Hi!

I'm looking for a new van.  My daily is a 2013 Veloster Turbo.  It's not a bad
car, but is miserable if you need to carry more than one passenger lol.  I had
a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, but I idiotically murdered it.  It was running
rough and threw a misfire code so I figured I'd start by changing the plugs.
The back three are really hard to get to and I did not realize my ratchet was
at an angle so I started to torque the plug and ended up shearing it off in the
block.  (sigh)

So that was the end of that van.  I was quoted $1200-1500 to have it fixed, and
it isn't really worth putting that into as it's pretty rusty.  So I was
thinking about a last generation T&C.  I've heard though they have transmission
issues.  Of course, I hear that about ALL Mopar products, lol.  My GC never had
any trans issues.  I was just curious what peoples' experiences are, if anyone
has any with the last gen T&C.

I like the amenities, the specs seem decent, I really like how the sliding door
windows are movable and it looks decent.  Just don't wanna get into a money
pit.

I had a 2000 BMW 740i sport once, loved that car but talk about a money pit.  I
had it for five years and it cost me just under thirty thousand in maintenance
- and that's at an indy using internet sourced parts.  Not even going to the
dealer.  Though sometimes using cheap parts ended up costing me more; after a
few low lifespan purchases I started buying more costly OE stuff.  But anyway,
yea, after that car I tend to try to avoid maintenance headache vehicles :D
