The dealer sells Dodges, Jeeps, and Chryslers. It's a weird and quiet showroom. They had a Ram Longhorn, two Chargers, and a four-door Wrangler on display. Apparently, FCA requires every dealership to have a children's area to help with sales.
We are looking at base models. The LX version (second from the bottom) is actually called the Voyager. It's around $31,000. The steering wheel was made of the cheapest plastic known to man. The engine was very quiet. It drove fine. My wife noticed the door handles felt like they were all going to fall off.
Next, we went to the Toyota dealer, The Supra was behind a velvet rope. No markup!
The showroom was odd. The Supra was the only car there. It was packed with employees-- greeters, salespeople, managers.
They didn't have the low spec L or LE in stock. So they showed us the sporty SE. It drove very heavy. It was around $42,000.
Finally, we went to the Honda dealership. This was one of two 2019 Odysseys left. There was a $3,000 discount and it ended up listing for less than the Pacifica/Voyager. The fit and finish and overall packaging was superior to the other two vans. And it sat lower and felt like it handled better too.
There was an old Honda racer in the showroom. It's tiny.
We are going to try a more upscale version of the Pacifica before we make our decision. We really like the looks of the Pacifica.
+1 for the Sienna, but +100 for a Mercedes Sprinter :)
ReplyDeleteWhy are you not shopping the Kia Sedona?
ReplyDelete@Scott: The kids were restless after going to three dealerships.
ReplyDeleteI remember those days. It is worth a look. We have had ours along with our i3 for over 4 years.
