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

Do you really think the person who bought the 1999 Odyssey when it was 2 years old for the same price it cost new would have received 100 % of the cost in 2003?
     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?

My morning (Gannett) newspaper had a story about the Relay anchoring the Auto section - all they said was that base pricing was predicted to be $24,000.

The GM Media website (media.gm.com) has released base pricing information for the following vans:
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).

I used to keep cars for ten years, 150,000 miles. Now, they're traded in at around 100,000 miles, regardless of age. I just get tired of a car after living with it for 100,000 miles.

The model mix down south is quite different - I read that US transaction prices are higher than in Canada. There are hardly any LX's in my neck of the woods. Same thing applies for the Mazda MPV - when I was visiting BC, saw lots of MPV DX's. You can't even get a DX here in the states anymore.
 
Agreed, the deal still matters. I think Ford and GM are set to sell about 100K minivans each this year, thanks to the hefty rebates.

That's pretty much the only way the can sell their product. You can buy a Mercury Grand Marquis in my area for less than 20 grand.

Honda gets more money for their vans because they have better quality materials, better features and a better engine. GM was trying to get the same money for less product so of course they have to slap on the big incentives. The new vans are better and close up the gap a bit. Further, MSRP prices have fallen and content has gone up which means they won't have to discount as much in theory. I guess we will have to see how the vans come out in the fall.
