Well, my wifes car (97 Lesabre) needs $700-1000 in work done to it, and we were only planning to keep it for maybe another 6-12 months or so. Now we're leaning towards replacement, as I'd rather finance a new vehicle than pay interest on a credit card since my vehicle fund has been depleted a bit working on my truck and car.
The shop where the car is has a 2008 Grand Caravan w/ 35,000 miles on it for $15,000 (assuming room for dickering here). I know the 08 was the first year for that body style. Anybody here have one? Any issues? We're looking towards Dodge (or chrysler I suppose) but not afraid of Toyota or any other suggestions either.
Next week we've got some time to go shopping, and I'm gonna call the insurance man tomorrow and shoot a couple different models his way and see what comes back. I'm thinking 3-5 years old, under $15000. I don't want to go older than 5 years simply because the interest rates on an auto loan go sky high for a 6 year old vehicle. Hoping that's an ace in my pocket, because they know '08's are more expensive to finance come Jan. 1st as well.
*according to KBB.com, the '08 is priced reasonably. Edmunds puts it about $2000 lower*
Any input, troubles, good things, etc, are welcome

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
