the minivan and Hammer talked about the supercharger. Now, that would be something on a T&C. Good luck.

yeah, what the hell,.......right? Its all good. like I said, I still have my little toy, and I will be back on the Ram scene. after the winter, I'm going to look for an 02 or 03 to buy outright.
