News, Fine print in Chrysler's 60-day minivan offer. (2010, trucks, replace)

[JD59]

You don't get all your money back if you return a Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country under the Chrysler Group's "minivan pledge" offer -- though a "no questions asked" boast makes is seem so.

An earlier post highlighted the 60-day return program for people who trade in some other brand of van on a Dodge or Chrysler van.

There is always a catch with these kind of offers from the automakers.

I know someone that has bought a new Dodge Caravan and I'm wondering if he knows about this fine print.

In this case it's the automaker, not just that particular dealer. But, if it soulds too good to be true, it ususally is.

dealer in the generic sense... automakers do deal in cars...

and you are correct, TOO good to be true...

but I should have added that if one does not read the fine print, one gets what one deserves.

$200 in damages nixes a return....someone better hope the dealer doesn't decide to replace one tire.

Then again, if you are going through that kind of effort, you better not be turning back.

It's stupid for them to do this. They are nly going to drive customers away when they badly need more.
