As soon as you get the vehicle, make sure to spray paint all the windows black behind the driver's row and write "Free Candy" on one side and "Come See the Puppies" on the other.

Kidding, but those vehicles are aging crappily.

I would recommend against an old MOPAR minivan; if you have to have a used minivan, go Nissan, Toyota or Honda. A domestic choice would include full-sized Chevy/GMCs or Astro/Safari FWDs.

Since i do this for a living (wholesale)... that dealer probably took it in on a trade. Probably paid $2500 for it, put $500 in recon and priced it at $4900. After salesman commission he is hoping to net $1k. If you want, wait 14 days and go back and see if its their and have cash on hand. It cant age on their lot.

I walked on this vehicle after offering the guy $800 for it. Reason for the $800? Looks like it had been in one hell of a wreck. Front passenger door did not even close and there was damage to a lot of the panels. The back glass panel was held on to the vehicle with clear tape. The sales guy did not care, he said someone will buy this vehicle at $4900

I have found a 99 Toyota Sienna for $3200, private sale. KBB priced it as $2800.

I agree with some of the other posters, my gut tells me to walk away from the older MOPAR vehicles.
