I agree with old mech on your car buying strategy, if its 8 years old or more, you better be getting it cheap and make it last a while. At 8 years old there is a relatively small market and thus little interest, and in 2 years of driving you'll have another 25k miles on it and it'll be 10 years old. Get the best deal you can on the car that will cost the least to own and operate for however long you plan on owning it.

We bought our pacifica in feb. for 9 grand, it has every option was under 100k miles and I am intimately familiar with the 3.5l engine and 4spd trans.
