Pls I want to buy these 2005 Chrysler Pacifica AWD Limited SUV but before I do I need to know if it durable and good for the Nigeria road

what do you need in a car? fuel economy not so great, mechanics few, and the engine most times never recovers from overheating...y not buy a toyota venza instead?

A Pacifica is actually a Mercedes Chrysler romance, its actually lower standard for Mercedes quality finishes. Folks say its unreliable (Chrysler/Mercedes merger of equal was a failure and caused Mercedes quality standards to plummet).

NOT everyone does a venza due to personal reasons.

It's a strong ride but not reliable, not durable and not economical.

No economy and durability in that Stationwagon Quasi SUV, as for Honda wheel mishap, its only a Nigerian/African phenomenon. I've not seen where people in US, UK, Asia, Australia/NZ complain of such leg pull palava. Besides, it occurs if your ball joints are worn out or you install a cheap chinese part yet you're still driving it.

Test drive if you like it buy, be mindful you will be your own technician because Kazeem no sabi.

If the car is so unreliable, compare the sale numbers to that of the Venza on Wikipedia.

It is a luxurious first generation crossover If I have to make a choice based on my knoledge I will buy and low ball the seller.

AWD comes with higher trims so that car is $30k plus new
