It's the original and still the class of the field. This '08 Town & Country Touring is the Walter P. Chrysler Signature Edition and includes just about every option they could throw at it. The back seats can stow flat out of the way. The 2nd row seats can rotate 180* so they face the 3rd row seats which makes for a great party atmosphere that's a Godsend on long trips. There are not one or two but THREE LCD flatscreens including one in the dash & one for each row in the back. The rear screens also have separate AUX input jacks as well as both a 12v power outlet and a 110v inverter outlet so you can hook up separate DVD players or even gaming consoles like an Xbox or PS3. The overhead console runs front to rear and is highlighted with trick LED accent lighting that really sets this van apart from the crowd. Up front is the MyGig AM/FM/XM (Sirius) CD/DVD/HDD player with a built-in 20gb hard drive that you can use to store your music or even photos. It has a USB slot for a memory stick as well as an Ipod jack. It also doubles as a backup camera when you put the van into reverse! It's really hard to describe all the features and options on this van so make sure you watch the video and read the road test below. This van will carry 7 people in comfort while getting mid 20sMPG thanks to the 6-speed automatic transmission. It has keyless entry all built right into the key as well as buttons for opening & closing the power sliding doors and power liftgate. This van was just recently traded-in at the local Chrysler dealer on a new one. I bought it for my wife and she's put nearly 4,000 miles on it in only a couple months. We haven't found any mechanical issues. It has a nice set of tires and rides/drives perfect. If I'm willing to let my wife and 3 boys ride in it then you can rest assured that your family will be safe in it. I wouldn't hesitate to get in and drive this van ANYWHERE. The paint is nice & shiny plus there are no smoking or pet odors in the interior. Don't let the 104k miles worry you...it has no warning lights lit! It doesn't smoke or tap or make any weird noises. It's easy to see that this van has been well-maintained. The leather has no rips or tears so you can rest assured it has seen most highway mileage. We were going to keep it, but the dark Crystal metallic color is a little too close to maroon for our Ole Miss tastes and I found a bright red van to replace it so since I need to pay for the other I'm going to let this one go with a LOW RESERVE that is THOUSANDS below the book value of nearly $18,000!!!NADAguides.com Price Report Rough Trade-InAverage Trade-InClean Trade-InClean RetailBase Price$10,925$12,150$13,150$16,375Options: Rear Air ConditioningStd.Std.Std.Std.Dual Power Sliding DoorsStd.Std.Std.Std.Power SeatStd.Std.Std.Std.Luggage Rack$50$50$50$75Infinity Stereo System$325$325$325$375Leather Seats$500$500$500$575Aluminum/Alloy WheelsStd.Std.Std.Std.Rear Bucket SeatsStd.Std.Std.Std.Rear Entertainment System$500$500$500$575TOTAL PRICE$12,300$13,525$14,525$17,975 2008 Chrysler Town & Country Road TestGeneral Motors and Ford are quitting minivans in favor of crossovers, but Chrysler, the company that invented the modern minivan, is bringing out its fifth generation of the family favorites. Chrysler's outgoing vans ushered in fold-into-the-floor second-row seat stowage (dubbed Stow 'n Go) - a meaningful advantage, particularly for those who regularly carry large pieces of cargo. Other than that, though, the last-generation Chrysler minivans seemed like a halfhearted update. They didn't look very different from their predecessors, and they lost ground to top-flight competitors from Toyota and Honda (note that those companies' interest in minivans does not seem to be waning). The 2008 Chrysler/Dodge vans are an entirely more convincing effort, narrowing the gap in mechanical refinement and bolstering the company's historic penchant for innovation. Unlike the fourth-generation vans, the new Chrysler and Dodge minivans at least look new. The roof and the sills have been widened, creating flatter sides, and the nose has been pulled out, making it more distinct from the body. The whole effect is to make the vans more squared-off and trucklike, moving them away from their egg-shaped predecessors and, perhaps, making them a bit less emasculating for dads who have to be seen in them. Underneath the new skin, the basic chassis design carries over, with key alterations such as a longer wheelbase and a revised suspension. The new top engine, an enlarged version of Chrysler's 3.5-liter V-6, displaces 4.0 liters and cranks out 251 hp. Both the 4.0-liter V-6 and the 197-hp, 3.8-liter unit use a new six-speed automatic that gives the whole powertrain more polish. The taller top gear helps make highway cruising quieter - as does the im-proved drag coefficient and the thicker side glass - although the engines' sound quality still isn't as refined as that of the best Japanese competitors. The six-speed has Chrysler's AutoStick manual shift capability, but the movement of the dash-mounted gear lever felt sloppy in the preproduction examples we drove. The base engine soldiers on with a four-speed transmission, although it has a revised cam profile that helps extract more power and torque from its 3.3 liters. The vans ride on a wider track (2.5 inches at the front, 0.8 inch in back), their steering has lower effort, and the damper-strut front and beam-axle rear suspension has been retuned for a smoother ride. Our fears that these priorities would deliver one-finger steering and woozy body motions proved unfounded. (Still, we did prefer the slightly firmer setup that is exclusive to the 4.0-liter Dodge, which suffers no real degradation in ride quality - at least none that we could feel on the smooth byways of our test route in San Diego County.) For all the mechanical upgrades, Chrysler engineers really concentrated their efforts on adding new features. The headline-maker is the new Swivel 'n Go seating option. Available on all trim levels, Swivel 'n Go consists of second-row seats that can spin around to face rearward and a removable table that stows in the underfloor storage compartment when not in use. Seat-mounted seat belts allow riders to face rearward while the car is in motion. It's a neat - and unique - setup, but it has two downsides: the swiveling seats can't stow in the floor (although underfloor storage remains), and the front seats can't slide all the way back when the seats are facing rearward. Buyers who opt not to swivel and go instead get Stow 'n Go seating - except on the base trim level, which has a second-row bench. In all cases, the third row is a split bench that tumbles into the floor (now with available power operation) and also can face rearward for tailgating. With rear-seat DVD players now a family-car necessity, Chrysler wisely made a special effort to put its new minivans on the leading edge of in-car entertainment. The DVD player features two large, eight-inch diagonal screens that can play two different videos or two different media. In addition to videos, Chrysler offers Sirius satellite TV, with three channels of kid fare (Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network). Up front, you can get Chrysler's MyGig hard drive, onto which one can download 20 gigabytes of music. And, yes, Mom and Dad can listen to their own tunes (or satellite radio, or CDs) while the kids remain transfixed by their electronic screens. The full features assault continues in many lesser ways as well, with Chrysler picking up items first seen on competitors, such as roll-down windows in the sliding doors, a convex inside mirror, and side-window sunshades. The interior surfaces, particularly in the Town & Country, aren't as depressingly cheap as some of the company's recent efforts. Overall, the new minivans make modest strides in refinement and design but significant upgrades in family-friendly features. At a time when Chrysler's corporate ownership is in flux, it's nice to see this once-again-American manufacturer return to form as an innovator in the segment it created. We inspect and photo what you see and what you can't see. We'll also be glad to email you detailed, closeup pictures of any area you'd like to see more of. People ask us all the time what is the catch to our vehicles. They assume that the prices are low because there is something wrong with them. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our secret is simple...LOW OVERHEAD. We are an internet-only dealer. We do not maintain regular office hours or a large sales facility. We simply have a Mississippi bonded dealer's license, a storage lot, and a computer. Since we don't have dozens of mechanics, helpers, salesmen, secretaries, etc. on our payroll; we are able to sell at greatly reduced prices. You will notice that we sometimes go with private auctions. Our reasons are twofold...the latest scam is to send bogus 2nd chance offers to customers from a fake email address in an attempt to scam them out of money. With a private auction the scammers won't know who our bidders are so if you get a 2nd chance offer from us you will know that it is the real deal! In addition, we set our reserves to sell which upsets other sellers! In fact, sometimes we set our reserve $1,000 or more below what our cost is. This leads other sellers to email our customers and knock our product! We will provide the winning bidder, upon request, with a complete bid history including the usernames & bid amounts of all other bidders. All new or low feedback (under 5 positives) bidders must first email us for no other reason than just to make contact. This way we know we have serious bidders! If you don't make contact we will cancel your bid and black you out from future bidding. We do this to avoid the de@dbe@t bidders, so please respect our policy. If you have a rating of 5 or better you don't have to email us. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy our site and add us to your favorites, because you just never know when your dream vehicle will pop up!!! We've put this vehicle through our EXTENSIVE inspection process & can report it has a great ride & drive! We do our best to let you know of any/all issues we can find on these vehicles since you're buying sight-unseen. The only thing we'd nitpick is the power liftgate sometimes clunks while it's raising. It works fine though. WATCH THE VIDEO. If you have any specific questions then don't hesitate to call us email us. Please understand we do our best to describe, in detail, every vehicle we offer to the Ebay public. However, if you have any hesitation during the bidding period, please obtain a Buyer's Inspection PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR BID to satisfy yourself. After the auction ends, understand you are the legal winning bidder of this auction and agree to all our Terms and Conditions. Feel free to fly-in & drive this one home to momma! It is mechanically sound & ready to make a trip. Be sure and take a look at the book values on this vehicle (or any other we have for sale) before you bid. We stopped offering a built-in BuyIt Now option due to ebay's policy of letting anyone with an email address register a username. We had half a dozen de@dbe@t bidders in a row hit the BIN with no intention of paying. We do have a BuyIt Now price so give us a call if you're interested. Make sure you call us for more information on this vehicle. As always though, our reserve is THOUSANDS less than NADA value so bid early & bid often so you don't miss out! Don't be outbid at the last minute! With the eBay proxy bidding system all you have to do is enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay when you get ready to bid. Ebay will then automatically bid against other people for you up to that amount to help make sure you don't miss out. This saves you from getting sniped in the last few seconds of an auction by someone with a computer program. Don't try and bid in small increments at the last minute...go ahead & bid the full amount you're willing to pay then let eBay do the hard work! This vehicle is for sale locally so we must reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. However, once the reserve is met then we will let the auction run its course & sell to the high bidder. Now for the fine print...

We must be able to verify funds prior to vehicle delivery. Generally we have almost all titles on hand.

On Average, Titles Go Out Within a Few Days, But Occasionally There May Be Delays Beyond Our Control. We Cannot Accept Credit Card or Escrow Payments.

This is how we make our living. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to Ebay, and negative feedback posted.

IF THE RESERVE IS NOT MET, WE MAY CONTACT THE HIGH BIDDER TO OFFER THE SECOND CHANCE OPTION. At our dealership we work very hard to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle.
