$25K seems reasonable for a vehicle as large and functional as Pacifica. Shopper's looking at '05 models would be well served to avoid the crude 3.8L V6. Pacifica isn't as sporty as Nissan Murano or even Honda Pilot, but it is a pleasant, space-efficient ride for commuters with a need for wagon-style room.

At a price of just $30,000, this nicely equipped Pacifica is a great bargain if you have two kids and occasionally need space for two more riders. It rides nicely, is quiet, gets resonable fuel economy, and has all the right features. However, wouldn't a minivan make more sense to a family?
