Since Chrysler announced its Minivan Pledge, we’ve been alerted to some of the deal’s fine print. The pledge allows customers to trade in any vehicle for the purchase of a new 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan or Chrysler Town and Country and return the minivan within 60 days, “no questions asked.”

However, if you choose to return the vehicle, you won’t be entitled to a full refund. You will owe Chrysler or Dodge 30 cents for every mile you’ve driven, and don’t even think about returning the vehicle after 29 days because Chrysler says you must keep it for at least 30.

The deal will also be void if you put more than 4,000 miles on the minivan or if more than $200 worth of damage is done to it.

So according to Chrysler, if you return a vehicle, you can expect to get back the price you paid minus “any negative equity or taxes, registration fees, excess mileage, excessive damage.”

Just goes to show that you should always read the fine print.
