[net.auto] Caravan/Voyager information?

meyer@waltz.UUCP (01/29/85)

I am about to embark on the purchase of the Caravan (or Voyager -- same
thing) mini-van, and I am interested in any of you out there that have any 
information on them.  If you own one, do you have any dissappointments?
Did you get any options that you thought were a waste for the money?
Is the beast holding up.  How comfortable is it at speed down the road?
Do you know if there is an option to get a seat that can fold down like
a bed?

One thing I would really like to hear is if the dealers are dealing these
days.  I've noticed that the list price has about a 13.5% markup.  What
can I expect to chew them down to?  I know of a guy that bought one a year
ago -- he was only able to find one dealer out of 5 that was willing to
sell it at LIST!  Are dealers moving alot of cars these days?  Is there
some place where I can find out how many cars a dealer has moved compared
to what his "quota" is?

Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
