To Juliec2: The nav. was never included in their calculations. Their quote did not include it.
I live in the South. Paid $34463 for a fully loaded PAC 2004 Chrysler Pacifica AWD minus the Heated Seats (none on the lot). The build date of the car was 9/03. Took $2000 incentive off the 34k and 0% financing deal. Not an easy deal to get. I know.
Wood, the best deal I have seen for an on the lot pac was $1,000 under invoice. Good Luck!!
I'm looking at a base Pacifica, probably to be purchased in about two months. I've been playing around with the Chrysler Financial lease payment estimator, and the lowest payment on a 39 mo. lease (at invoice - haven't started to negotiate yet, less the 3k lease cash, 0 down) I can come up with is about $370 per month.
Using another site's lease calculator and some of the lower money factors you all have listed, I can get something more in the range of $310-320 per month.
Anyone else use the Chrysler estimator, and if so is it just off, or have they jacked up the money factors? Also would be thankful for anyone's money factor/interest rate on a recent lease.
I was told, by someone who works for Edmunds, that for those with excellent credit (score of 700 or above), the money factor is .0011
To get to the lowest payment I can get on the Chrysler Financial calculator, the equivalent rate seems to be about 6.5%, more or less.
Amazing what a difference a low interest rate makes.
Another advantage of the base model is that it doesn't have all the options that seem to be causing the problems in the Problems and Solutions forum.
Any idea where I could find the great deal I am reading about in this discusion site.
Thanks to everyone who has posted comments on this board both good and bad as it really helped me to make a final decision and to negotiate a pretty good deal.
I bought from Continental Jeep/Chrysler in LaGrange Il. Both the salesman and the manager I dealt with were great to work with. Very honest about +'s and -'s of the Pac.
Took only 1 counter-offer from their original, really pretty good 1st offer, to get $4,000 under list (maybe around $600 - $700 under invoice) and a free back-up system installed as well as $2,500 in rebates ($500 Chicago auto show $) + the 0% for 48 months.

My local paper has a 2004 Pacifica listed with a $3000 rebate and $5701 off MSRP, for a final price of $23,999, with 0 down and no payments until June. The 0 payments until June just delays your payments, but the rest of the deal sounds good.
well, the wife and I did a trip to a dealer and spent some time trying to do a deal this evening.
The salesman ended up looking around for the vehicle we want,(did not have the color/options we wanted in stock)and found 2 possible candidates.
He is to call tomorrow with news if either one is available, plus price for our deal...so here is the question---we are looking at pretty much a loaded '04, Butane Blue Pac, which stickers at$41,435...so what should I expect for a fair price BEFORE rebates??
Appreciate all opinions!!
THANKS!
The dealer I visited last night put a temp hold on one of the Pac's they found for me..Butane Blue, 04, just about everything.(from the sticker copy I got, looks like only thing NOT there is a full size spare)
The sticker price is...$41,605...my price INCLUDING $3000.00 rebate is ..$35,999.
I still think it is about 2 grand too high...what say 'yall????
Help me out quick! I have to be ready for my counter offer in the AM!!
THANKS guys!! 8-)
I've been waffling whether to go with the safe choice (another Honda) or make the move to a Pacifica, and a really good deal would be a big push in that direction! I'm hoping to remember a relative or friend with a connection.
With employee pricing, the base model was listed as low as $19,794 after rebates. Wow.
So, I do not know WHAT the invoice is...trying to get a feel for what people have paid below STICKER(or MSRP I guess)for a "loaded" 04 Pac.
My blue PAC is probably the exact same as what you are looking at. Listed for $41,470.
My FINAL out the door was $38,800 which included all taxes (7% sales), lic. & doc fees + $900 for 70/ 70,000 max care extended war. and $229 for GAP ins. putting me at $809 per month for 48 months. Also included was the backup system which they originally were asking about $350 for.
When they showed me the contract break down, the vehicle itself was $4,050 under list + the rebates. If I didn't ask for the b-up system and ask for a discount on the E. warranty, I'm sure I could have got down to about $4,500 under list.
From the research I did, and the discussions w/ the salesman and manager, I think I was about as low as I could go.
Looks like they offered you $2,700 under list, so another $1,500 - $2,000 is realistic.
Good Luck!
On the Pacifica I bought, I just went to the dealer's web site and sent a message directly to the fleet manager and asked for an appointment. He worked with me for a few hours while I decided which vehicle I wanted to buy. It was the same service I would have received had I gone through Costco, but it was a faster response. The Costco program can take a couple of days, and you may get a response from a dealer not near you at all.
Good luck

Invoice was 558 higher than edmunds. The base cost is higher (+305) for the more recent builds and plus the invoice had an adv fee of 225 and 28 for misc stuff (ie. 5 gal gas, etc.)
MSRP 36,220
Invoice 33,691
Sales Price 33,291
Less Rebate -3,000
+ Conv/Doc/Reg 305
Final Price 30,596 (+12 free oil changes)
I received this deal by using the Chrysler website to search all dealer inventories in the area and when I found an acceptable vehicle, I used the website to email my interest and request a quote. This took some work as I read through probably 30 dealer inventories and came up with a list of 10-15 vehicles. The responses were usually in the 200-1200 over actual dealer invoice (translates to 700-1700 over edmunds). No dealer invoices matched edmunds due to the reasons listed above. I think that most dealers will drop another few hundred after you get them on the phone and your willing to give them your credit card as a deposit. My dealer's email quote was at his invoice but I was able to bring the price down another 400 over the phone.
After my purchase, another dealer called me. He told me that he would have come down on his email quote by another 300-400. Still would have left him at 400 over invoice. He told me "my hat's off to you for buying at 400 below invoice, I would have never went that low".)
I think I got a good price, certainly in this region as I communicated with many dealers. But, I'm sure there's always a better deal out there.
Oh yeah, I also received coupons for 12 free oil changes at any Chrysler dealer.
I just hope I like this car/suv/sport tourer!
I live in CT and am looking to buy quickly. Can you say where you bought and first name of salesperson? Fitzpatricks??
Black and loaded with EVERYTHING except GPS and heated seats.
I paid $32,000 plus tax and license. This was without rebates since I opted for 5 years at 0% to keep my payments at $533 per month (I paid for the tax and license in cash)
I say the dealer invoice which was $34,600.
My Pac was purchased in New Port Richey in Florida from Lokey Chrysler.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps you! Sorry it took me a few days to respond.
P.S. they have a fully decked out(every option) Black for 33,000.00 and 15,000 miles. We have not gone into any discussion with dealership just looked and drove. Thinking about ordering.
Suggestions?
Thanks LynZee
lynzee: Be careful about demo models. Remember, the bumper to bumper warranty is only good for 3 years or 36,000 miles. With 15,000 miles already, you'd be buying a car that's almost half way there! After about a year of driving you'd be out of warranty already. Consider that when purchasing a demo model.
I would stick to new models. This way you know they haven't been potentially abused. Who knows how well those demo models were driven....but the warranty is what I'd be really concerend about.
Dealers are not accepting new orders now for the '04 model year. '05's are soon going to be in production. I too agree I would not buy a demo especially with that mileage.
As long as the dealer has not registered the vehicle warranty starts at the time of first registration so if you buy a demo (not necessarly a program car -used)with 200 miles the power train warranty ends at 70,200 miles.
Good Luck!

The 05's will be in offered in 3 classes, base, touring and limited. The base will have space for 5 passengers, 2 front & second row bench. The touring will be like what is being offered today, 6 passenger, and the limited one color body with 19" wheels. The base and touring will have the existing 3.5L engine. Don't know about prices or rebates yet. Chrysler dealers are now ordering '05s and delivery is about 8 weeks.
