The 20% off the Model Y that happened recently is kind of a game changer.

I got $41k for the used Pacifica with 6000 miles on it and about 6 months old, exactly what I paid but I paid MSRP minus a $1500 rebate they had at the time. So it was about $43k. But they dropped that model, a non leather touring. Now you have to get leather so the least expensive one is now $51k.
What don't you like about the 3-row Y? I've watched a few Youtube videos, and it seems like it could solve the problem of having zero seats for anyone but immediate family.

Maybe I'll get lucky and low fuel prices and abundance of new cars will drive used prices down. Would love to find a cosmetically beat up PacHy in good mechanical condition for relatively cheap. For some reason I'm more inclined to spend $40k on a Model Y than a minivan, even though the van has way more utility.

I'm going to wait and see how the Cybertruck does once those start selling like hotcakes.
