I've had 5 Grand Cherokee's, a Wrangler, a Liberty, a 300M and my XF roadster since 1990 and will swear by Chrysler products. I too like the Pacifica but a used car is a used car and you never know if it was used or abused and that can't be Chryslers fault. Your rationale about getting a good deal on a used one is probably right but I'd shop for a good lease deal.
