Okay, so the Aztek left ms stranded again on January 7th; not 30 minutes after I had left the dealership with the understanding that there was nothing wrong and what needed fixing could wait until Tuesday. :::Buzzer rings:::
So, on Jan 10th, I went and got the car I wanted:
a 2006 AWD Pacifica in Magnesium Pearl.
Anyway, that's that.
