I rented one in 2004 when I was on vacation in California, we drove it from San Francisco to the Napa Valley then back down the Pacific Coast highway to San Francisco. I really liked it, it was roomy and comfortable.
Once you turn on your navigation, it'll display where the Chrysler logo shows up. If you don't turn the navigation on, it'll just stay blank like that.
When I drove a cab, I was in one of these and loved it! It was a really solid vehicle that hit over 360K miles before something happened with the engine. But even then, they were able to fix it, and I see it driving around every now and then since it was retired.
that chrysler is fully loaded. epic win!! doumb ass "tech" musta been a nissan tech lmao. i rember the gps map is supposed to come on after the chrysler logo on the pop up display.. mabe it needs the gps dvd in the dvdplayer..
Not real sure why ppl would bad mouth the Pacifica. I have own at least 100 different cars makes models whatever and my 2008 Pacifica would have to be in my top 5 favs. Mine has 98K miles without a problem until recently the motor mounts failed ...a common occurrence for this auto. You save a gem
I have one of these myself and absolutely love it. When I was a travelling salesman it got me through northern Iowa and southern Minnesota during the dead of winter.
I had an '04 that suffered a broken timing belt which bent a valve. Up to that point, at 235,000 miles, it still got 23.5 on the highway, didn't burn oil and the trans was solid. Didn't want it when I bought it but it grew on me and I really did t want to get rid of it but...bent valve.
This brings memories back. My family had a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica AWD when they first released in the US Market. Because trim levels didn't exist yet, we essentially got a model that would be considered the Limited in today's market. To see this thing run makes me happy. These were amazing cars brand new, and awesome snow vehicles. The central cluster normally is home to the GPS system. If the screen goes black after the Chrysler logo, you may wanna see if the DVD ROM drive is the problem. The DVD ROM drive is located in the back hatch under a secondary hatch well behind some carpeting. If there is no DVD in the drive, you could find a 2nd hand one for hopefully cheap. The GPS location also made these cars amazing. Super safe too.
My dad owned one of these, this sure was an awesome car. Me and my sister used to sit in the back and watch DVDs on the built-in player during long trips or vacation. Good times. :,) He bought it in 2003 and drove it until 2015, for a solid 12 years. I have so many memories in that car... It was an awesome ride and we never experienced any severe problems with it, except of some broken headlights in its last year of use.
When my kids were small I had the Chrysler town & country and also the dodge grand caravan, both were awesome vehicles, I don't know why anyone would call then crap. That Pacifica looks really nice, congrats
I’ve always been a Chrysler and GM fan. We have 2 Jeeps and a Buick. My grandmother has a 2005 Grand Caravan. It still runs good. We used to have a 2012 Grand Caravan. The control arms were a common failure point on these Pacificas. I’m not talking about the Fiat badged Chrysler Pacifica, either. I know someone who’s daughter had one, and it had a bad control arm.
Every car has its ups and downs. I love my Lincolns and Mercurys but some people are Cadillac people and wouldn't touch a Lincoln. Personally i d rather have a Lincoln anyday...but that's personal preference. ..doesn't mean I'm going to sit here and call Cadillac garbage...cause it's not. People need to get off their high horse and calling cars they don't like garbage..or the worst..or this or that. It all depends on how they are taken care of.
Completely agree. I've always been a Ford guy, but there are reasons that there are other vehicle brands on the road. They are good too! No car is perfect, but the vast majority of cars are good.
I bought one of these (2006) in 2012 with 47,000 miles, 3.5 V6. Absolutely trouble-free car except for the AC evaporator going bad. It was base trim but with leather and tinted windows which was awesome, very comfortable Benz-like seats too. At 158,000 the transmission started to sound funky so I traded it in.
I'm aware of Chryler's reputation nowadays, but in my book, any "garbage-mobile" that looks and runs that well at 179k deserves a second chance! You're doing a good work Jay (along with all your buddies)! I wish more auto scrappers had a heart like you to save old cars if they can be saved. The same goes for that white '99 Toyota Solara convertible, and many other cars you have featured. Too many car scrappers don't give a rip and just want to make a fast buck from scrapping them right away, or only seem to make a minimum cursory effort of advertising it on the internet, then crushing it on TH-cam, saying, "we gave you all a chance to save it, so don't bitch when we crush it!". That's what happened to one RUNNING unwrecked 1959 Buick. BTW, that video got DISSED BIGTIME in the comments (including from me).
I know this video is several years old, but it sounds to me like that dealership was trying to screw whoever owned this car in the first place. That is one of the quietest Chrysler vehicles I’ve ever heard.
Hey Jay Smart, I know this may be a little strange but please, read on. My girlfriend and I just moved down here to the Spartanburg area from Maryland a few months ago. One day we were out at our local Wally world, was trying to pick up some rad flush for my 88 XJ I've been working on restoring. As we drove through the parking lot we saw a very distinct looking XJ that had been chopped into a truck. Had a speaker that looked zip-tied on, on the rear left side. I thought nothing of it other then "that's pretty cool" and went about my day. Then I was watching some of your videos the other day and you won't believe how shocked I was to discover that very same truck-chopped XJ. From what I can see in your video it HAS to be the same one. Especially considering that was the first truck XJ I've seen in my life. Please, tell me that was you! If so, I'd love to meet up sometime and talk XJ's or just shoot the shit. I haven't made any friends since we've been here and it seems like we both have similar interests. Hell, maybe we could go scrapyard diving for XJ parts.
Not sure about the Pacificas but the minivans are usually good for at least 300k miles with the exception of weak transmissions on certain model years. If these last as long as the minivans then it'd be a great bargain for someone on a budget. Those engines have plenty of power.
I had an '05 Pacifica, great car when I bought it had 28K on the odometer when I traded it in form my '07 Dodge Ram 4X4 Quad Cab it had 72K on the odometer and I got exactly what I paid for it. Honestly I do miss that car, it was light blue with a grey leather interior. Guess I should mention that I spent a lot of time between Ohio and Virginia and Florida in the year and change that i owned it
Grow up in this model. It’s way better still til this day. If I ever find one I’ll buy it for sure. Don’t really care for the Van’s they’ve turned it into. But I love these older models…
Its hilarious. This Pacifica is arguably one of the first domestic crossovers. Now the Chrysler brand is struggling to be relevant, when they were one of the first brands to enter one of the hottest segments of the current market.
I have had no serious problems with the Chrysler's I have owned. They have relatively simple engine control computers and I do most of the work on mine myself. The aftermarket is full of inexpensive parts to fix them and as long as you buy good parts you can easily get your money back and more out of these cars.
Chrysler's are reliable and last along time... They just have a bad reputation by non Chrysler owners,or the people that owned them and never maintained them will complain at 180,000 miles that it needs minor work ! Well,I own a used car lot and I will tell you I see 120,000 mile Honda's and Toyota's with $10,000 in receipts for work done to them..Then I get a Chrysler with 120,000 miles and all they did ever was oil and a brake job ! All vehicles have water pump,timing belt,control arm,bushing issues today..Well,the majority of them..Thanks for the sealed suspension front end parts with no grease nipples !
Someone donated a boat to a charity that had a worn out single cylinder diesel, a mechanic determined this by checking the compression and looking at how old the engine was. The cost to replace was higher then the value of the boat, so it got donated, who would buy it? Turns out the exhaust valve was stuck open, you could hear it if you put your ear up to the air cleaner and cranked it. A good smack with a block of wood and it runs like new. The engine was recently rebuilt. It is a new engine. Some needs a career I'd suggest diesel mechanic. Bad diagnostic by a lazy mechanic is common.
I love Chrysler products, we own our third grand caravan, trouble free, our 2005 grand caravan was trouble free all the way to 290,000 miles, we sold it when we bought our Grand Caravan R/T. I wouldn't give you a nickel for a barn full of GM trucks, our 1 ton dually is nothing but trouble, and it rusts to shits just standing in the garage.
I dont doubt it. I dont know about Cryslers, but my dad owned many GMs (Kadett, Astra, Zafira and Vectra, in that order) and though he loved those cars, and the Kadett and Zafira were pretty damm reliable, he didnt really get to enjoy the other ones. He hidrolocked the Astra in a flood (his fault) and the Vectras automatic transmission blew up. At 50.000 KM (some 20-30.000 miles). He then promissed he'd never buy GM again.
I HATE Chrysler products. 90s stuff was alright, but mid-2000s was HORRID. My mom's Dodge Caliber lasted a good 40K miles before it was junk. (laden with huge expensive problems) Meanwhile, my grandma's Saturn has 70-80K miles and never had any major problems.
Yea all of our GM products let us down! Brand new trail blazer lost its transfer case in its fist year, our Impala kept seizing brake calipers, and burned oil since day 1! I have owned Chryslers, jeeps, and dodges since the 90s till present and they have been great to me! Especially my dodge yea tucks
In our family we have two GMC trucks from 1997 and they're still running, they haven't gave us any problems and there's no rust in them at all. Our Ram trucks (2005 & 2013) have been great also. Our Ford F150, Crown Victoria, Expedition and my uncle's Windstar all had problems, if it wasn't the tranny it was some electrical issue or something else, but they were always failing...
Our 2003 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Duramax is still going strong, 250,000 mi trouble free. My dad still daily drives it, as well as an immaculate 2004 Toyota Solara Hard top.
I wish your junkyard was the one my School sent its car's to after they were done with them, we would have put the 68 mile Mercury Villager up for scrap if we knew you woulda saved it lol
@@Mastaflex007 You can order a cradle on eBay for about 600 bucks and labor would be about another 600 bucks...so it's only worth it if you can get the car real cheap and everything else is in good condition....
Yea ive bought dodge rams when they thought the motor was bad it was just a worn out water pump making a bad noise from the pump and they thought it was the engine other words it was a cheap fix truck made no noises after pump was replaced.

Good deal,these do have a pretty high resale value as people want them and they are reliable.. I have GM/Ford/VW/Honda/Toyota/Nissan with the same mileage and they needed the same type of repairs or even more than the Chrysler products needed.. People bash Chrysler because alot are jealous of the powerful cars they made in the 50's,60's 70's and even today.. Plus GM/Ford and Toyota guys hate the fact their car uses a Chrysler HEMI in Top Fuel , Top Alcohol,Funny car and Drag Racing,that really gets to them !! Since 1992 The Viper dominated performance and road courses then the Hemi cars came out again and destroyed everything... Thus GM/Ford guys bash Chrysler and most Import buyers bash them and anything American as being unreliable,yet they own more problematic vehicles. I find that people bash them and never owned them...The majority of people never had a problem with them but never come out and tell people,more conservative I guess.
That black screen is for navigation..look inside the storage area in front of the rear hatch.pull back the liner and there should be a dvd player for the navigation..my disc was updated and I didn't buy it I have mine turned off
I would abought. But being 10 months too late. Damn the luck. Nice auto for 500.00 into it. Score on selling it. Great job.. ( yeah this was years ago.)
Yeah, do the headlights. Hey, did you see my comment on the Saab video about determining the 'official' year of a vehicle just by looking at the 10th digit on the VIN?
hey i don't hate them but they have enough problems it's like buying a old British car sometimes they are good sometimes they are bad and you never know till you get it home and it breaks on you
I've put well over 200k on most of my Chrysler products yes they have stupid issues here and there but out off all the brands I have owned mopars have been the most reliable and cheapest to fix :)
Yeah Mr. Customer your car needs a new engine (it's old and we can't sell it on our used car lot) so we will give you a trade in as it's not worth putting an engine in it we are doing you a favor :)
*hell of a score on that one. hell yeah man throw a good clean up on that one and buff the headlights out good wax job and put that sucker up for sale if you got the title for it no reason in the world you shouldn't be able to tripple your money for it, all day long*
Jay Smart It's really incredible what some people consider junk. That guy from the dealership that sent it to you guys needs his head examined. Bad Engine my ass!!! 😂
@@BigJon22091 I have the same exact one which is a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. When I say I really adore this vehicle I really do. It's down for the moment due to a bad alternator, pulley, alternator belt, motor mount and a tune up. I can't wait to get it fixed and be back on the road again.
One of my coworkers owns a 2005. I asked him about the monitor in thr speedometer, and he said that it is a navigation system. It will not display anything unless it is switched on with the keypad.
Believe it or not but this is a collaboration between Mercedes and Chrysler like the Chrysler Crossfire and honestly they look alike and they also look like a Mercedes (Pacifica) outside (Crossfire) inside and outside
Yeah they only made these cars for a few years. Due to reliability issues they didn't make it and this gen of pacifica died. They brought the name plate back to replace the caravan/town and country name plate. But the new name plate is nothing like it's preprocessor. Nice looking vehicle though.
juan manuel icazbalceta sometimes they do keep the cars but if it's in good condition they don't scrap it at all if it's broken Transmissions done then they'll scrap it but if it's in perfect condition just a few dents and scratches still keep the car if they don't want the car they sell it
I rented one in 2004 when I was on vacation in California, we drove it from San Francisco to the Napa Valley then back down the Pacific Coast highway to San Francisco. I really liked it, it was roomy and comfortable.
Once you turn on your navigation, it'll display where the Chrysler logo shows up. If you don't turn the navigation on, it'll just stay blank like that.
At the price and with all those options that Pacifica is definitely a keeper.
When I drove a cab, I was in one of these and loved it! It was a really solid vehicle that hit over 360K miles before something happened with the engine. But even then, they were able to fix it, and I see it driving around every now and then since it was retired.
that chrysler is fully loaded. epic win!! doumb ass "tech" musta been a nissan tech lmao. i rember the gps map is supposed to come on after the chrysler logo on the pop up display.. mabe it needs the gps dvd in the dvdplayer..
Naw probably a Chrysler tech, they are almost all universally bad. Biggest issue with Chrysler are the dealerships.
The tech didn't want to be bothered with it.
Pretty smart tech....talked the owner out of their car and evidently into a new sale at the dealership.
Not real sure why ppl would bad mouth the Pacifica. I have own at least 100 different cars makes models whatever and my 2008 Pacifica would have to be in my top 5 favs. Mine has 98K miles without a problem until recently the motor mounts failed ...a common occurrence for this auto. You save a gem

I have a 06 pacifica same color.. it's going on 7 years.no problem with

You got a smokin' deal.

The original Chrysler Pacificas were on the road starting around summer of 2003. Remember seeing one in Myrtle Beach that year.
The 2004 had heated rear seats

I’ve always been a Chrysler and GM fan. We have 2 Jeeps and a Buick. My grandmother has a 2005 Grand Caravan. It still runs good. We used to have a 2012 Grand Caravan.

FYI that middle screen on the instrument cluster is where the navigation is. Those buttons next to the vent control it.
Every car has its ups and downs. I love my Lincolns and Mercurys but some people are Cadillac people and wouldn't touch a Lincoln. Personally i d rather have a Lincoln anyday...but that's personal preference. ..doesn't mean I'm going to sit here and call Cadillac garbage...cause it's not.

Completely agree. I've always been a Ford guy, but there are reasons that there are other vehicle brands on the road. They are good too! No car is perfect, but the vast majority of cars are good.
The control arms on these pacificas are a common thing I can't tell you how many times I've had to replace mine.
For the price you guys pick these cars up for; I could get used to driving cars I didn't give a second look to. I'm jealous.
I bought one of these (2006) in 2012 with 47,000 miles, 3.5 V6. Absolutely trouble-free car except for the AC evaporator going bad.

Awesome car, I don't think it's garbage at all, heck if I lived closer to you I'd buy it in a heartbeat
Already knew it was the water pump and idler tensioner! Common 3.5l issues when people don't change them on time! Other wise they are solid engines
this is slowly becoming my new favorite series

Take it back to that dealer that said the engine is bad. Show them you guys fixed it. Someone can really enjoy that car.

Honestly sounds like the 'tech' is no better than the 'mobile mechanic' that was dumbfounded by the serpentine belt on my 04 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
I am a big Chrysler fan
Ethan Meyers same here. Chrysler is one of my favorite car companies alongside Ford and Chevrolet
Why do you like Chrysler?
You should take it top that dealership... get a quote on the control arm
I always make jokes about the gear shifter lol hope it's at least a foot long
Lol its less about the shifter and more about the cutout the shifter is in. Shape is clearly genitals
Good deal,these do have a pretty high resale value as people want them and they are reliable..
I have GM/Ford/VW/Honda/Toyota/Nissan with the same mileage and they needed the same type of repairs or even more than the Chrysler products needed..
People bash Chrysler because alot are jealous of the powerful cars they made in the 50's,60's 70's and even today..
Plus GM/Ford and Toyota guys hate the fact their car uses a Chrysler HEMI in Top Fuel , Top Alcohol,Funny car and Drag Racing,that really gets to them !!
Since 1992 The Viper dominated performance and road courses then the Hemi cars came out again and destroyed everything...
Thus GM/Ford guys bash Chrysler and most Import buyers bash them and anything American as being unreliable,yet they own more problematic vehicles.
I find that people bash them and never owned them...The majority of people never had a problem with them but never come out and tell people,more conservative I guess.
That black screen is for navigation..look inside the storage area in front of the rear hatch.pull back the liner and there should be a dvd player for the navigation..my disc was updated and I didn't buy it I have mine turned off
I would abought. But being 10 months too late. Damn the luck. Nice auto for 500.00 into it. Score on selling it. Great job.. ( yeah this was years ago.)
Ok i would of bought it... Couldn't my post. Frickin youtube
Fuck you youtube. Stop fucking with my outdated posts
Yeah, do the headlights. Hey, did you see my comment on the Saab video about determining the 'official' year of a vehicle just by looking at the 10th digit on the VIN?
hey i don't hate them but they have enough problems it's like buying a old British car sometimes they are good sometimes they are bad and you never know till you get it home and it breaks on you
dposer10 tbh every car has problems
dposer10 You know what they say about old British cars? If there isn't any oil underneath them, there isn't any oil in them.
Ae86 Hachi You could say the same about Italian cars.
I've put well over 200k on most of my Chrysler products yes they have stupid issues here and there but out off all the brands I have owned mopars have been the most reliable and cheapest to fix :)
Nice car bit they do have thier quirks
You can probably get a new seat bottom pretty cheaply to maximize resale value.
The screen in the middle is for navigation.. you have to play with it to see if it works
A very nice vehicle for the miles
Wow that engine purrs like new.
Ohh 180,000 miles, still not bad!
Yeah Mr. Customer your car needs a new engine (it's old and we can't sell it on our used car lot) so we will give you a trade in as it's not worth putting an engine in it we are doing you a favor :)
It must have that shift console optional lower dangley parts recognition security system. 🤣
*hell of a score on that one. hell yeah man throw a good clean up on that one and buff the headlights out good wax job and put that sucker up for sale if you got the title for it no reason in the world you shouldn't be able to tripple your money for it, all day long*
the car is still good, don't deserve this car for scrapped, i feel so sad to see this car for scrapped :((
How dare that dealership scrap this thing, it runs PERFECTLY.
Beautiful Car. You could get $3,500 for it easy.
Thats the goal! Waiting for this bad weather to pass us by so I can wash it up
Jay Smart These cars clean up well.
Jay Smart It's really incredible what some people consider junk. That guy from the dealership that sent it to you guys needs his head examined. Bad Engine my ass!!! 😂
@@BigJon22091 I have the same exact one which is a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. When I say I really adore this vehicle I really do. It's down for the moment due to a bad alternator, pulley, alternator belt, motor mount and a tune up. I can't wait to get it fixed and be back on the road again.
Does that odometer show 290,000 miles????
One of my coworkers owns a 2005. I asked him about the monitor in thr speedometer, and he said that it is a navigation system. It will not display anything unless it is switched on with the keypad.
Believe it or not but this is a collaboration between Mercedes and Chrysler like the Chrysler Crossfire and honestly they look alike and they also look like a Mercedes (Pacifica) outside (Crossfire) inside and outside
Tidy looking car, should put it up for sale.
That’s a steal man, good on you.
Needs the headlight restore treatment like the Taurus.
Hay u know what as long as it runs just let it be right? Don't care what model it is as long a it runs and drives
I'm a very big fan of Chrysler and Mopar
Eh I mean I'm a huge Mopar fan, the more the better 👌👌
oh yeah, put me in gear, baby.
I kind of like Pacifica although they are extremely rare where I live. Shame it was on a scrapyard.
Now they're a mini-van.
Yeah they only made these cars for a few years. Due to reliability issues they didn't make it and this gen of pacifica died. They brought the name plate back to replace the caravan/town and country name plate. But the new name plate is nothing like it's preprocessor. Nice looking vehicle though.
rbeez2004 they didn't replace the Caravan they replace the Town & Country they don't make this Town & Country anymore
I've been watching your channel for a while now....so what's the deal with the scrap yard? Do you work there? Does your dad own it or something?
Streetwhore8te4 right I'm curious to
Those r very good gas saver
Have you tried using the buttons to control the display and see if that makes anything happen?
I'm sure you keep your insurance company busy, add this vehicle, cancel this...ha
Ya just like mine 🤣(i have 2 companies, cause the one am using dont do cars older than 15-20 years, but i like the broker cause he puts up with me 🤣)
This was good idk if they consider this a mini van or SUV . but Chrysler vans last forever
crossover
letsvlogwith bigjohn offically its classified as minivan for insurance purposes so it keeps premiums lower.
Wes Orrin ok well the Chrysler mini vans are ment to last
You should keep this for yourself.
Luca Meschino fuck you, the only thing you say is keep it keep it, what do you expect?? Keep all the cars?? Are you stupid? He have to crush it!
juan manuel icazbalceta sometimes they do keep the cars but if it's in good condition they don't scrap it at all if it's broken Transmissions done then they'll scrap it but if it's in perfect condition just a few dents and scratches still keep the car if they don't want the car they sell it
Can't beat that for $500.
