Question: What do you think of the Chrysler Aspen 2008????
It can tow up to 8750 LBS... Is that true?

Answer: Very Luxury SUV. Go ahead, good Engines and no many problems at all. Make sure you feel comfortable driving it at normal temperature. The idle RPMS (when you stop in a red light for instance) can drop below 750 RPMS and start shaking a little bit... About towing capacity... don´t take that risk... even if the SUV can handling.

We are interested in the 2008 Aspen and do have a discount number given to us but want some idea of how much of a discount it is.

Answer: it should be 1% over invoice plus any rebates...dont let them tell you that you dont get the rebates...they should have a sheet/invoice with the msrp and the employee price...

Question: Is the third row in a 2008 Chrysler Aspen removable?
I am thinking about trading in my current car for a Chrysler Aspen. I am big into sound systems and i am wondering if it would be possible to remove the third row to put a sub woofer box in its place. If it is not removable, do you think it would be possible to just put a subwoofer box over the third row?

Answer: ya, i actually just got a 2008 aspen as well, great vehicle, and yes the third row will come out,

Question: What would be the mileage with chrysler aspen hybrid?
I have a Chrysler 300C with me. While I love the car it gives me about 18miles/gallon on city roads and about 21 on freeways. I was looking at Chrysler Aspen coming out with Hybrid this fall and was wondering about its mileage to a gallon. Also any advice on alternative options would be useful. I am looking to going more green and saving on gas.

Answer: The problem is that the Chrysler's hybrid version has not been released yet. Sure, Chrysler can make claims as to the expected fuel savings but there are no real world, public driven, privately owned examples yet so your guess of the actual mileage is just as good as my guess...

Question: I bought a 07 Chrysler Aspen and my payment is $700/mo. How do I get my payment lower or get rid of this car?

Question: I just bought an 07 chrysler Aspen and i dont know if I made a good deal?
I got the payments for 531. a month and total with intrest is 38,000 and it was 22,000 for 72 months. wow what did i do please help is there any way i can back out of the signed contact i mean dony i have 24 hours or something ?

Answer: Um yea! bad deal. You should buy a 1yr old car, it loses about 7-10k in value the first year. So next year you'r 22k car will only be worth some 15k or there about. 72 months? No buenos! Try taking it back and getting another one. Don't focus on the monthly payment next time. Haggle the price of the car before they add taxes and before they add an rebates. So if the car it'self is 18000, try haggling for 17000 or 16500. Then add the rebate, then add tax and registration. Best place to buy a car really, is carmax. They always have vehicles way below blue book value

Answer: CHRYSLER give 20 to 23 miles per gallon (on highway)

Well i have a 2008 Chrysler Aspen, great vehicle, But it has a 5.7 L Hemi, i know that cold air intakes Help gas mileage and help engines life, but is worth the over 300 dollars for it????

Answer: nope not worth it. You will never make up the cost of the intake in gas savings. Plus you are working with such a large suv. Just drive a little slower if you are looking for savings at the pump.
