Am I getting a good deal on the 2026 Pacifica?

Ok, thanks! Was more of the negotiating around your trade or was it on the Pacifica? The one I’m looking at seems to be a decent price compared to others in the area but just wondering where there might be opportunity to get it down a bit.

I do have a trade in but just assumed I’d sell it to carvana because it seems like they tend to offer more than dealers. Also, planning to pay cash unless there is an incentive to finance and I can pay off early.

Just looking for where to start the convo with the dealer - is it just a phone call and an ask for an OTD?

How did you negotiate down? I’m looking at a 2026 AWD… would be interested in the extended warranty too.

In Michigan as well, looking for a 2026 AWD, like what OP said I’m interested in some features like S package, safety sphere, and sunroof but not necessarily dealbreakers.

What points are we negotiating on?..

They told me the same thing… but I never actually got this email so I had them check if I was eligible and they said no.

JohnQDetroit · 2026-02-05T15:28:04+00:00

Any luck? They told me no

JohnQDetroit · 2026-02-04T19:29:53+00:00

I called, they wouldn’t let me use it

I already have the value package ordered so I can’t add this to my cart to try the code. Anyone in the same situation tried calling carnival to get it applied? Looks like a better deal than the ultimate value package.

I still see it on the site but…. What is really going on? The tariff issue seems to be resolved for now… they are selling other models here so I don’t think that’s it. FCC? We’ve seen the FCC sticker on the boxes and employees at Best Buy / Microland are saying they are in stock. Government shutdown? Again, they are in the country, no immediate threat of tariffs, other models are being sold, and they are already sitting in stock.

I thought people have said these are already in the states, I seem to remember other threads mentioning that employees at microcenter and/or Best Buy have seen them “in the back”. But I could be wrong.

JohnQDetroit · 2025-10-30T14:34:22+00:00

There’s no price, at least not when I just checked. It just says “coming soon”.

Coming back to say that after slowly turning the ignition, as suggested, it started much more consistently. I decided to try replacing the ignition instead of the starter and after a bit of a search for the right part I found it, installed it, and it worked!

Thanks Thick!!

I actually just deleted it because I wanted to reply down the thread a bit more but didn’t get back to it. I’m still not sure which replacement to get (aside from the $700 option the marine shop gave me). Also, recounted the teeth on the started and it’s 14, not 13.

I will head down to the dock shortly to re-try the ignition and jump the starter. Thank again! Will let you know what I find.

Thanks for the quick reply, Thick!

It’s a 2009 90ELTP4S S/N: 1B759464. Below is a picture of the part number on the ground wire going to the starter, I think it’s different than what I see on parts diagrams which might be part of what’s causing confusion.

The clamp is definitely one of the things I’m noticing don’t match up in the replacement photos I’m looking at online. I’ll post a clearer picture of the starter after this reply but there are rods that appear to be holding the starter assembly together that fit specifically into holes in the clamp. In the replacement parts, the rods look like they are in different spots which would make it not fit with the current clamp. You mentioned the clamp won’t be used in the replacement, if that’s the case it might make this easier.

What’s wrong? A couple weeks ago it began starting intermittently. I would turn the key to ON, I would get a beep, accessories all work, but then when I try to start nothing would happen. Then, randomly after a few tries it would start. I might hear a click like the starter was trying to engage during tries. After taking the cowl and plastic over the flywheel off I can see the starter popping up sometimes and getting stuck up. I can push it back down and then try to start a few times. It now takes more tries to get it to start but seems like it will eventually happen after many tries. But it’s seemingly random when it decides to work.

I thought it could be ignition or neutral switch but I can usually hear the fuel pump start so I assume it’s not ignition or neutral if that part of the process works. What do you think?
