Replying to: ZYB (Dec 10, 2008 8:11 pm) Since you got no replies here, did you find answers to your questions elsewhere? I cannot help you much other than what you probably already know -- Consumer Reports, JD Powers, Edmunds (of course). With the discontinuation of Pacifica, and with Chrysler's major financial deficits (?bankruptcy and parts availability down the road), with Pacifica inability to hold resale value, I say hold out for a "steal" of, say, 30-40 percent off of MRSP on 08, or find a BIG discount off dealer retail for a used 07 or 08. I am in no rush so holding for used 30K Pac at $10,000. Craigslist had a Portland Oregon 07 AWD at 60K for $10 recently, and a 07 FWD at $12. Hope I helped ya. Luck on the hunt. Hey, >>> ?Can you give me any dealer sources for new Pacificas in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, or No. Calif??

Replying to: ZYB (Dec 10, 2008 8:11 pm) $29,000 sounds close for a $39,000 MSRP. You could probably do better, but it sounds like a good place to begin haggling. If the car sits on the lot much longer (and it may), then the price should drop accordingly. It seems like a buyer's market these days, and could be for some time.   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.

Replying to: joe29001 (Dec 21, 2008 5:56 pm) I have got a verbal offer for 25125 on an MSRP of 33625 with 0% for 48 months. Is this as good as it gets? Do you think I could get more off? Replies to this message: mtjc521 (Jan 28, 2009 3:48 pm) michaelki295 (Feb 05, 2009 2:47 pm)

Replying to: joe29001 (Dec 21, 2008 5:56 pm) I made the decision to purchase my Pacifica last December and we love it.   My husband has a Smart and so does my Mother-in-Law. We needed a car that we could all use for longer trips. We find it very comfortable and don't mind the extra gas it takes. I have very long legs and my husband is tall from the waiste up so up, so it was very hard for us to find a car where both of us were comfortable. On the other hand my Mother-in-Law is only 5 feet so when we tried an SUV she had to have a step stool to get in.   I hope everyone end up as pleased with their choice as we have.   We heard that Fiat has made an offer to take on part of Chrysler and they have until Feb 17 to accept. Who knows, maybe that would be a good thing.

Replying to: michaelki295 (Jan 28, 2009 8:58 am) Without high demand for a new Pacifica or for most new makes, you should be able to get $10K or more off of MSRP so hold for $22-23K if you can. I've seen that price in the NW (31K msrp for 21). Slightly used ones can save SO much, but no lifetime warranty, right? I agree with comment above that if you keep vehicle for at least 7 years, then any poor depreciation rate of resale should not be a big cost factor after 7 years. Good idea is to drive a rental if you can still find one. I did from National Rental a year or so ago for a trip of 150 miles and was impressed with ride, comfort, and features. The news of FIAT possible involvement in owneership is encouraging, tho I heard FIAT has not, or will not, put up any money yet. Now spare parts in future concerns me, but I bet a new one would do well for 7 years and then the next owner may have fun easily finding parts. An unpopular make drove me crazy years ago to locate after market filters and wipers, even, but I did not try Internet. >>> ?What part of country are you shopping in? Luck on your hunt. Pls update us here as to all money details to final deal, including whether a trade-in was involved. Replies to this message: michaelki295 (Feb 05, 2009 2:47 pm)

Replying to: mtjc521 (Jan 28, 2009 3:48 pm) I shopped in West Tennessee. I traded in a Ford Ranger and got 5500 off the deal. I used the EMPLOYEE ++ pricing to get the price I spoke of earlier. I had seen a handful of better advertised prices in NC and GA, but noone could quote a better price for the signature series that I got. I plan on having this for quite a while, so I am just keeping my fingers crossed that the lifetime powertrain is worth 2 cents.   I held off on the Extended Service Contract. I may consider that down the road once, Chrysler-Fiat appears to be viable. Let's all hope that, they can sell enough cars to stay afloat.
#829 of 838 Need Advice ASAP by bstafford20 Feb 17, 2009 (8:37 pm)
Looking at a '07 PAC Touring. FWD, 4.0L with 15,000 miles. Dealer (not a Chrysler dealer) is asking $13,495   On the test drive I thought I felt a shudder at low RPMs (this was before I knew of the TSB).   My questions are:   1-What's a good price for this being in good condition?   2-With the factory warranty in place should I get it and plan on going to the dealer or should I pass?   ALSO, We are looking at an '04 PAC (FWD) with 47,500 miles at $8995. This still has the Powertrain warranty right?   So question 3: Which is the better deal/car?   Going back to look tomorrow so PLEASE help soon!

Replying to: bstafford20 (Feb 17, 2009 8:37 pm) I think the price is better on the first one. I prefer purchasing a vehicle with fewer miles. It has the advantage of still being under the 3yr/36k. I didn't test drive too many used ones while I shopped around, but I did visit www.chryslerforum.com for help as well.   My understanding on the POWERTRAIN warranties is that it only applies to the first owner. There are some that might have a transfer of the warranty though. You can buy service contracts for them online through an online chrysler dealer or at a local dealer which would extend the warranty.   GOOD LUCK
#831 of 838 Price comparisons....I think I got an incredible deal! by tlars Feb 26, 2009 (10:57 pm)
I have looked at Pacificas for the past week. Almost signed up for a 08' touring with leather, htd seats with 10k miles for 19987 but I noticed a police accident report hit on the Auto Check. No go for me.   Then today - found the deal! Check this out   2007 Limited 4.0L AWD with EVERYTHING! Rear camera, park assist, rear dvd, moonroof, etc etc...17,918 miles local trade in from new - purchased for $17,900!!!! We love it. After 138 mile drive back home...it was worth the drive to the dealer out of town.
#832 of 838 One of the last of the new Pacificas by jtg61 Mar 04, 2009 (7:38 pm)
My dealer had 4 remaining new 08 Touring WP Chrysler Signature Series Pacifica's sitting on his lot. The Clearwater Blue Pearl was the one that caught my eye. It only had 43 miles on the odometer. MSRP $34,025. I made them an offer of $10k under MSRP. After much haggling, they let it go for $24,461. If anyone out there is thinking about picking up one of the remaining new 08's out there, they're going fast at great prices. Hopefully Chrysler will be around long enough to honor the Lifetime Powertrain warranty. They only offered me 0% 36 and 2.9% 48.
