Replying to: eugened (Jul 04, 2007 2:00 pm) My thoughts exactly. I kinda thought that I would only by Honda's in the future. I have a 2003 Accord and my three kids have all gotten Honda's since. I have had such a great experience with not only the cars but the service department when you have an issue which is very rare. They certainly do take care of you better the the american car companies. That is why I am a little hesitant. But on the other hand as I mentioned we now have a 2002 Town & Country and fortunatley over the past five years the only problem we had was the liftgate and the warranty covered all of that. Decision....Decisions....thanks again for the input and good luck with the Mazda. |

Through my neighbor I am able to get Employee Pricing. From looking over the invoice I see the holdback is $1,000. The dealer I am working with has over 70 pacificas in stock and three exact copies of the signature model I am looking for. They say the EP is set in stone, but I know from experience its not. What is a reasonable profit for the dealer? They are also taking in my trade about another $2,000 for them. I hope to buy on Saturday.

Wow! There are some horror stories in here w/ respect to the Pacifica. We have an '04 Touring AWD Pacifica and (knock on wood) haven't had any problems. We especially love how it handles in the snow. My wife and I are both healthcare providers and there are NO snow days- we have to go in. All we've done is change the oil and filter. Ours is a lease and we're thinking of keeping it. Good luck to others looking to own or lease  !

Replying to: mr_anton89 (Jul 24, 2007 2:16 pm) I hope to buy on Saturday. Well, 2 things. First is that "reasonable profit" can be interpreted in so many ways. Personally, on a car like the Pacifica, I would leave no real profit if possible. That means either flat invoice minus any incentives/rebates, or even dipping into holdback. If your EP is already below that number, then I think that's more than reasonable. 2nd, you can't necessarily assume a $2k profit for them on your trade. They may not keep it. If they send it to auction, they will probably make nothing on it, if they give you fair value. |

07 Pacifica Signature FWD MSRP: $33,495 (Options on Moonroof and Floor Mats) Employee Price: $29,760 Rebates: $2,500 - In Lieu of APR $1,500 - Wrangler Lessee $1,000 - None $500 - Lessee Dealer Cash $500 - None ---------------------------- Dealer offer of $23,760 Holdback is $983 Should I haggle anymore on this deal, they say you can't but with previous experience I have. Or is this deal good and I should be happy with it? They are a large volume dealer and have 80 Pacificas, with three of these Signature models left which all are marine blue. There are more in my area. Do you think now is the time to buy, or should I wait another month and hope for 0% for 72, or wait a little more for the 08's which will soon have the same amount of cash on the hood?  Thanks again.

Replying to: mr_anton89 (Jul 26, 2007 8:30 am) Anyway, its very very rare (if ever) for a manufacturer to offer huge discounts on top of low financing. So while a financing deal may come up, chances are it won't be $10k off sticker, as you have gotten.
