Im thinking of getting a 05 Chrysler Pacifica (3.5L, touring edition) with 43,000 on it. Trading in a van with 154,000 on it. Have any of you guys had one or know anything I should beware of?
When I lived in Michigan, and worked for a Chrysler dealer there, I leased one for my wife ($300 payment and it was loaded). She loved it! It's a total dog as far as performance goes, but if you are used to driving a mini-van then it shouldn't be much of a change. They ride great, get OK gas mileage, and look a helluva lot better than a mini-van.
Just my $.02, but I wouldn't shy away from one again.
The fit-n-finish is nice, they look better than a minivan, mpg is usually better, the ride is nice but as was said - they are not fast but are really verstile(sp?). Also, reliability ratings have been pretty good - never heard of any recalls on them. Go to allpar.com for more information.
