Van shopping part deux
Back to the old drawing board.

I had a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Touring with 24k miles and talked them into including the Lifetime PowerTrain Warranty free (normally $1650 extra) for $17,995 lined up but, after my first test drive last week I found a problem with the shift from 1st to 2nd. They looked into it and determined it needed a new part. They then chose to replace the entire transmission with a brand new unit. Okay, fine. Today I went back to test drive it again and now after I finish the drive, there is a ticking coming from the engine when it is shut off. They tell me it is just the "heat shield" cooling off. This ticking is loud though. bordering on annoying. They agree to put it back up on the rack tomorrow morning to look it over and see if it could be anything else.

So, I am also looking at a 2005 Honda Odyssey EXL with 52k miles for $18,816 that has leather seats and a DVD system and a limited 3 yr 100k mile warranty. 48k miles left on that.

I have also looked at a 2007 Hyundai Entourage base model (no power anything) and a ugly tan interior fabric with 13k miles for $13,988. My major problem with this is that the cockpit is too small for my 6'2" frame and the fact it is base model.

I want to go with the T&C but am very concerned over the "ticking" issue. If the other vehicles I tested made the same noise I wouldn't be worried about it but they don't make that noise. I even drove another 2008 T&C and a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT (exact same as T&C) no ticking. Problem with the others I drove is that they can't come close to the price of the one mentioned above.

Any thoughts?

Interesting. I've really liked mine. My only complaints are that the interior parts are crap (I've replaced all four door pulls once, and three of those are broken again), and that they put the damn battery down in front of the wheel well. That makes it a MAJOR PITA if you ever have to troubleshoot the damn thing.

Vans are so uncool now.

We need more competition in the auto industry.

We need to let more good designers get top jobs.

American car companies = anti ipod coolness. More like soviet inspired autos.

We have a 2002 Honda Odyssey, it has been very reliable for the 3 years we have owned it.

Go to Edmunds and look through their forum, particularly the Smart Shopper forum. There is quite a bit there about EW's. You can buy an EW from any dealer in the country and there are some really good deals out there.
this is the god's honest truth. we deal with ALOT of these things and people hardly ever get anything paid for. it's VERY TOUGH trust me on this

Oh, I agree. I was laughing at the fact that we have an ad for a 3rd-party warranty at the bottom of the thread dissing them.

Guru, after 20 years in the automobile industry, I feel that the Odyssey is the best mini van on the market. Good job.
