we're looking into buying a new 2013 dodge caravan SE and don't want to over pay for it can you share your experience at the dealership/salesman and how u negotiated the price did u pay cash or finance did u walk out and come back , how much down did u put on your vehicle, what was your negotiating strategy did u make dealerships compete over your business? Or what other minivan do you suggest please share.
Answer
We just bought a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country Touring. It runs for 29,000 to 30,000 for the base price. If you really want everything in your vehicle, then you should go for Town & Country. Chrysler has Dual DVD on Touring-l fully loaded, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path Detection, heated first and second row seats, power third row folding seats and so on. Chrysler and Dodge is good, but Dodge really need to step up their game on the Grand Caravan. When we went to the dealer, we wanted a Limited. We was not approved, and when we got a co-signer, they ( the salesman ) told us no. They were mean, and did not even tell us about the van. We had to get a brochure and explain to them what is standard and what is optional. They did not even let us re-Finance our car. We do like the Touring, But we just know the Limited was best for us. We put 6,000 down for the vehicle. and is still paying it off. When It comes to buying a minivan, you need to have a brochure, go online and read the pricing, and see what comes standard and what is optional. Toyota is good, but Toyota don't really offer what Chrysler/Dodge do. I would tell you more, but that would be to long to read. The Honda Odyssey is great as well. They also offer some of the same stuff Toyota Offer. Like 8 seats ( standard on certain models ) 16inch DVD screen. ( Standard on certain models ) and navigation which is standard on certain models. Minivans are great for families, but when choosing one, You really need to see road test reviews, pricing, standard family features, what's up under the hood, what van is quiet and come with soundproof windows ( Limited Town & Country ) and which one would look good as It wore. These are the Minivans you can search for you and your family.
1. Chrysler Town & Country
2. Dodge Grand Caravan.
3. Honda Odyssey
4. Toyota Sienna
5. Kia Sedona
6. Mazda 5 ( seats six )
7. Nissan Quest
All vans are good, but when It comes to choosing, For me, It's the Town & Country. And remember, when choosing a minivan, get the brochures, read every word, look what standard and what optional, Judge Interior and exterior, Judge engine, and last but not least judge the family features. Good luck. I hope you choose the best minivan for your family.

I need help selecting a Radeon graphics card?
Tacokid9
Long story short, I have 700ish dollars and I've been looking into Geforce GPU's and find them to be lacking power. Radeon seems to be making more bang for my buck as well as more powerful cards.
Can anyone recomend a good card that will last me? Also, if you have something against AMD please speak up.
Answer
AMD cards offer more bang/buck at some price points (most notably under $100), but once you get into midrange cards the top performers trade off depending upon exactly how much you're willing to spend.
AMD is NOT generally more powerful across the board, that's a misconception. It's true that AMD cards do tend to score higher on synthetic benchmark tests (like the Passmark rankings over at http://www.videocardbenchmark.net), but that just illustrates why synthetic benchmarks are no substitute for seeing actual in-game test results. Due to differences in their basic design philosophies, AMD cards have far more processor cores than Nvidia cards, but Nvidia's processor cores are more powerful. AMD's approach is more friendly to benchmark test software.
AMD and Nvidia tend to leapfrog each other with each generation of cards they release. So depending upon who most recently came out with new cards, who's ahead in overall performance switches back & forth.
Also different game titles are optimized differently. Some games favor AMD cards (like Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Arma 2, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, The Witcher 2) while other favor Nvidia cards (like Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, Total War Shogun 2, Batman Arkham City, Starcraft 2)
Only Nvidia cards have hardware-level PhysX support, which adds to the visual experience in games which support it and reduces the workload on your CPU. With AMD cards, terrain physics calculations are offloaded to your CPU. On the other hand, AMD's multi-monitor support has historically been better than Nvidia's.
Nvidia generally has better-coded drivers (fewer problems with texture/shadow display, screen tearing etc) and is quicker at releasing new driver revisions when problems surface. Right now AMD cards are still suffering from longstanding Crossfire performance problems.

To be fair, micro-stuttering is something which can affect both SLI and Crossfire dual-card configurations. It doesn't affect single cards or triple/quad card setups.

Nvidia currently has the most powerful single GPU card (GTX Titan) in addition to the highest bang/buck high-end cards (GTX 770 and GTX 780) but hasn't released a series 7xx replacement for the GTX 690, so AMD still has the most powerful dual-GPU card in the Radeon HD 7990. Never mind the Ares II which really isn't even part of AMD's product line- it's an Asus creation.
Tom's Hardware reviewed the highest of the high-end cards last year. It's a bit dated since the Titan and 7xx cards have been released since then, but still informative in looking at the best offerings from each company and their pros/cons:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7990-devil13-7970-x2,3329-19.html
At $700 you're in no-man's land when it comes to high-end graphics cards. The very top-end dual-GPU cards sell for over $900, and the best single-GPU models only cost around $500. So to maximize bang/buck, you'd be looking at a pair of $350ish cards, provided you're willing to accept the drawbacks of multi-card configurations (higher noise level, higher power consumption, higher heat output, lower overall stability and potential micro stuttering)
You could get a pair of Radeon HD 7970 cards for about $760. That's probably the best value, unless you can spend $800 for a pair of GTX 770's.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-titan-gk110-review,3438-7.html
You might consider a pair of HD 7950 cards for about $600. However, Nvidia's new GTX 760 costs $50 less and usually beats the HD 7950 at resolutions of 1920x1080 or lower. For extreme resolutions like 2560x1600 or running multiple monitors, the 3GB HD 7950 is a b
