Buy a town and country mini van, get free DVD + $3K!

If you buy a Town and Country mini van from Chrysler before January 4th, you can get a free DVD player plus $3,000 bucks!

Chrysler is boosting sales prospects along with other auto manufacturers as they push to clear December inventorys. According to Auto Remarketing, an industry newsletter, the almost defunct company is offering incentives across the board. incentives include five year, zero rate financing, $3,000 cash back or service and maintenance for 36,000 miles or 3 years. Given the Chrysler's projected longevity, the 3 year deal may not be so hot.

The good news is the zero rate finance deal is available on the jeep brand of vehicles, as well. The cash back incentive is even better, $4,000 bucks! The service and maintenance deal is available too. That makes sense for a hard core four wheel drive guy who hits Brutal Red Cone Peak in Colorado!

The Dodge lineup is a little less generous. While the zero percent finance deal can be had, the cash back is only $2,500 bucks. An all wheel drive system can be added to the Dodge Charger at no cost, according to Auto Remarketing.

Buyers of the Dodge truck get a slightly less attractive deal. The rate increases to 2.9%, not nearly as good a bargain. The cash back offer is $2,500 smaks. The Dodge truck ranks

For those interested in Dodge cars, again, the choice is available of zero-percent financing for up to 60 months. Buyers can also opt to take $2,500 cash back. And if they want a Dodge Charger, an all-wheel drive system can be added at no extra cost.

For Dodge Ram Trucks, buyers can pick among three options: zero-percent financing for up to 48 months, 2.9 percent financing for up to 60 months or cash back up to $2,500.

If you are lucky enough to be able to afford a new set of wheels in this sad economy, then this is a good time to take advantage of these incentives. Dealers are further motivated by tax law that assesses a 1% inventory tax on unsold units, a bitter pill to swallow by an industry hard hit from imports and the economic climate.
