Anybody leasing a Montana, and if so, how much? Any money down?

Anyone have any suggestions for which mini van would be good for pulling a 2,000 lb. popup camper? Would I be better off with a full size van ?

gator, I have a deal worked out with my local dealer for a Transport Montana which stickers at $28,165. Purchase price: $25, 679 ($1 over invoice) Residual: 61% (will make purchasing at the end a losing proposition) Security deposit waived ($0) Interest rate: 9% (this really stinks) 36 months, 15K miles: $354 with tax Money to start: $4000 I live in California so we don't get the rebates that the rest of the country does, so you may be able to do better. Just watch how they vary the residual. I would prefer a lower residual and a lower interest rat to maintain the same payment, just in case I really like the car and want to keep it at the end. For $372(which includes the refundable security deposit) I'm getting a loaded GLS Silhouette (MSRP $28,990) which I may go for instead(has 4% interest rate, lower residual, leather, power pass. seat). Hope this helps, let me know what you get.

wadhwam, thanks. Residual in DC area is 42%. I like the looks of the Montana, but I'm also looking at Grand Caravans new and used. Or, I may bottom feed and get a 95 or 96 loaded Town and Country. Decisions, Decisions. Of course, what I'd really like to do is get a SUV with a third seat -- Expedition, Durango, Montero -- to sastisfy my wife's seating mandate, but I'm priced out of those choices at this point. I'll be making some kind of decision over the next 2-3 months. Might get a good deal on a new 98 Montana/Grand Caravan LE as the 99s start to roll in. We'll see.

#101 of 1454 Pontiac Trans Sport GT ? by roy3 Aug 07, 1998 (3:36 pm)
I am interested in buying a '92 Pontiac Trans Sport GT. Anyone know of any problems with this modle? Are owners happen and recommend it to others?

I have had problems with my brake peddle going all the way to the floor. My brakes feel mushy. My 1998 Trans Sport has 3,400 mi. on it. I have been to the dealer 3 times, had a new master cylinder put in as well as real cylinders. The dealer has been nice, but they can't figure it out. I think they will have to build be a whole new van to get it right. Has any else had brake problems? I like the van, but I think I got a lemon.

duster: sounds to me like you have air in your brake system. When that happens the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. Have the dealership inspect the system for leaks, bleed and refill the system. Since the van is so new I suspect the system was filled improperly on the assembly line allowing air to be introduced into the system. Good luck.

Found an outfit called AutoEase which is sponsored by AAA. They will order a vehicle from the factory for you and deliver it to a local dealer. I am considering leasing a 99 Transport (extended) with two-tone paint, 8 passenger seating, roof rack, front and rear AC, overhead console, alloy wheels, Option Package C, CD player, and power sliding door. $500 deposit, $175 for title and registration, $10 documentation fee, free gap insurance. $373.09 for 48 months (6.9% money factor). 15K a year. Taxes are rolled into the monthly payment. Went to the dealer to test drive and get some brochures then left. I think that I am avoiding all the hassle associated with car buying and getting a better deal than I could negotiate at a dealer all day. One potential drawback is that the wait is 8-12 weeks. And I have the feeling that with the strike it might be a little longer. I don't need the van until October so it works in my case. Thought I'd pass the info on.

I really like the 98 Transport and am thinking of buying one. Has there been any special offers or improved rebates offered on them since the strike ended.
