#470 of 816 2004 Pacifica AWD 26R by pea Feb 24, 2005 (7:51 am)
We are on the eve (literally) of making this purchase. It's a 2004 model (fully loaded w/GPS, DVD player, Sun Roof, etc) that has been at the dealer for over a year. It considered brand new. The MSRP is around $40K and we are making an offer of $29K. (The dealer has accepted it over the phone we still have to go look at the car)   The main concern I have is that this car has been sitting idle for over a year and I wonder if there is anything I should be looking for.   We did a fair amount of research and the bottom line is that we can buy an 05 with less options for $1500 more than we are paying for this loaded 04.   From reading this post, I know some early 04 had some issues...I did the CHrysler VIN number check and it was clean...Anyother ideas on how I can find more info on this specific car?   Thanks for your assitance

Well you may want to take a thorough test drive and have the dealer check the battery and exchange it for a new one if its low. Also, if you decide to purchase the car you should look at the build date and possibly have all the TSB's (that are applicable for that build) performed on the vehicle before you actually take it home.
#472 of 816 Why look for trouble ? by rodut Feb 24, 2005 (3:38 pm)
I wouldn't want you to come back on this site and complain you had problems. Some people would be too happy. Pacifica is a great car even without GPS, DVD, sunroof and other fancy stuff. I understand it's made end of 2003. People reported lots of trouble caused by those cars. Why you look for trouble ? For $1500 ?   There are no reported problems for Pacs made during the 2nd half of 2004. That would be 2005 model year. My 2005 FWD Pac computer reported at 100 miles (so beginning of the break-in) a 23.5 MPG mileage on the highway (steady 60 miles/hour). Look on different sites how much was the mileage of some older Pacs. That should eat your $1500 profit pretty fast.
#473 of 816 used 2004 pacifica by bob49 Feb 28, 2005 (11:09 pm)
Howdy all! I just purchased a used 2004 Pac FWD leather, power everything, tailgate lift, 6 cd/dvd , MINUS -- heated seat, sunroof, Intermizzo, and navigation. It was a corporate lease that was shipped from Michigan with 20150 miles on it. Paid $20750 for car and a total out the door price of $22351 which included t t and title. They were asking $22999. They say they are a wholesale shop. How bad do you think I got rolled???
#474 of 816 2005 chrysler pacifica touring awd need help! by mikemariat Mar 07, 2005 (1:07 pm)
reuel3: can you help me?    I went to a dealer on 3/1/05 and  received a lease quote as follows:    39 month lease  MSRP: 33,800.00  Price: $32,265.00  C.O.D.: $700.00  Rebate: $3000.00  Cap Reduction: $3,700.00  Total: $28,565.00  Bank Fee: $700.00    Net Lease: $29,265.00  Residual: 48%  Net Residual: $16,224.00  Preferred Pkg: 26U  Full Size spare    Total Due at signing: $2,476.75 (inc: 1st  payment of $395.79, C.O.D. of $700.00;  Registration of $50.00; Tire Tax of $7.50;  Tax & Misc of $1004.46; license fee of $319.00)    Monthly Payment = $395.79   This seems like alot per month with almost $2500.00 down up front. Where do you feel I can negotiate with this dealer that can make an impact on the monthly lease amount of $395.79? I would like to have the payments in the $350.00 range if at all possible.

Replying to: mikemariat (Mar 07, 2005 1:07 pm) Well, right away I'd say don't lease for more than 36 months. We usually advise folks not to lease beyond the manufacturer's warranty expiration.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions

Replying to: mikemariat (Mar 07, 2005 1:07 pm) I would love to give you some great pearl of wisdom, but I'm not much help on the lease end of things. I would agree with Kirstie's post in that a 39-month lease is not necessarily the best deal in general. The numbers look pretty in line overall, and I had my source at Chrysler financial check out your deal, and he seemed to think it was a decent set up. Now, keep in mind that he is obviously structuring deals to make Chrysler money, but he indicated that the dealer was probably not making a whole lot based on those figures. Hopefully some other members can come along and give you some comparisons to what they received. Good luck!
