Christina,
 
Congratulations. We were looking at the CRV'S and the Pilot. My wife's battery went dead on her 2002 Town & Country (which she loves) and when we jumped it the speedometer pinned and got stuck. I told her while she was at the dealer to test drive the Pacifica. Guess what...she loved it. They gave her a price on a Touring AWD w/ the Spring Special Package 29P which has almost every option available.
 
MRSP was $34915.00 and they said the car was on sale for $32,800 -$500 from the dealer and andother deduction of $3500 in rebates. This is without a counter offer or running and internet sales check through the edmunds site.
We had the bumper to bumper on the 2002 van(which I paid for) and really only had to use it once which really paid for the the warranty.
 
I was also thinking about asking them to through in the extended warranty but didn't know if they would go for it.
 
Thanks for the info and good luck with your new Pacifica.
 
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You MUST get extended warranty. It is a must with Chrysler cars. I had 2001 PT Cruiser and paid dearly (about 4000$) in after warranty repairs (on a low mileage car).I kept it for 7 years and finally trade it in. I like Pacifica but went with Mazda5 instead. Can not spend even 1 cent on Chrysler any more. They lost me as a driver for my lifetime.

eugened,
 
My thoughts exactly. I kinda thought that I would only by Honda's in the future. I have a 2003 Accord and my three kids have all gotten Honda's since. I have had such a great experience with not only the cars but the service department when you have an issue which is very rare. They certainly do take care of you better the the american car companies. That is why I am a little hesitant.
But on the other hand as I mentioned we now have a 2002 Town & Country and fortunatley over the past five years the only problem we had was the liftgate and the warranty covered all of that.
 
Decision....Decisions....thanks again for the input and good luck with the Mazda.

Holdback/Reasonable Profit for dealer by mr_anton89
Jul 24, 2007 (1:16 pm)

Through my neighbor I am able to get Employee Pricing. From looking over the invoice I see the holdback is $1,000. The dealer I am working with has over 70 pacificas in stock and three exact copies of the signature model I am looking for. They say the EP is set in stone, but I know from experience its not.
 
What is a reasonable profit for the dealer? They are also taking in my trade about another $2,000 for them.
I hope to buy on Saturday.

'04 Pacifica by texmex

Wow! There are some horror stories in here w/ respect to the Pacifica. We have an '04 Touring AWD Pacifica and (knock on wood) haven't had any problems. We especially love how it handles in the snow. My wife and I are both healthcare providers and there are NO snow days- we have to go in. All we've done is change the oil and filter. Ours is a lease and we're thinking of keeping it. Good luck to others looking to own or lease !

My neighbor also works for Chrysler. So how does EP work? Can the Employees get EP for friends & relatives?

The employee only gets two actual employee price pin numbers. As far as the employee choice price, a higher level employee price still below invoice, i think that they can give all the pin numbers they want out. Ask your neighbor about it. You have any comment on my post?

Well, 2 things. First is that "reasonable profit" can be interpreted in so many ways. Personally, on a car like the Pacifica, I would leave no real profit if possible. That means either flat invoice minus any incentives/rebates, or even dipping into holdback. If your EP is already below that number, then I think that's more than reasonable.
 
2nd, you can't necessarily assume a $2k profit for them on your trade. They may not keep it. If they send it to auction, they will probably make nothing on it, if they give you fair value.

07 Signature Employee Offer by mr_anton89
Jul 25, 2007 (4:39 pm)
Reply
07 Pacifica Signature FWD
 
MSRP: $33,495 (Options on Moonroof and Floor Mats)
Employee Price: $29,760
Rebates:
$2,500 - In Lieu of APR
$1,500 - Wrangler Lessee
$1,000 - None
$500 - Lessee Dealer Cash
$500 - None
----------------------------
Dealer offer of $23,760
 
Holdback is $983
 
Should I haggle anymore on this deal, they say you can't but with previous experience I have. Or is this deal good and I should be happy with it?
They are a large volume dealer and have 80 Pacificas, with three of these Signature models left which all are marine blue. There are more in my area.
 
Do you think now is the time to buy, or should I wait another month and hope for 0% for 72, or wait a little more for the 08's which will soon have the same amount of cash on the hood?
 
Thanks again.

Well, I may be wrong, but I believe you won't see that kind of trunk money on the '08s while there are '07s on the ground.
 
Personally, I think $10k off is fantastic and you should bite. They may dip into the holdback to get the deal done, but I wouldn't do it if they've been pleasant to deal with.
