Minivan Time fellas

Exactly, that’s why I’m looking at 2012 and newer. The safety features make them wort the extra coin over the previous generation.

If I could swing the $600 a month payment I would have a Pacifica Hybrid AWD in the driveway.
Caravans are very versatile vehicals and generally easy to work on,however they are prone to issues. If you are looking at a used one be sure to listen for any ticking in the valve train, indicating a roller rocker,lifter or worn cam lobe. I would also check to make sure the oil cooler is not dumping oil into the engine valley. Wouldn’t hurt to drop the trans pan and look for chunks as well. If air conditioning is a must, make sure it works as the rear under body lines and rear evaporators are common, expensive repairs.RJ
