Replying to: volvomax (Jun 26, 2009 8:05 am) We just had to replace the AC compressor at just over $1600. It is the third major repair the car has undergone, the first two under warranty, none were recall or TSB problems. We are concerned the problems will continue and are sick of the indefinite back order time periods every time parts are needed. We are looking to find something with a better reliability record. Our first choice right now is a Subaru Outback with its 2000 cash back and 2.9% financing. Other than the mechanical problems we have really like the CX-7. The local Subaru dealer offerd 13,000 to start and eventually got up to 16,800 at MSRP, in other words invoice on his car and ~15,000 on the CX-7. So it looks like you and him are on the same page. Thanks for taking your time to reply. |

Replying to: deltheking (Jun 25, 2009 1:44 pm) deltheking: We only have 7K miles so we have not experienced any of the issues you mentioned nor any other issues. Van has been great thus far. We just miss some of the little things our Odyssey had that we took for granted. Second row windows roll down, 60/40 rear seats split, all the cubby/storage spaces and location, just things you never really appreciated until you lost it. We too got a screamin' deal on the van. It was during Nissan's "unadvertised" rebate program, dealer sells x amount of vans, trucks, suvs and they'll get $5K for each one they sell, plus the normal rebates it came with. The Quest has more "toys" than our '06 Odyssey EX and we overlooked the functional usage. Based on volvomax's estimate, it'll be a $3K hit from the OTD price from a year ago and a pretty decent equity amt going into a new vehicle.

Replying to: overworked_guy (Jun 26, 2009 12:05 pm) Trade it in and get either a Sienna or an Odyssey.If u dont mind a used one,Go for the used Odyssey EX-L or Sienna XLE/Limited.They are really luxurious especially the Sienna XLE Limited trim which is like a Lexus. A new Odyssey LX right now is 23k +TTL.Around the same for the Sienna.Outright luxurious would be the Sienna XLE Limited.But first trade in the Quest as fast as you can!!

I'm looking to trade-in my 2002 Lexus ES300 auto, white with 108K miles. It's in good condition with the exception of a small crack in the front windshield(star shaped on lower part right of center) and damage to passenger side mirror(cracked front rim of the housing secondary to pulling of the garage too close to the side). I tried to have the windshield repaired this weekend, but the attempted fix actually resulted in a slight larger crack. Would cost $200+ to replace windshield. I've tenatively scheduled a repair for the passenger side mirror housing, ~$250 if only the housing needs to be replace, over $500 if the mirror needs replacing as well if the newer type housing doesn't fit the old mirror component. My primary question is whether or not to fix any of this prior to trade-in or should I leave it if the cost of repair may exceed any increment in trade-in value? Thanks
