Tips on Buying Cars: Used mini vans, dodge caravans, dodge caravan

Question
I want to buy a 2 or 3 year old mini van.  I have a 1996 Dodge Caravan right now with 95K miles and unlike many others have had very few problems with it.

I am interested in reliability over styling.  What do you suggest in a 2001, 2002 model.

Never leased before. Should that be an option for me?

Answer
Leasing is not the best way to go (IMHO), BECAUSE REALLY YOU ARE RENTING A CAR! Apurchase of a 1-3 year old vehicle with an extended warranty would be the best option. I like the 2003 and 2004 Dodge Caravans as they are loaded and can be purchased for $17-20,000! E-mail me back at stevez53@bellsouth.net and tell me where you live and maybe i can direct you to the best dealer in your area. Also any other questions, please let me know!
