As I've mentioned before we're in the market for a new minivan, and I've been doing TONS of research to make sure we get exactly what we want for a good price, as I know all of you bargain shoppers on the BBB would do too. I've been spending time at kbb.com and edmunds, etc.
Well, this morning, I went on edmunds and searched "town & country" from the home page and an offer came up that said it was an edmunds.com "special offer." It instructed me to sign up by email, then purchase the van (you have 30 days to do so), then complete some paperwork. It amounts to $1000 off your purchase price. You don't tell the dealer about this, because it comes off after the fact, and you don't work the special through the dealer, but through a website.
I'm a skeptic by nature, so I googled "edmunds special offer" to see if it was legit. I was happily surprised to see it mentioned on slick deals last year for a Camry. People were saying they purchased on the 4th of the month, sent in rebate on the 7th got check about 20 days later.
According to slick deals you don't want to have pop-ups blocked to get the alert for this, but I'm using safari on my mac and DO have pop-ups blocked. Hope this helps someone else!
