Looked at a van tonight, everything looks good, 2012 model with 64,9xx miles.
They had it listed at $11,500, and after a test drive knocked it down to $11,200 because it needs detailed ( 4 children family)

I don’t see why they wouldn’t take the offer. 48 month service is coming up and that includes a transmission fluid flush. ( yeah, I checked online owners manual).
No response yet though.
Update:
Probablyshould have gone lower.

Thanks for the link. That’s what I was thinking, since Odysseys and Siennas wouldn’t be $11K for a 2012 with 63K miles.

As soon as I posted I edited to put it in there, but it did t show up, the link preview thing with the photo, so I had to X that and it kept just the link.

Hey, if you want/need it detailed, seriously let me know. I’d love to help you out. If you want the interior detailed, I’d throw in some extras for you for free!

Yeah that'd be awesome. Shoot an email to username@yahoo.com of course it has scratches all over.

That’s a Pentastar, right? I have a couple 2013 cargo versions that have been good vans, but there is a cylinder head issue with that engine. I have had to have it rebuilt on one of them. That was around 150k, I think. Honestly, I still like them a lot even with that problem. They’re both approaching 200k in the next couple months.

I apologize for having you write it out again. If it’s any consolation, the fastest vehicles on the highway are almost always a) sports cars, or b) dad’s in minivans. Those things can haul some ass (and some kids).

Grand Caravan, huh? You sure you're ready for that much sex appeal?

Oh it’s not that big of a deal, I’m cut anyway so at least I know we won’t be adding any more kids, also this will have way more room then her Equinox which I’m pretty sure she picked out because it was green.
We have a family vehicle with cruise control for the first time!

Yeah the center counsel may be a bit of a hinderance.

actually... you say that. but my brother has a toyota previa, and the lack of centre console is super handy to zip to the back to deal with kid issues. no need to get in and out of the vehicle.

I'm talking about the new to me center area.
