#315 of 821 Purchase Experience by parrothead3300 Mar 16, 2004 (9:39 am)
Bought my new 2004 Chrysler Pacifica FWD w/ "R" Package at Kernersville (NC) Chrysler Dodge on 3/28. Listed for $37,300 plus installation of hitch platform, 7-wire harness, and chrome exhaust tip. Traded a 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXi w/ 91K miles, a bad fuel pump, and a leaking head gasket. Including everything, traded for $27,500 turnkey (3% sales tax in NC). I was satisfied based on what I learned from Edmonds and Kelly Blue Book websites. Dealer salesperson - and, best I can tell, everyone else there - has never read the manual to the vehicle. They gave me some bad answers on what the vehicle could and could not do (they were completely ignorant of the EVIC programming features; thought break-in was 500, not 300 miles; insisted that 3,000 service frequency was a requirement for warranty to remain valid - it isn't; had no knowledge of PIN number for keys or key codes, either). Could go on and on, but you get the jist of it. From this website, I learned how important it is to read the manual - and I can tell you, the car can virtually be custom fit to your personal idiosyncrasies if you read the book! Thanks to all who stressed that. Have about 2500 miles on the car so far; getting about 21.5 mpg which seems great to me considering the weight of the vehicle. Using 89 octane fuel as suggested in the manual, not 87 octane. Understand the complaints about "lack of power"; it ain't a rocket, but it goes plenty fast for me accelerating into traffic streams, passing, etc. I'm pleased. The quiet is fantastic; the comfort of the driver's seat is superb; the feel of the road as you firmly glide along is just great. VERY sure footed. I love the vehicle!!
#316 of 821 89 octane by imidazol97 Mar 16, 2004 (12:36 pm)
The engine is supposed to increase compression as the rings seat. The maximum compression on some motors is reached at about 5000 miles. That's when it might need the 89 octane most. Then after that it should need it less.   BUT it should adapt to 87 by spark retard, which most people would never notice. There's something wrong if you're getting knocking or pinging on 87. See your dealer. It could be your gas in your area is formulated so that it causes that.
#317 of 821 Pacifica Purchase by bshelljeep Mar 23, 2004 (11:12 am)
I bought my Inferno Red AWD Pacifica with chrome wheels for $27,216 after the $3,000 rebate. MSRP was $33,955 and invoice was $31,140. I normally buy slightly used cars, but in this case it made sense to buy new because even the used Pacificas are so new. I just wasn't finding the typical depreciation and it didn't seem worth it to me to only get a couple thousand dollars off for a used car. One word of caution, if you are seeing used FWD Pacificas for less than $26,000 as reported in post #313, it may for the Premium, not Luxury model. The premium model doesn't come with side airbags, fog lights, auto headlights, EVIC, adjustable pedals, etc. Edmunds and all of you were invaluable to me when making my purchase. I knew much more than the salesman thanks to you and was able to buy my Pacifica and trade my jeep knowing I was not ripped off! In one case, I had a salesman say to me, "That's what you want to pay for a $33,000 car?" when I told him my price. I just walked out- I wasn't going to waste my time being treated like an idiot-it happened to be the dealer where I originally bought the jeep I was trading- their loss! Thanks again!
#318 of 821 Pacifica Purchase @ Houston by fms1 Mar 23, 2004 (7:18 pm)
Bought my new 2004 Chrysler Pacifica FWD w/ "R" Package at Gillman Chrysler Dodge on 3/20. Listed for $37,820 purchased for $33,900 before rebate. Vehicle has everything except sunroof, heated seats and high-intensity headlights. Shopped around for about three weeks and sent out a number of price request. Couldn't find a vehicle that had only equipment we wanted and ended up purchasing one with more. But, I think we got a great deal and the folks at the dealership are great. Best transaction and experience I've ever had and at 50, I've had a few.
#319 of 821 Potential Purchase by fulldomination Mar 25, 2004 (6:34 am)
If i were to buy a pac with leather, sunroof, and heated seats, what would be the average price of purchase after talking the dealer down? With a car costing this much, would it be better to take zerop percent or the rebate? email me at mac_jaggyhotmail.com

#324 of 821 Lynzee... by vsroman Mar 26, 2004 (10:55 am)
Ask your dealer to fax you the invoice. Compare what his discounted selling price is compared to the dealer invoice (NOT MSRP). If it is more than 300 over, your dealer is asking too much IMHO. I recently paid 400 below the dealer invoice. You can't just use the invoice on edmunds because of regional marketing fees the dealer must pay in addition to the actual invoice cost as shown on edmunds. It is usually a few hundred. If you're not in love with that particular car or getting the price I described above, read my earlier post (MESSAGE 300) and maybe my method will work for you.   By the way, that price of around invoice is BEFORE your rebate. You will actually pay around 3000 BELOW dealer invoice or even a little better. Remember, you are working from DEALER INVOICE not LIST or MSRP.   And don't forget to get the free oil change coupons!   Good Luck. It is a great car...we love it so far!
