#521 of 821 Re: good bye Pacifica :-( [arrtnut] by cluelesspa Aug 17, 2005 (9:26 am)
Replying to: arrtnut (Aug 16, 2005 1:31 pm) what car do you have now that you kept for 9 years? also how many miles do you put on in a year? if you dont push say over 70k miles then its a nice vehicle. as far as pricing. I think you will find about $1.5k difference between the two comp equiped vehicles. the touring pac with all the stuff vs the B9 limited. I lost about $2k in resale value so its about a wash.   The transmission on the Pac was getting rougher and rougher as I started getting up in mileage. I had the recall done on it to add a quieter on but it still clunked from drive to reverse and started getting heavy shifting from 2nd to 3rd on little hills doing say 40 mphs... just would shift heavy.   the B9 I have now is no-where like that. the transmission is smooth as butter. no clunks in reverse to drive ... and it shifts smoothly when on the road.

Replying to: steelydan0613 (Jul 26, 2005 1:31 pm) I've test driven just about every car in Pacifica's class but can't figure out why you would buy this SUV vs. any other one. It is under powered. Has impossible seating configurations. And the worst blind spots of any vehicle other than U-Haul. Go throw your $31K at something a bit more drivable.

#523 of 821 Most stable by rodut Aug 18, 2005 (5:53 pm)
Because it's the most stable (has the highest SSF - Static Stability Factor). When steering abruptly left-right-left-right it feels like a car. Check the NHTSA web site, or aggressively steer the thing.

Replying to: mys2000 (Aug 18, 2005 2:55 pm) Not to mention, the best crash test ratings in it's class.

Replying to: mys2000 (Aug 18, 2005 2:55 pm) Mine was $25K, not $31K. You don't need to spend more than that . I know the Pacifica is not for everybody, but frankly I knew I did not want another SUV that is truck-based......One drive in the Envoy/Trailblazer was enough to convince me of that.......and that one was Motor Trend's Truck of the Year when it first came out!   In my original post, I was only complaining about the OVERUSE of MSRP's on this website in comparing vehicles to each other . This is also done in all the car mag's ...........They will wonder if the Pacifica can compete in the $40,000 MSRP range(loaded), and I have two words to say about that ...........It doesn''t ...............A nicely equipped Pacifica can be had for much less, which makes the $40,000 thing kind of irrelevant.....................everybody knows this, so why do all the car mags and car websites use ONLY this as the gospel truth in the final transacted price of a vehicle ?..............................................

Replying to: minivanguy (Jul 27, 2005 8:24 pm) I'm sorry the price was $28,090 to be exact. "I wasn't looking at the contract". BTW, I bought it in December 30, 2004 at Grainger Honda in Garden City, Ga

Replying to: jennywenny (Jul 18, 2005 4:53 pm) before you buy any car . 1. ask to see what it cost the dealer first and to show this to you on paper. Not just telling you. You can save without the employees discount. Say the car is $32,000.00-you can get that car for $26,000.00 without the employee discount. So don't rush into anything . Do your home work first. Go to 3 dealers and see what prices you get from them.   the savings are at least $6,000.00 no employee discount Good luck :
#530 of 821 AWD vs FWD by woobegone Sep 15, 2005 (2:58 pm)
My son is considering a used, low-mileage Pacifica, 04 or 05. Is there much advantage to AWD version over the FWD version? They live in Utah and will move to Colo. Springs soon so winter driving is a consideration. All other things being equal, how much of a price difference should he expect between AWD and FWD?
