#91 of 819 Should I buy a Pacifica? by gghusker Aug 19, 2003 (7:00 am)
I would love some advice from current Pacifica owners. We were ready to order an 04 Lincoln Navigator for me to drive when I saw a Pacifica. I did some research, took a test drive and really liked it. My husband is less than thrilled with me- he's a Ford/Lincoln guy through and through. I like the idea of a smaller vehicle that still gives me AWD and room for passengers. Any help in convincing him that this would be an OK route to go? Also, have a bid on a fully-loaded Inferno Red for about $750 below dealer invoice. Is this a decent price according to your experiences? I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!!!

You may also want to post (copy/paste) your question/s in our main Chrysler Pacifica discussion, which has a little more traffic than this discussion. Good luck.   Revka Host Hatchbacks & Wagons Boards

We bought an AWD Pacifica "demo" with leather and sat radio prep for 28730 before taxes etc. MSRP was 33905. We've had it for 3 weeks with about 3000 mostly highway miles and we love it. No problems. 20.3 mpg.
#94 of 819 Interest rates by ruski Aug 20, 2003 (9:05 pm)
I am exploring a possibility to finance a Pacifica. What would be currently considered a good interest rate on a Pacifica for 72 months? Someone quoted me 10.13% which seems like WAY too high. I have a good credit too.

Ruski - My bank here in Indiana has a 72 month loan at 5.87% APR and a special on 60 months at 4.9% APR. If you have good credit I wouldn't mess around with 10%!

Run away from that financing deal as fast as possible!!   You should be able to get in the low 4's depending on credit and term of contract.   Chrysler is also offering some great lease deals on the Pacifica (53% residual & 3.9% money factor) if you are interested in that approach.
#97 of 819 I was told there was only 2k in it! by arrowmm Aug 23, 2003 (7:43 am)
I am trying to choose between a xc90 and a pacifica and the xc90 dealer will not budge at all. I like the pacifica except the "no get up and go" but I want to drive it again to be sure. I am looking at the awd dvd nav heated seats and am getting quoted 41k. I see on the board where there are several purchases of about the same car for 35k. My dealer told me when I said I wanted to pay 36k that "there was only 2k profit in it and he couldn't" Now after reading this board I want to tell him to pound sand and try another dealer. Would you agree?
#99 of 819 What May Help the Most by alg65 Aug 23, 2003 (9:02 am)
I find it helpful when someone describes their full buying experience/pricing to include: price, options, relation to invoice if possible, and especially the trade-in deal and financing. We know the dealer can make money in several ways. He can give you less than you deserve on a trade-in but a better price on the car as an example. I used the Edmunds.com car valuation calculator and Chrysler's also. On 7/31/03, I purchased a FWD PAC with 1.5k miles on it( dealer wife was using mint vehicle)with leather, DVD, moonroof, GPS, power door, chrome wheels, 6 speaker sound system, all but the engine and seat heater, uconnect phone, and full spare tire. The dealer gave me $1.5k above edmunds.com car valuation for trading in my 99 loaded Sienna XLE w/ 57k miles on it and priced the PAC for invoice. I financed rest for 3.99% for 60 months with my credit card company A suggestion: I went to Chrysler's home page to see the inventory of the various dealers in the area to get a sense of how many they have on their lots etc. Shop at least a couple of dealers to see how anxious they are to sell or not sell. I wind up at a dealer in a pretty small city who was anxious for a sale. Good luck. PS. Did I say we are in love with this vehicle.

I agree with alg65. You have to do your homework and shop around. It is increasingly difficult for dealers these days to fool people like your dealer tried to do to you. There is just too much information out there on the internet for consumers who will bother to do the research. Look at the Edmunds TMV feature for new cars. I just priced out a fully loaded AWD Pacifica and the sticker came to $41,335.00 the invoice price was $37,625.00. That leaves $3,710.00 pfrofit for the dealer. However they are selling well below invoice due to unpublished incentives from Chrysler. If you also look at the "Incentives & Rebates" page for the Pacifica, it shows a $2,000.00 marketing support incentive from Chrysler to the dealers. You should be able to get the car for $4,500-6,000.00 under sticker. It pays to do your homework and to shop around. If you are sold on this one in stock, I would print out all this information and take it to the dealer. Ask to speak to either the sales manager or the fleet sales person. Present your case and see where it goes. Good Luck!
