[tynopik]

know someone who is buying a vehicle very very soon (within an hour) and has engaged in no research

is there something wrong with this decision so i can talk them out of it?

2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring FWD 4D Sport Utility
28k miles
black / cloth


am/fm/cd
cruise
3rd row seats
power locks, mirrors, seats, windows
rear air/defrost/wiper

i know this isn't the optimal way of doing, but is there anything seriously wrong with this?

thanks for your help

Nothing is wrong with that, enjoy your minivan.

A friend of mine has one. Nice car. It doesn't have as gay a stance as a normal SUV, and I kinda dug the navigation position.

My friends one is fully loaded and has some really nice (not loud/blatantly blingish) aftermarket rims on it though.

Not really. I think its a cool looking vehicle.
CRV's, RDX's those are butt ass ugly.

yikes! are you a car dealer? use edmunds.com, instead, to get the True Market Value (TMV).

kbb.com favors the dealer - blue book is a compilation of prices that dealers are ASKING for, not for what they are actually selling at.

Chrysler Pacificrap?

I have an uncle that had one provided to him as a work vehicle, and it broke down so many times. Not to mention it's not aesthetically pleasing...

Whatever you do, DON'T BUY A CHRYSLER!

Probably one of the most "Mom" vehicles out there at the moment, but if that's what they're looking for, I don't know why they shouldn't get what they want.
