Yes, mine was a wheels car too. Mine sold to another employee the first day it was available.
Mine also has the 6 disc changer with the DVD player, but it has no video console. The local Chrysler dealer said it would be $955 to install it.

Six years with my Pacifica

I have now owned my Pacifica for a full six years and couldn't be happier. Only once (when the battery finally died) has it not started on the first turn of the key. I still have the original brakes. Most people still think its an almost new car (until they notice the lack of the new car smell). The only things I have paid for are oil, filters and one set of tires that still have at least 38K+ miles left on them. I've hauled trash cans, a 12 foot Christmas tree and six people to dinner in comfort all in the same day with the same vehicle. I couldn't ask for more. The Pacifica has the best ergonomics of any car I have seen or driven. It will be very hard to match when I replace it in four years.

I have to agree with you. The best car I ever owned. Got mine July 2003. It has 147,600+ miles on it. My biggest complaint right now is that the display on my radio (w/ the 6 disc changer) has gone dark. Audio still works great. I just need to remember what I programmed for each button!

Farewell, my Pacifica!

I surely agree with both of you ~ If Chrysler were still making the Pacifica, I would have gotten another one after leasing two (04 & 06)! But, since it's not the case, I got a Mazda CX-9 instead!

What I don't understand is that there are LOTS of 2008 Pacificas still around, new on dealers lots..... yet even thought company is in such dire condition, they refuse to really deal on them. Bottom line is about maybe 10-12% off sticker after all of the "deals" going on..... for a 1 and almost a 2 model year old car. Wouldn't you think they would want to unload all that stock and put some cash INTO the company as opposed to still be paying to hold on to that iron? I woul dbuy an '08 if they made it worth my while, but they refuse!
Go figure.

I brought my 2005 3.8L Pacifica in for an oil change and saw four 2008 Pacifica's sitting on the dealer's lot. One was a beautiful Clearwater Blue Touring WP Chrysler Signature Series for $34k MSRP. It was built in Oct 07 and this was Mar 09 so it was sitting on the dealer's lot for 17 months. It only had 43 miles on the odometer so it hadn't been driven much. I had read online that dealer's were letting them go for $10k off MSRP to get rid of them. I had no intention of trading in my 05 Pacifica but I figured it couldn't hurt to offer them $24k for this 08 Pacifica. To my surprise they took it and I drove away in the 08. This was a huge upgrade from my base 05 Pacifica. I couldn't be happier. Take a look at your local dealer's inventory on Chrysler's website to see if they have any 08's sitting on their lot. You might be able to get a better deal than I did. BTW The dealer told me these remaining 08's didn't sell because they didn't have the DVD installed in the back.

That's ok... I don't want the DVD in the back this time! When I got mine in '03 the kids were smaller so I needed the entertainment for them. Now, they are teenagers and they all have iPods and phones so they can do their own video.
Guess I need to take a look.

Found a leftover 2008 that stickers at $38,920 (Limited with AWD) being offered for $29,400. I am hoping I can chew them down a little more. Am I wrong to figure 25% (maybe up to 30%) off sticker to be too good a deal to pass up?
Am I a fool to take it? I know I can't get as much car as this for under $30K (maybe a lot under $30K). I know all the risk of buying a Chrysler these days but bang for the buck, could I ever possibly do better?
All thoughts appreciated...

I bought a leftover 2008 Pacifica Touring WP Chrysler Signature Series for $10k under MSRP. It doesn't get any better than this. It was manufactured in Oct '07 which is close to the end if the line (12-12-07). My dealer's service department checked for Recalls and TSB's and couldn't find any. When you think that the '04 was first offered for sale in '03, this is five model years for the Pacifica. They got all the kinks worked out of the Pacifica and the '08 model year is about perfect. Finally getting the 4.0L and 6-speed in '07 was the crowning achievement. You have a unique opportunity to purchase a new Pacifica with a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. The window of opportunity is nearly closed. The current incentives apply to the remaining '08's and you'll get the sales tax credit. You should definitely go for it. If you don't get it, somebody else will.

I hope you don't mind my question They're saying that Chrysler Corporation will cease to exist after 2010. What happens to the lifetime powertrain warranty at that point? Thanks
