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. |

Replying to: joe29001 (Dec 21, 2008 4:56 pm) 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.

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 7:37 pm) 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 |

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.

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.

Tonight my wife and I are wanting to take an '07 Touring FWD for a weekend test drive. It has 20k miles and the dealer is asking $14,700. We've driven it for about 10 minutes, but I'd like to take it for the weekend. I offered to leave my trade-in and either a check for the amount of the car or a $2000 down payment (via personal check, cashier's check or cash). Here's the car: Pacifica at Landmark Ford The dealer is not wanting us to take it for Saturday and Sunday. The car is listed on the site with 18k miles, but now it has a little over 20k miles, so it obviously hasn't sat there every day - other people have driven it. Is it unreasonable to ask for a couple days with the car? I have a clean driving record and I'm very interested in the car. |
