Just passing through here... I posted this inquiry in some of the other Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep forums, so I thought I'd try here too. Wife & I have twins on the way (in addition to our 3-yr old) so we need to bite the bullet and get a minivan. We're going to get a Dodge GC or a Chrysler T&C sometime in June. Money will be real tight since wife will be quitting work to stay home, hence us going down to one income, so if anyone has a friends code for 2008, then I would reeeeeeally appreciate it. .... I'll even put you on my Christmas card list!! e-mail me here at carspace and let me know.... |

Will 07 & 08 Pacifica Touring FWD keep depreciating so badly? Seems like it is headed to $10k - $13k soon than it should. thanks

I'm looking at an '08 Touring w/AWD and all the bells and whistles. What should I pay? It has 19,150 miles but looks like new.

I have always liked the Pacifica AWD- it seems like a sturdy car with a lot of features for the money. Now that Chrysler has discontinued it, I am tempted to purchase a loaded AWD Touring version with all the bells and whistles (essentially a loaded Limited without the nameplate). The MSRP is about $39,000, and my local dealer came down to $29,000. Can someone help me with the following questions: 1. Is it reasonable to try to get the price lower? The car has been sitting on the lot forever, and will probably continue doing so - is this enough of an incentive to the dealer to go any lower? 2. The Pacifica has not gotten the best of reviews from U.S. News and others - "below average" value, etc. I plan on keeping the car for at least 7 years. Should I be concerned with the initial steep depreciation that it will suffer? 3. What is the reliablity of car? Again, reviews are all over the page. 4. My personal feeling is that, all in all, it is a great value for the money. However, what is the feeling out there about the warranty and Chrysler's future? Sorry for the long winded question. I have bought many Chryslers of the years, incuding a recent PT Convertible (always new cars), and have enjoyed them. I have very mixed feelings in this case - I like the car but afraid that it might not be wise choice. Thanks to anyone taking the time to comment.

Replying to: ZYB (Dec 10, 2008 7:11 pm) If you keep the car 7 years, then the steep depreciation shouldn't matter. The steep part of the curve would be at the beginning. When the car is 7 years old with 150,000 miles, then it will be worth about the same as similar 7 year old cars. Our Pacifica seems OK so far (it's pretty new though), but folks I know have had good luck with theirs (older models with the 3.5L/4 Speed Automatic). You can't beat the lifetime powertrain warranty. Of course, if Chrysler folds, then the warranty doesn't matter, but that seems highly unlikely. Worst-case, someone will buy Chrysler (it's happened before). When Daimler merged with Chrysler and eventually took over, the Chrysler warranties didn't disappear. They were just passed along as liabilities and honored by Daimler. |
