I don't think CR is biased but I do think their methodology and data collection does have flaws. Keep in mind also, the difference between the most reliable vehicle and number 10 is likely only a few problems per 100 at the most. Buy what you like in most cases I always say, in the end even a Honda or Toyota could give you trouble. |

| They're decent, but nothing special. If you're looking for a great deal on a decent car, shop the various GM brands. They'll give you an OK car with a massive rebate. (some models) | |

http://media.gm.com has a press release dated September 10, 2004 that includes the base prices of the new family. Quickly looking a the Montana, it looks like the SV6 is around $1,500 less then the 2005 Montana. And the SV6 includes the interior/exterior/engine/mechanical upgrades: a DVD system, OnStar and one year or service, ABS, MP3, 4 wheel discs, 17" tires-wheels. |

I wonder how much the Relay/Montana would cost loaded.

| Edmunds usually is very quick once GM releases pricing info to get it on the site. Bet its here before next week ends. | |

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 09, 2004 9:17 am) Many new "much sought after" vehicles had great resale the first year or 2. Many GM vehicles became "classics" after they were 50, 60, or 70 years old and have appreciated in value. How many old Honda's have become classics in the same manner that many GM vehicles have become? BUT...how many people buy a vehicle for resale value? Don't most of us buy a vehicle to drive and enjoy? |

Replying to: steve_ (Sep 11, 2004 8:09 am) Buick Terrazza CX Buick Terrazza CXL Chevrolet Uplander Base Chevrolet Uplander LS Chevrolet Uplander LT Pontiac Montana SV6 1SA Pontiac Montana SV6 1SB Saturn Relay 2 Saturn Relay 3 However, the build and price feature on the Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn websites have not been updated yet. So, none of us know exactly how much a loaded up Terrazza, Uplander, Montana SV6 or Relay costs. And that's what I'd like to know. To get a price range to compare it with the Ford Freestar/Mercury Monterey. |

I don't think that has happened to any GM vehicle since the early 70s, with perhaps a few rare exceptions. And a van? Residuals remain quite strong for the Ody, horrible for the current GM vans. Actually I agree with the poster above that a used one might be a bargain in a couple of years. I tend to keep cars for about 7 years, I think there is still an appreciable difference in residual values when you compare a Venture to an Odyssey, likely as much as the difference you paid when they were new (perhaps more). -juice |
