  Well resale value is very real. And while you may not care, most people do (and should). Case in point with my 2006 Odyssey I sold. I shopped heavily back in 2006 and the Town and Country Touring model and Odyssey EX-L were considered (along with the Sienna XLE). Price wise, my Honda cost about $2200 more than the similarly equipped T&C Touring model (the Sienna was within about $1K of ... Read More

I believe a Pacifica or Town & Country Touring would be good for our family of 5, however, the dealers are discouraging the Pacifica because they said it is more expensive to lease.

  Written by: steve115 on Nov 5, 2006 3:46:58 PM

  Thanks for the info on the 2006, Car_man. Regarding the 2007, the MSRP on the T&C Touring is 28,820. It is a good thing I waited - according to the Chrysler web site, the lease cash rebate on the 2007 has been increased from 2,000 to 3,500 this month. So the invoice less rebate would make the negotiated a cap cost about 23,145. Can you tell me what the monthly payment ... Read More

  Hey kfranci2. Did you say that you negotiated a cap cost of $14,900 on a Town & Country that has an MSRP of $29,985?!?! Something's not right here. Did you make a typo and mean $24,900? Perhaps you are making a large down payment on your lease. If so, you would be better off leasing this van with no down payment. I always advise community members against making large down payments ... Read More
